Apollo City Pro

The Apollo City Pro electric scooterfits tall riders well. With a deck-to-handlebar height of 42 inches, they’re the second tallest bars ever, after the NAMI BURN-E. So riders from 5 ft tall to well over 6 ft tall will feel right at home.

With the specified maximum rider weight being 265 lbs, this is exceptionally strong and well-sprung. Our resident Big Dawg, Ramier had no trouble jumping curbs and carving corners on the Apollo City Pro Electric scooter. Our impression is that the City Pro will handle well for heavier riders, but with a tad reduced range.

Build Quality

When Apollo launched the Phantom in 2021, they set a new standard for having everything you need in one complete package, including excellent ergonomics, a high-mounted headlight, and the most full-featured display we’d ever seen. Now, a full year after releasing their first all-original scooter, they’ve gone even further with the City Pro’s super clean integrated design and attention to detail.

Now in 2022, Apollo is ambitiously pursuing a next-step company evolution with the Apollo City, a design-first, highly-integrated, and painstakingly custom-built scooter. With sleek lines, very little exposed, and a fresh paint color, this is a scooter that will stand out.

It has the first 10 inch tubeless tires we’ve seen ever seen, and they claim to be “flatproof”  So of course, we tested that too. Stick around to the end to see how it turned out.

Quick Breakdown of New Apollo City Pro Features:

• Turn signals within reach of each thumb. They beep and self cancel, so you don’t accidentally leave them on. 
• The included App tells you how many miles of range you have remaining. We tested it and it really works!
• You can also use the app to dial in the intensity of control of acceleration and braking
• The Optional phone mount is pricey at fifty bucks, but it’t well made and fits the unusual handlebar shape
• The fenders are really solid, and look great, though front coverage could be improved
• A 3A charger, that takes you from empty to full in just 4.5 hours (we tested it)
• The side stand is easy to use
• And the charge port is easier to use than the typical three-prong type
• Plus, the port seals itself when you’re not using it.
• And it was one of the easiest scooters to set up right out of the box.
• Just one plug, two screws, and we were ready to go on the setup.

It’s also surprising that a scooter of its size and capability has such a conservative specified maximum rider weight, at 265 lbs.

Lesser scooters regularly push the 300 lb mark. 

We don’t usually recommend going beyond the manufacturer’s recommended weight limit, but this is a scooter where I do not see the downside to going to 300 lbs, especially if you can use stiffer suspension cartridges than stock.
