The Best Commuter Scooter You Shouldn't Buy...YET

The Apollo City Pro is a fantastic scooter though there are a few reason I would not recommend it to everyone, yet. I do love the speed, dual motors and suspension though.

The Best Commuter Scooter You Shouldn't Buy...YET

Great honest review. Honest reviews are what’s missing from the PEV community. Great job.

I really don't comment on YouTube videos but this is the best honest review I've ever seen so far. Thanks

Southern California rider here, from Los Angeles. I have racked up 745 miles on my Apollo City Pro. I am 6 foot, about 220 pounds and I have really been impressed commuting with this scooter! It is a beast; the power and performance are top notch. The range/battery life is fairly decent, I ride WOT a lot and have my acceleration maxed in the app and can achieve 20+ mile range. The Regen brake is fantastic, and I use it 95% of the time, even fresh off a full charge with no problems whatsoever. The only time I use the drum brakes is for emergency braking.

Now THIS is what a review should be like!! Freaking awesome Nic!! Great work on compiling all that info together. I'm still on the fence between the this City pro and Emove Cruiser but now have a much better viewpoint on Apollo. Many many thanks :)

I’m not particularly into scooters, although I consider buying one from time to time, but I want to appreciate how professional this video is looking for the channel with under 300 subscribers

This was a wonderful review. everything i could find prior was nothing more than initial impressions, when what i wanted was a more long term review. I really appreciate how thorough your critique is.

I almost bought this over the Ghost because of the puncture resitant tires. I was afraid of low range, but you appear to get good range. However, I am on pause with this. My E-TWOW is still kicking with almost zero maintenance after 6 years and I think I will run it in the ground before going with this. The range and speed of the Apollo options are what I prefer, but the maintenance and weight and carry ability seems to be a caveat. Thank you for the great honesty in this video. I was almost going to pull the trigger because of yet another 'sale' with the countdown clock.

My experience with Apollo was great, I have the explorer 21. I had problems water getting in the scooter, I got it fix at Apollo service center in NY, they cover that part I only had to pay the labor part, which it was 25 dollar, they adjusted my break, and seal on the scooter even the ppl at Apollo service center was friendly and nice.

This is definitely an honest review not only on the scooter but also the company's marketing Strategy.

We need more Nic Laporte style reviews online. Way too many reviewers only review a demo sent by the manufacturer for a short time. Not many want to stick their necks out to say the negatives.

That may be the best scooter review I’ve seen yet, nice work!

[thereindeertherabbitthebat]

Wow... This is all very good info to know ahead of time. Can never have enough reviews for things like electric scooters. Thanks for sharing your experiences 👍

(That "battery sag" thing seems to be a commonality among all electric scooters. I think it's just the nature of the beast when you're dealing with these types of batteries.)

[EpicPlayer]

This is the best review I have EVER come across. I’d love the same exact honest review of the NIU KQI3 Max

[arnebuchner]

The best review of an e-scooter I've seen so far. Please continue in this way - just great.

[The]

This is the most honest review I saw on YouTube for a while, thank you

[pmjuliff]

Thanks for your very balanced review, really appreciated your honest opinion. I have bought one but will keep an eye open for the quirks and issues you have identified. Cheers!

[PinnaclePete]

Excellent, candid review! Most helpful to someone like me just getting interested in e-scooters and considering my first purchase. This scooter checks most of the boxes for me except it doesn't have an easily removable battery in the deck like the AnyHill UM-2. I would have to lug this scooter up and down quite a few steps every time it needed charging and my body nor my landlord wouldn't particularly like that.

I'm just glad I live in Queens, NYC. I live not to far from their warehouse in Brooklyn, so service isn't too bad for me.

The best review I have seen on the Apollo City Pro!

[MrLessyam]

Thanks Nic, by far the most informative (the good and the bad) video on this particular scooter to date. Cant wait to ride mine in Rainncouver as well ;).
