P.S. I like your longer video format as well. You really beat ESG (Ride Guide) reviews, all the way around. You're just more thorough.

Also, in addition to my comment below I must admit this is one of the best reviews I have seen. Especially at the end when your summarized everything and gave alternate purchase options. Great job for sure!!!

I can go up ANY grade fast with my dual motor but Iam only 130 lbs haha! I put 30 miles a day on my Apollo Go 2024 dual motor EVERY single day. I dropped it on its handle because of bad design kickstand and severed 2 throttle wires in handle assembly. AMAZING amount of PRO tutorials on Apollo channel. Found the handle disassembly tutorial then I found 2 severed throttle wires. I soldered and Iam back on road. This is a dream to ride every single day. It is my commute life now and I look forward to being on it daily!!!

Great review. So much to like about the GO but there are some things pointed out well in your review they need to consider for version 2. We have seen as bright but protected handlebar turn signals from Segway and Pure and various others, the tail lights and head lamp on this should be aiming to be as bright as that amazing stem light as again there are better ones on other scooters, And the Niu scooter mechanism for latching stem to deck is by far the best though it does only work that well by virtue of the stem only being as long as the deck. It’s amazing how far we have come from the xiaomi m365 to scooters like this though so may the innovation long continue! I hope we see that display, stem light, and kick plate turn signal design make its way to the air and city in their next iterations. I love how Apollo goes for ip66 across their line up too. Will you be reviewing the Segway Gmax 2?

Great review--thank you! My previous scooter experience was on rentals, the Lime in particular, but I bought the 2024 Apollo 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 might go with electric bikes if I had the choice again.

Despite all its niceties, the main issue with this scooter is the lack of overall versatility due to limited range. With reviewers seeing 14 - 19 miles max, with at least one reviewer cruising at 20mph until it would no longer sustain, which is fairly unimpressive. Apollo used 30 x 21700 cells in 10 series, 3 parallel. Had they simply gone with 40 cells in 10 Series 4 Parallel, it would have transformed this scooter into one of the most versatile units in scooter history while not giving up any of it's other fantastic attributes. Adding 10 cells would add less than 2lbs to this unit, even factoring in a slightly deeper battery tub. I wish they'd make a "max" version with 40 cells and 2-3" wider handlebars so that there was room to add an accessory or two... lights, bell, etc. I love everything else about the this scooter but the range is an issue compared to its competitors from Niu, Segway, VMAX and others.
@oklahomascootin
Good to see u again brother and very cool small scoot easy to take anywhere
@mikehagquist5198
I happy with the go. I wish it did 28 mph not 25. No load it goes 25 maybe 26 for a flash.
@rmcalinden
Super thorough! Thank you!
@Tzartle_The_Kaiju
Hey man what are the gloves ya got on because Im trying to find a good pair!
@leightonthomas385
Awesome review as always, still can't decide between the go and city pro as they both have there pros and cons but sure I will figure it out 😂
@kimaxlv92
what helmer are you using? what helmet can you recommend? i love with style
@berengerchristy6256
10:54 Anyone know what gloves he uses?
@billycrowe4501
I’m between this and the cruiser S. Mostly city and beach town riding would like aesthetics but also buy once cry once. Good ride experience is important as well as some good acceleration firepower. Would be putting in my car frequently
@Muttley69-t2l
What would be, btr, Apollo go or the Pure air 3 pro? Bare in mind the air 3 is just over £300 now a hell of a saving.
@onlygod5667
The go 2024 is badass!!!!
@abrahamguitar
Love the black helmet. What's the brand/model?
@fergusobrien7963
Great review as always. Overall, there isn't a better scooter in this category anywhere. It's right in the sweet spot but there is one problem -- the range is indeed weak -- 20 miles at best on a full charge in gear 2. To reach 44 miles you would have to crawl along.
@Patriot36
Yes, considering the common use and availability of white / clear silicone rubber, the handlebar caps on this model are simply ridiculous. I like everything about this scooter, I just which the range was a little bit better. A 20% range improvement would make all the difference for me. I would love a "Max" version with slightly longer range, true 28mph speed and 2" wider bars. Heck, I'd by two of them! It would be the perfect travel / road trip scooter with those improvements.
