Apollo Go Electric Scooter represents the future of urban commuting, blending power, comfort, and durability into an innovative package. With its dual motors, pneumatic tires, and high water resistance rating, Apollo Go promises a ride that's not just about getting from A to B, but enjoying every part of the journey.

There is also one feature that we have never seen before on an electric scooter.

In this review, we unbox, set up, walkthrough, and tell you what we love and hate about the Apollo Go. We will also let you know who should buy the Apollo go.

Disclosure: We were not paid to do this review, but Apollo sent us the Go to test and review. Purchases made through our affiliate links may offer a commission that goes towards supporting this channel and our websites.

Been really digging the stuff Apollo has been putting out lately, great review as always!

[raylivengood]

Very comprehensive review guys. I enjoy listening to all of your thoughtful & collaborative insights.

Let's be honest, Andrew occasionally rides with one hand because there are a lot of fans out there and it would be rude not to wave back

[StayConnectedEV]

Best content for scooters! Keep up the great works guys!

Great review Andrew and Jimmy! I will likely pick one of these up eventually for my wife's San Francisco commuting. She loves her E-Twow GT but I want her to have something that has greater IPX rating and pneumatic tires for better wet weather grip. She is fine on the E-Twow GT (even in the rain). The GT can also hit 25MPH and is much lighter. She has to transport the scooter up and down stairs and there is a big difference between 28lbs. and the nearly 50lbs of the Go. The self-sealing tires of the Go look great and I like the everything about it except for the non-folding handlebars. It won't fit in the storage areas on a train or my tall locker at the gym. Regardless, I still want to get a Go for her eventually as her rain commute scooter but I need her GT to stop working which is very unlikely. She has well over 5000 miles on it and it still going strong. I have just had to change the tires out, replace the drum brake pads and replace the brake cable wires when needed.

I think Apolla makes good scooters, but honestly this is the first time I think they finally hit the nail on the head, within its segment they got this one the most right pricing, they didn't waste money on a disc brake where it wasn't needed, allowing them to offer it at a cheaper price, front suspension, above average range for its segment, above average ride quality for its segment, they picked the right place to splurge by adding the self-healing maintenance scooter, good ride quality, good range for its segment, I think this will be their sales leader within their line-up.

This is going to be my first e-scooter. Looking forward to delivery.

Great review guys and it seems that this scooter got alot of attention to detail for quality control. I have seen alot of complaints before of some of their other scooters but this one got some more tlc. Take care guys.

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 YouTube.
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.

man i wish they had them quick disconnects on the phantom, its a pain to change tires with the motor attached.

[quarantinegamer]

Any chance that you guys could review the Apollo Phantom?

[MrYepz]

Single braking system is a deal-braker, pun intended....the regen braking is nice, but if a truck blows a red light, and I need to stop, yesterday and it doesn't, the next option is jumping off, how wouldn't I be killed or seriously injured?....Lack of stopping power can mean death, I love the scooter, looks great, but I'd feel like i wouldn't have full control, not if you can't stop quick, these are dangerous toys to begin with, and 1 brake...is just stupid, charge another 200 dollars and put proper brakes on the thing, and also include the regen!

[zpacleb]

I felt it in my soul when you purposely let it fall 😂

[Dubsteppah]

Apollo is so awesome I love their rides!! Highly recommend the Go. Possibly the best built scoot on Amazon.

[Suzubagamez]

I think your wrong about the regen breaking. I just bought mine recently and it works better than the drum breaks. The cool part about the regen break is the easy convenience of where the paddle placement is for regen. I don't ever see myself using the regular breaks. Plus you have a wide range of stopping distance within the app

[jimmcmillan]

How is it compared to the new city pro .cheers

[Dannycky]

Will you be doing a review on the Apollo Pro?

[zztop]

How do you compare this to upcoming Taur 2?

[juanleezy]

can i still get the speed and range with my 210 lbs weight? and importantly can i still jump off of curbs and bunny hop as well without damaging the suspension? this may be my first scooter!

[joseluisruiz]

Very cool! Im so glad you guys are reviewing it. Im buying one for my 12 year old son for his 13th birthday by July, so any info i can get from you guys would be great. Im rocking an Inmotion RS, Segway GT1, and a Segway MAX G2. I can't wait to get this for my boy, more bonding time for me.
