Apollo - Go

you mean SLOWmotion lol.....in 2 and a half months i have YET to get their 47lb dual motor 1500w peak power SLOWmotion climber to even touch 22mph and that's WITH me going downhill on a full charge and i weigh ~140 smh.....solid scooter to be honest but hopefully my 41mph ausom leopard dt1 pro arrives today (12/20/24). the SLOWmotion climber is gonna be sold or back burnered or used when i'm NOT in a rush and i DON'T have to travel a longer distance.

Like everyone else has mentioned, those theoretical range numbers are almost impossible to achieve in the real world. I have a 2024 Apollo Go, the range they claim is 20 to 30 miles. I weigh 210 and live in an area that has various size hills. I took mine out for a realistic thrashing (max acceleration, cruising at 25mph) and was able to get 13 miles before hitting 20% battery. If you're commuting 15 miles one way, I'd suggest an E bike that is far more comfortable and has the ability to carry larger batteries. There are E bikes that can make those distances, but they're going to cost.

I would agree with Apollo being B-Tier prior to their release of the Apollo Go/Pro. Those UL certified scooters are a significant leap in quality compared to the rest of their lineup and I haven't had any issues with the Go now in over 500KM of riding. The pure electric braking combined with the incredibly strong frame is great / issue free so far. Focused solely on their newer releases, Apollo to me is an A-tier, upcoming S-tier brand, especially when factoring in their local support / physical locations. I admire that they produce their own designs now that are UL certified rather than copying the latest chinesium from Aliexpress like most of the smaller brands. I also own a Ninebot Max, a Ninebot Max G2, and an Apollo City Pro 2022. I prefer the Apollo Go in almost every way compared to the G2; it feels substantially better made. GOAT scooter still though is the Ninebot Max. Its just so fucking well designed and rock solidly built due to how simple it is. Perfect last mile commuter, but not really a 'going on a ride for fun' scooter.
