Hell yes! Let's Gooo! The most powerful and advanced commuter scooter that I can easily bring inside buses and tight apartments! Can't wait for your full detailed review on this as I will be getting the Go by the summer!
Dang Apollo is good at making scooters. Makes me proud to be from Quebec :) I have a City Pro and it changed my life, sometimes I wouldn't start my car for weeks and it felt awesome. I freaking love it, and this Go looks like a simpler, lighter City Pro with plenty enough performance.
Sounds great! I'm upgrading from my Segway Ninebot F2 Pro into the Apollo Go here in NYC by this summer and I never even own a car at all let alone a driver's license! In fact, I never see myself owning a car at all in the foreseeable future now with all these lifesaving personal vehicles!
Electric Scooter Guide is the best! I love all of the detail you include in all of your electric scooter reviews and unboxings! This new dual-motor scooter looks like a great ride!
I'm traveling everyday 13 miles one way to and from work in London. I already saved a lot of money ( travelcard almost 100£ a week to get to the place I work ). It's a future of transport:)
This is such an amazing scooter that your sub count has risen from roughly 91K prior to this review to now 95K in such a short period of time! The Go will be the primary reason why you will soon earn that RUclips Silver Play Button! You better do that unboxing as well as you hang it in your office!
Thanks so much for watching! We'll have the full review out a week from now with all of the tested numbers and comparisons to other scooters! I can tell you now that ride quality is absolutely outstanding though. It's like a mini Apollo Pro! -Paul
I don't do electric scooters anymore because I had an accident with my Apollo Air last summer that gave me a torn knee ligament lol, but if I were still riding scooters, I'd definitely go for this one.
Oh man! Sorry to hear about your knee! Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate it and wish you a full recovery (if not fully recovered already). -Paul
Can we get a comparison between the go and city? I live in NYC (3 floor walk up) and have been leaning more towards the go but the city’s extra battery/deck space seems helpful despite the difference in weight
I do a lot of comparison between the performance of the City and Go in the full review. I was only going to do a little comparing, but comments like yours informed me that folks were really interested in the differences. Thanks so much. This sort of engagement really helps us make better videos! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide appreciate the response! and definitely, I know most would make the comparison to the air but I’d probably use it as my main vehicle over my car for the spring-fall months commuting around Brooklyn and over the bridge to Manhattan pretty frequently. Looking forward to the full review!
Good eye, I didn't notice that while filming or editing, but I did notice the magnet last night when I was folding the scooter and sent feedback to Apollo. They're checking to see if someone used the wrong glue or not enough glue on this one unit, or if different glue needs to be used across the board in production. It's weird because they've been using magnets like this for ages on their scooters. -Paul
I'm thinking that the second generation of the Apollo Go, will be my first scooter. Trying to be patient while Apollo works out any kinks from this first generation Go. I have a fear of buying an expensive doorstop on wheels, the way that some scooter owners have; with basically new scooters that they can't ride, because they can't fix their problems. Either because the problems are an enigma, or because they simply can't source the parts tha they need to fix the problem.
In a way, this is already the second gen. Apollo quietly did a beta-progam for the Go, like they did with the Apollo Pro where they shipped out early units and gathered feedback. Then they used that feedback in the production version. -Paul
Need to know What's in advanced settings in app also how cruise control works and is activated? After 5 seconds, holding a button for 5 seconds I have had scooters with different options. Thanks
Great timing Erik, We're minutes from filming, and now the details you asked for will be in the full Apollo Go review! So you don't have to wait a week: Cruise control is currently time-based. You enable or disable in the app, and then you can also set how many seconds you want to hold the throttle before it kicks in. I've been told an update is coming which will make cruise control even better, but I haven't seen it yet. Other advanced settings include changing the intensity of the regen brakes and throttle, and how many minutes of idle-time before the scooter turns itself off. -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks Paul can't wait for the full review, ordered one of these cause I have a couple steep hills to get to work and my other scooters I had to kick assist or walk up the hill, also a heavier rider, looks like it can tackle most hills though from your video. Also wanted something light unlike my vsett 10+ I'm selling which is a beast but overkill now for a simple short commute and this scooter has the right mix of everything. Auto cruise control is best cause then you just have to think about braking after it's on rather than pressing a button or something for 10 seconds and counting down in head then having to look down at display to see if it's on or not so not as safe as auto, I got a NIU Kqi2 pro and it has an audible beep when it auto engaged cruise control which I like and think everyone should do this. Thanks again paul
👌 I'd love to see another version of this scooter with the option of interchangeable bigger wheels, and a smaller battery to keep the weight down. Quick-swap batteries would solve the issue of lower range caused by a smaller battery. Being able to detach batteries would also help with portability. I also think e-scooter designers should introduce a 'Kick Assist' mode option for all of the new e-scooters they make. What I mean by 'Kick Assist' is electrical assistance that allows the e-scooter wheels to continue rolling for longer than usual after the user manually pushes it with their feet. The duration of electrically assisted rolling would be based on the force and frequency of the manual pushes. I think Kick Assist would be a welcomed additional mode in places where e-scooters are currenty illegal because it would work in very similar way to a manual kick-scooter with very little rolling resistance.
That's such an interesting idea. I've never heard anyone suggest anything like it. I can also see that being useful when you get down to the last 5% battery. Could it stretch the last 2 miles to = 4 miles? If so, that would be a super cool feature! I would absolutely love to play with a scooter that worked that way. It would be like the whole world is a 2% downhill grade. -Paul
What you said about battery preservation is true too. I've been sharing my kick-assist suggestion with a few e-scooter manufacturers. Hopefully one of their designers experiment with the idea. 🙏
Finallly! This is the scooter I have been looking for for years as a replacement to my Boosted rev... I love my Rev, but I know it won't last forever and I have been looking for a dual motor scooter from a solid brand at no more than 21kg. And this is the one. Glad it's coming to Europe in the summer. Hope it comes to Switzerland by the end of the year, otherwise I'll have to import it from the UK... I wonder if you can test the acceleration from 0 to 15mph, I think it was 2.7 seconds for the Rev based on your tests, wondering if this is similar. This will anyway be an upgrade on almost every front, other maybe that it being too high (I love how the Rev is low to the ground, but I know not everyone feels the same). Hope my Rev can survive until I can have this baby...
It's close. I weighed it at 22.3kg I can't reveal the 0 to 15 yet, but the Rev is going to be noticeably quicker to 15mph. The Go has higher tested top speed and way more range than the Boosted though. We still have a Boosted here. It's a classic. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Amazing that you still have a Boosted! It's a bit of a shame that it has less acceleration, but after all the boosted was 750w per motor I think... But it's an upgrade in almost every respect. Thanks for the weight and hope you'll be able to disclose the acceleration at some point (I can understand Apollo doesn't want to reveal it yet, since it's probably not the main strength, but this is such a great scooter anyway).
Thank you so much. I don't think I'll be in NY this year. It's tough for me to travel. We have kids at home who are 6 and 9 years old. That's why Mitchell has been kind enough to do all of the videos on the road like Amsterdam, Arizona and Las Vegas. Rider Fest was a rare exception because I wanted to race and Mitchell didn't care for being on the track. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideCan we please get an e-scooter helmet recommendation guide for 2024? I had my eye on the unit one faro for visibility, but thought I never had a full face helmet, & perhaps that works better for electric scooters above 20 MPH instead, thanks! 🙏
Thanks so much! One week from today we'll release the full review with the tested performance and we'll also compare it to some other popular scooters at around the same price! -Paul
Have you guys heard anything about the Apollo Ghost? I see they sold them all and it’s not offered on their website anymore. Are they planning to redesign the Ghost?
My goodness, what city are you in, what fascinating buildings and houses, I'd visit just for the architecture 😂 Really love the look of this scooter, had my heart on the city, now going to watch your next video, such great content!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Bay side of which city, there are thousands of bayside suburbs around the world lol, I know you are in USA, just curious from the bayside of Brisbane Australia 😏
Hey- it looks like you sped up the video on the hill climb portion, and really made no comments on it's performance of the climb. Can you share more about how long that took, rider weight, MPH average on the climb, etc? I'm torn between the Segway Max G2 and the Apollo GO, and really trying to figure out which one is right for us. I plan on buying three!
More details are here in our full review. ruclips.net/video/T-e1Vw9BkHU/видео.htmlsi=0us3hspeonR7aTyv You can also see the data directly in out ridefinder tool at electricscooterguide dot com -Paul
Could you comment on whether it locks up when it's turned off? I have the KQI Air and it's super annoying that it automatically locks and arms the alarm when it's powered off because I can't roll it around when I'm getting on the train. Is this just unlocked by default?
Wow, that's a tough decision. The Mantis King GT is pretty amazing, and if you like having enough power to scare yourself, it's really fun (you can always turn the power down if it's too much). The Cruiser has the range advantage, of course and is generally a more mellow ride (though still quick). So, if you enjoy sporty riding, the Mantis would be the better choice of the two, but if you're looking for raw transportation per dollar, then the Cruiser. The Apollo Go is kind of right in between those two, but I would say easier to ride and certainly easier to carry than either of them. -Paul
Do the motors have disconnecting cables for easy tire change? Also, at first glance it appears that adding additional lights to the handlebar would be problematic.
Hey guys! We have an unagi scooter currently but looking for an upgrade for more fun. What would you recommend for us more the Apollo go or the Kaabo Mantis x
Both are excellent options! Apollo has the city and phantom that are really solid! Check out their lineup geni.us/ApolloDirect Use Code RIDERGUIDE for Max Discount
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide or if there is any other scooter you think we should consider.. we want something more fun and playful for curb jumping and wheelies etc or the random off trail ride. We started watching youtube vids on the gotrax gx1/2 and Apollo and kaboo mantis but without the ability to try them we are definitely open to your recommendations on which to try or go with
This might be a good 2nd scooter for me because of it's small size and light weight. The only problem for me is its limited range and throttle being on the wrong side (I'm a motorcycle rider). My current scooter has dual 3000W motors and a 60 mile range. It will climb any hill in San Francisco with authority. Problem is, it weighs about 110 lbs and is a pain in the arse to get into my car.
I was considering buying the apollo phantom v4 as a performance scooter, only because it has an actually good and usable apps, other than Segway and Apollo, do you recommend any other brand of performance scooters with a good app and acceleration?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide The code RIDERGUIDE doesn't work with the phantom and shipping protection in cart, it says "Enter a valid discount code or gift card" instead.
seems strange to have regen brake AND mechanical brake on the same side. Paul, you're a motorcyclist, there we have the most powerful break (front) on the same side with the throttle as you are NOT going to use both at once, so your hand is free to concentrate on one or the other. If you're on the regen, and suddenly someone pulls out in front of you, can you get to that mechanical lever instantly? Does it depend on the size of your hand?
Hey man! We wanted to keep the brakes on one side, it's also good to know that the mechanical brake does engage the regen brake as well, as the brake handle is equipped with Hall position sensors!
My guess is that this is more of a competition for the Inmotion climber and not the G2, despite looking close to it, and with apollo's reputation I would only consider this if I lived in an area without any bumps, since the climber has no suspension however it's still cheaper and feels better.
Unfortunately we haven't tested that one yet. I'll see if it's coming our way though! Thanks for asking! I want to make sure to keep the climber on our radar! -Paul
I love these new scooters. It is just sad that Sweden has a 250-watt limit for power... I can lose my driver's license if I get any of these scooters you reviewed.
Meanwhile in California we're bombing around on 72mph beast scooters. It's technically illegal to go faster than 15mph, but enforcement is very reasonable. If you're not riding dangerously right in front of law enforcement, they tend to leave you alone here. -Paul
Hi Paul ! Loved your review about the Apollo Go scooter, it's a pleasure hearing your insides and knowledge about all the scooters that you review. I request you to please find a way on how I can get this scooter in India. Thank you :).
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideThanks for the prompt reply. I can go on and on watching your videos as you have extensive knowledge about all the brands and models. I'm really interested to get one for myself asap in my country but can't find a way to get it. Thanks again, God bless. 😊
Yes. They aren’t collecting dust. I actually use most of them to compare with other scooters we’re reviewing. But 50 of them need to go, and we have a plan for that. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide ok one last question. Im about to pull the trigger on Apollo city. But I see the punk rider pro with dual 600w motors and significantly less in price. Thoughts? Should I still go for Apollo?
I'm a first time watcher. I'm looking for a scooter that can carry a big person 400+ is there such a scooter. Back in da day I use to be less then 275lb. Can you guide me in the right direction???? Thanks
Welcome to the channel! I'm so glad you're here. We literally test more electric scooters than anyone, and we do it scientifically, since I'm an actual scientist! Let me have a look at the weigh limits! The EMOVE Roadster from Voro Motors says it can handle 500 lbs, but it costs as much as a used car. Other than that the EMOVE Cruiser seems closest at 350 lbs and is much more affordable. -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you so much ya these days cost is the MAIN factor here. I'm not actually over 400lb. And also I'm not doing bunny hops or jumps over the grand canyon hahaha. Just something to go to work and home with a backpack on. 400+ is with a small load in the backpack and maybe a grocery bag.
Ah, of course! Yeah, that's a good point that it's the total weight that matters! I wear 9 pounds of riding gear when I'm testing! Remember to subscribe if you haven't already! We make a ton of content just like this. You can do a search for scooters with high rider weight limit on the Rider Guide website. Scroll down to adjust the weight limit. compare.riderguide.com/ -Paul
Seems nice, but a bit mucj at the price point . Comparing to the $469 currently being asked for the Hover-1 Journey max. Tubed tires and max speed of 21 with similar range. Slower acceleration and lose a few mph, and tubed tires but less than half the price
Tue, even at it's retail price of $599 the Journey Max has amazing raw hill climbing power per dollar. The real difference between the two is ride quality. I love the value of the Journey Max in terms of performance per dollar, but the Go is on a different planet when it comes to ride quality. It's not that the ride quality of the Journey Max is bad, it's that the Go's ride quality is nearly on par with the $4k Apollo Pro. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide fair point. I am more of a value consumer, I look at apollo as a premium brand but would have a hard time buying this vs say a price competitor like the emove cruiser or a comparable value scooter like the journey max. But I can see the draw if you wanted a more premium build and nice suspension instead of ordering by spec sheet.
Yeah, I hear where you're coming from. One of the things you said is going to be a theme in the upcoming Apollo Go review: Some of the things Apollo does best just don't show up on a spec sheet. Even worse (for me), "good ride quality" is really hard to describe! I always try to show the things that each scooter does best and worst, and it's so much easier when I get to write a headline like "Fastest for $xxx" than when I want to say something like: "We think this scooter will last 10 years, based on x, y, and z but we can't conclusively prove it" or "there's something about this ride quality that's amazing, but I can't really measure it."! :-) -Paul
The EMOVE Cruiser S a great scooter and one of the scooters I'm going to compare with the Go in the full review. The Cruiser S has higher top speed and more range, but the Go has better ride quality a much more modern design, and will be lower maintenance with it's drum/regen brakes. -Paul
That was a recent change. It originally ran through the hinge. I saw a recent video where Eloi explained why they moved it, but can't remember what the reason was. -Paul
There we go! Right from the source! Thank you Eloi! In case anyone doesn't recognize his handle, Eloi is the man behind the Apollo Go and all Apollo Scooters! -Paul
Hey! Quadlock is compatible with Magsafe, I use it myself! Also, Magsafe by itself is not strong enough to securely lock the phone in place while riding!
Great review--thank you! My previous scooter experience was on rentals, the Lime in particular, but I bought the 2024 Go. Go is faster & quicker than the 2024 Lime, but the Lime is smoother, more comfortable, and more stable. The Go wheels are tiny for portability, but it’s a bumpy ride and not very comfortable. The wheels take literally five strokes from the Joe Blow bike pump. The Go won’t fit in my WRX sedan trunk, unless I leave the trunk open. It’s very tight. The Go fits in the back seat of my car but it takes the full length of the seat. I’m not sure if the City or Klima would fit on the back seat. The Go fits easily in our Impreza hatchback, and it could easily hold two The deck of the Go is a bit cramped and I find myself shifting my feet around frequently on a one hour ride. The Go climbs small hills well, and large hills slowly. I live in the mountains. Battery drains quickly for 195 pound rider at mostly full speed, but it lasts a long time at more comfortable speeds. Dot Matrix display needs trip odometer and clock. Definitely room for improvement on the display. I don’t like it. Quad phone mount is useful but I don’t like fiddling with my phone. Excellent production quality & shipping Unit arrived from Best Buy in two days, perfect shape Very good help desk response over text & email Good printed documentation for setup Decent smart phone app for settings, but could be simplified. Good assembly video on RUclips. Easy & exciting setup. I never want to be a scooter mechanic and Paul @Electric Scooter Review scored the Go 9.2 out of 10 for maintenance. This was a big factor in my purchase. I like the scooter but wish for longer range and a smoother ride, without sacrificing portability. I want it all! Now I’m thinking I’d go with electric bikes if I had the choice again.
Another great scooter. I often wonder why almost no other scooter has a stem that latches down the way the Voyager's does. It's so fast to latch and un-latch. It might be that only a very light scooter can use that type of stem latch. -Paul
We’ve reviewed more than 90% of them. We keep them as reference scooters. For example, if I want to know if a scooter has better ride quality than a Boosted Rev, I can ride the Rev and the other scooter back to back. -Paul

It's tough for me to travel. We have kids at home who are 6 and 9 years old. That's why Mitchell has been kind enough to do all of the videos on the road like Amsterdam, Arizona and Las Vegas. Rider Fest was a rare exception because I wanted to race and Mitchell didn't care for being on the track.

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideCan we please get an e-scooter helmet recommendation guide for 2024?
I had my eye on the unit one faro for visibility, but thought I never had a full face helmet, & perhaps that works better for electric scooters above 20 MPH instead, thanks! 🙏
Great review Paul!
Thanks so much! One week from today we'll release the full review with the tested performance and we'll also compare it to some other popular scooters at around the same price! -Paul
I want it ! Hopefully coming to UK !
I just asked Apollo. I'll let you know! -Paul
Apollo saw your message (I forwarded it to them) and responded.
They say to expect them in June or July from RideandGlide.co.uk. -Paul
Wow 😱 that is what I was looking for how wide is the handlebars hope it's not to long. Love it and your short review 😊
Thanks so much for the kind words. I measured the bar width just now. They're 20.25 inches wide. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide loved your sneakers
Ha ha thanks! Our previous managing-director didn't care for these shoes on camera, but I like them. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Paul it shows you got good taste 🥂
Have you guys heard anything about the Apollo Ghost? I see they sold them all and it’s not offered on their website anymore. Are they planning to redesign the Ghost?
I'll see what I can find out. -Paul
Does the Apollo app have a battery limiter when charging like the segway max g2 does?
I didn’t see one in the app at this time. -Paul
My goodness, what city are you in, what fascinating buildings and houses, I'd visit just for the architecture 😂
Really love the look of this scooter, had my heart on the city, now going to watch your next video, such great content!
Glad you enjoyed! We in the Bay Area.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Bay side of which city, there are thousands of bayside suburbs around the world lol, I know you are in USA, just curious from the bayside of Brisbane Australia 😏
Hey- it looks like you sped up the video on the hill climb portion, and really made no comments on it's performance of the climb. Can you share more about how long that took, rider weight, MPH average on the climb, etc? I'm torn between the Segway Max G2 and the Apollo GO, and really trying to figure out which one is right for us. I plan on buying three!
More details are here in our full review.

Wow now I'm kinda sorry I bought a City Pro. It has been over a year, but I think the Go fits my needs better.
We'll compare to the City Pro a bit too. There are definitely some applications where the City Pro is going to be a better fit! -Paul
Could you comment on whether it locks up when it's turned off? I have the KQI Air and it's super annoying that it automatically locks and arms the alarm when it's powered off because I can't roll it around when I'm getting on the train. Is this just unlocked by default?
Doesn’t automatically lock!
Hi Paul. Is there any escooter event coming to Canada, particularly Ottawa or Montreal this summer?
Not that we know of!
I was wondering whether this could hold up to the hills by my apartment. Then you scooted right past my building!
lol haha
😂😂👏
What degree slope is that where you live? Also, did you buy a Go?
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide what was the incline of that hill? How long did it take you? And what speed was it keeping at?
@@karenbarry4193exactly would be key to know. How fast can it sustain a climb and how much battery depleted etc
I'm 4.5 hours north and would love to tell you to take the rivertrail to the rail trail on the Sacramento River
Ooooh! That sounds like a blast, and would make a great video. -Paul
do you think it would be better for me to get the emove cruiser S for commuting or the mantis king GT?
Cruiser if you need more range , mantis if you need more speed and hills. You can use code RIDERGUIDE for $50 off
Wow, that's a tough decision. The Mantis King GT is pretty amazing, and if you like having enough power to scare yourself, it's really fun (you can always turn the power down if it's too much). The Cruiser has the range advantage, of course and is generally a more mellow ride (though still quick). So, if you enjoy sporty riding, the Mantis would be the better choice of the two, but if you're looking for raw transportation per dollar, then the Cruiser. The Apollo Go is kind of right in between those two, but I would say easier to ride and certainly easier to carry than either of them. -Paul
sounds good thank you so much
You're welcome! -Paul
Do the motors have disconnecting cables for easy tire change? Also, at first glance it appears that adding additional lights to the handlebar would be problematic.
There are extender kits for handlebars!
Hey guys! We have an unagi scooter currently but looking for an upgrade for more fun. What would you recommend for us more the Apollo go or the Kaabo Mantis x
Both are excellent options! Apollo has the city and phantom that are really solid! Check out their lineup geni.us/ApolloDirect
Use Code RIDERGUIDE for Max Discount
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide or if there is any other scooter you think we should consider.. we want something more fun and playful for curb jumping and wheelies etc or the random off trail ride. We started watching youtube vids on the gotrax gx1/2 and Apollo and kaboo mantis but without the ability to try them we are definitely open to your recommendations on which to try or go with
This might be a good 2nd scooter for me because of it's small size and light weight. The only problem for me is its limited range and throttle being on the wrong side (I'm a motorcycle rider). My current scooter has dual 3000W motors and a 60 mile range. It will climb any hill in San Francisco with authority. Problem is, it weighs about 110 lbs and is a pain in the arse to get into my car.
Where can I get one?
This link should take you there. Please let me know if it doesn't work. -Paul
geni.us/ApolloGo?track=ytu
Ok thanks
I was considering buying the apollo phantom v4 as a performance scooter, only because it has an actually good and usable apps, other than Segway and Apollo, do you recommend any other brand of performance scooters with a good app and acceleration?
Phantom is a great choice for sure! Great value. Zippy acceleration! Good suspension and dedicated regen. Use code RIDERGUIDE for $50 off
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide The code RIDERGUIDE doesn't work with the phantom and shipping protection in cart, it says "Enter a valid discount code or gift card" instead.

I wanna cop the Apollo Go 🛴💨
seems strange to have regen brake AND mechanical brake on the same side. Paul, you're a motorcyclist, there we have the most powerful break (front) on the same side with the throttle as you are NOT going to use both at once, so your hand is free to concentrate on one or the other. If you're on the regen, and suddenly someone pulls out in front of you, can you get to that mechanical lever instantly? Does it depend on the size of your hand?
Regen is a thumb and mechanical is a lever so you can def press in case of emergency.
Hey man! We wanted to keep the brakes on one side, it's also good to know that the mechanical brake does engage the regen brake as well, as the brake handle is equipped with Hall position sensors!
My guess is that this is more of a competition for the Inmotion climber and not the G2, despite looking close to it, and with apollo's reputation I would only consider this if I lived in an area without any bumps, since the climber has no suspension however it's still cheaper and feels better.
We should have a chance to test the climber in the next few months. -Paul
What do you mean by Apollo’s reputation?
Can you compare this to the Inmotion Climber?
Unfortunately we haven't tested that one yet. I'll see if it's coming our way though! Thanks for asking! I want to make sure to keep the climber on our radar! -Paul
Update: I checked and we do have plans to get a Climber. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thank you!
I love these new scooters. It is just sad that Sweden has a 250-watt limit for power... I can lose my driver's license if I get any of these scooters you reviewed.
Wow! Hope that changes soon for you
It's so strange that they're so restrictive. 250-watts isn't enough to climb most steep hills. -Paul
Nanny state
Meanwhile in California we're bombing around on 72mph beast scooters. It's technically illegal to go faster than 15mph, but enforcement is very reasonable. If you're not riding dangerously right in front of law enforcement, they tend to leave you alone here. -Paul
Hi Paul !
Loved your review about the Apollo Go scooter, it's a pleasure hearing your insides and knowledge about all the scooters that you review. I request you to please find a way on how I can get this scooter in India.
Thank you :).
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully Apollo can get it there one day for sure.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideThanks for the prompt reply.
I can go on and on watching your videos as you have extensive knowledge about all the brands and models.
I'm really interested to get one for myself asap in my country but can't find a way to get it.
Thanks again, God bless. 😊
Do you have any recommendations on shops that do repairs on scooters in the Bay Area?
Yes go to alienrides shop! Ask for Kevin
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Who is Kevin? Shop owner? Thanks
Is there a plan for all of those aside from collecting dust?
Yes. They aren’t collecting dust. I actually use most of them to compare with other scooters we’re reviewing. But 50 of them need to go, and we have a plan for that. -Paul
Apollo go or Apollo city? Which is the better buy?
We like the City Better but the Go is very good as well. Use code RIDERGUIDE for max discount.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide ok one last question. Im about to pull the trigger on Apollo city. But I see the punk rider pro with dual 600w motors and significantly less in price. Thoughts? Should I still go for Apollo?
I'm a first time watcher. I'm looking for a scooter that can carry a big person 400+ is there such a scooter. Back in da day I use to be less then 275lb. Can you guide me in the right direction????
Thanks
Welcome to the channel! I'm so glad you're here. We literally test more electric scooters than anyone, and we do it scientifically, since I'm an actual scientist!
Let me have a look at the weigh limits! The EMOVE Roadster from Voro Motors says it can handle 500 lbs, but it costs as much as a used car. Other than that the EMOVE Cruiser seems closest at 350 lbs and is much more affordable.
-Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you so much ya these days cost is the MAIN factor here. I'm not actually over 400lb. And also I'm not doing bunny hops or jumps over the grand canyon hahaha. Just something to go to work and home with a backpack on. 400+ is with a small load in the backpack and maybe a grocery bag.
Ah, of course! Yeah, that's a good point that it's the total weight that matters! I wear 9 pounds of riding gear when I'm testing!

Emove cruiser s or Apollo’s go?
The Cruiser S is one of the comparison scooters in the full review that comes out on Tuesday. -Paul
Seems nice, but a bit mucj at the price point . Comparing to the $469 currently being asked for the Hover-1 Journey max. Tubed tires and max speed of 21 with similar range. Slower acceleration and lose a few mph, and tubed tires but less than half the price
Tue, even at it's retail price of $599 the Journey Max has amazing raw hill climbing power per dollar. The real difference between the two is ride quality. I love the value of the Journey Max in terms of performance per dollar, but the Go is on a different planet when it comes to ride quality. It's not that the ride quality of the Journey Max is bad, it's that the Go's ride quality is nearly on par with the $4k Apollo Pro. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide fair point. I am more of a value consumer, I look at apollo as a premium brand but would have a hard time buying this vs say a price competitor like the emove cruiser or a comparable value scooter like the journey max. But I can see the draw if you wanted a more premium build and nice suspension instead of ordering by spec sheet.
Yeah, I hear where you're coming from. One of the things you said is going to be a theme in the upcoming Apollo Go review: Some of the things Apollo does best just don't show up on a spec sheet. Even worse (for me), "good ride quality" is really hard to describe! I always try to show the things that each scooter does best and worst, and it's so much easier when I get to write a headline like "Fastest for $xxx" than when I want to say something like: "We think this scooter will last 10 years, based on x, y, and z but we can't conclusively prove it" or "there's something about this ride quality that's amazing, but I can't really measure it."! :-) -Paul
But its 26 lbs and dual motor, consider that when toting it around and if you have any hills
It turns out that it's not 46lbs. When we weighed it, it was 49.2lbs. -Paul
Awesome, but I feel like it should cost less. At that price point I'm going for the Emove Cruiser S.
The EMOVE Cruiser S a great scooter and one of the scooters I'm going to compare with the Go in the full review. The Cruiser S has higher top speed and more range, but the Go has better ride quality a much more modern design, and will be lower maintenance with it's drum/regen brakes. -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide good points! Thanks. I'm excited to see the next video
It will come out one week from today! -Paul
my god, ppl actually tried building on these hills, look at those staggered homes. Man's hubris
That street is one way because it would be difficult for many cars to climb! -Paul
Yea lots and lots of houses on hills!
The exposed cable for the front motor bugs me.
That was a recent change. It originally ran through the hinge. I saw a recent video where Eloi explained why they moved it, but can't remember what the reason was. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Because of the front suspension we had to put it outside!
There we go! Right from the source! Thank you Eloi!
In case anyone doesn't recognize his handle, Eloi is the man behind the Apollo Go and all Apollo Scooters! -Paul
Wish the range is above 30 miles. For that price, it is bit low.
Check back next week for the full review with the tested range! (it won't be above 30 though). -Paul
👍
Good to see you Ash! Your engagement and encouragement are always appreciated! -Paul
QUad lock is cool - but with someone like myself that aims towards magsafe i'd never use that.
Hey!
Quadlock is compatible with Magsafe, I use it myself!
Also, Magsafe by itself is not strong enough to securely lock the phone in place while riding!
💯‼️💙
Whats up
Hey! How you doing
Great review--thank you!
My previous scooter experience was on rentals, the Lime in particular, but I bought the 2024 Go.
Go is faster & quicker than the 2024 Lime, but the Lime is smoother, more comfortable, and more stable.
The Go wheels are tiny for portability, but it’s a bumpy ride and not very comfortable. The wheels take literally five strokes from the Joe Blow bike pump.
The Go won’t fit in my WRX sedan trunk, unless I leave the trunk open. It’s very tight.
The Go fits in the back seat of my car but it takes the full length of the seat. I’m not sure if the City or Klima would fit on the back seat.
The Go fits easily in our Impreza hatchback, and it could easily hold two
The deck of the Go is a bit cramped and I find myself shifting my feet around frequently on a one hour ride.
The Go climbs small hills well, and large hills slowly. I live in the mountains.
Battery drains quickly for 195 pound rider at mostly full speed, but it lasts a long time at more comfortable speeds.
Dot Matrix display needs trip odometer and clock. Definitely room for improvement on the display. I don’t like it.
Quad phone mount is useful but I don’t like fiddling with my phone.
Excellent production quality & shipping
Unit arrived from Best Buy in two days, perfect shape
Very good help desk response over text & email
Good printed documentation for setup
Decent smart phone app for settings, but could be simplified.
Good assembly video on RUclips.
Easy & exciting setup.
I never want to be a scooter mechanic and Paul @Electric Scooter Review scored the Go 9.2 out of 10 for maintenance. This was a big factor in my purchase.
I like the scooter but wish for longer range and a smoother ride, without sacrificing portability. I want it all!
Now I’m thinking I’d go with electric bikes if I had the choice again.
Thanks for stopping by & the input!
Very pretty but it’s no Unagi Voyageur
Another great scooter. I often wonder why almost no other scooter has a stem that latches down the way the Voyager's does. It's so fast to latch and un-latch. It might be that only a very light scooter can use that type of stem latch. -Paul
Voyager is somehow $1500 with no suspension and solid wheels. It looks sharp but the value isn't there unless you need ultra lightweight.
"it only charges with the sun" try taking it outside??
For three days... in Oakland. We have no security device which would survive that test. :-( -Paul
It looks like with all those scooters, you haven't review them all and just leave them sitting to collect dust.
We’ve reviewed more than 90% of them. We keep them as reference scooters. For example, if I want to know if a scooter has better ride quality than a Boosted Rev, I can ride the Rev and the other scooter back to back. -Paul
Its nice. But its a 36 volt scooter. Its just not for me. At its price point. It is a lot better buys out there.
Thanks for stopping by!
Interesting. Would be nice if it wasn’t so heavy
It's the lightest dual motor full suspension scooter we've tested. -Paul
your neighborhood looks so neglected like the government hasn´t done any road work for 20 years
Yea that’s where are office is!
Must be either San Francisco or Philadelphia. We have much better roads here in Utah.@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
