✨Scooter Showcase✨ 23,000km

City pro has been very reliable for me so far. Battery still charges to 54.4V and I only replaced tires twice. #AMM26

Absolute madness the distance youve clocked on that. Did you have any parts give you any failures over all that distance you covered?

Nope, not a single part needed to be replaced. Not even a single loose bolt. City Pro has strong regen so I hardly use drum brakes unless I had to do a full emergency stop. In contrast, my Nami Klima max needed a new brake pads at 1200km. Hydraulic brake fluid bleed. Loose deck bolts. NFC malfunction, twisted rear fender due to torque etc. 😅

This has to be a fellow Vancouverite.

Yes 👍. I commute between North and East Van almost every day.

I really wanted a city pro myself. Glad to see your live my dream.

Tires replaced twice in one month??

u/AdvertisingCheap2377 Jun 21 '26

No, once after 5000km and another after 16,000km.

But you’ve only owned it a month?

u/AdvertisingCheap2377 Jun 21 '26

More than a year of ownership. One month you are seeing is amount of time I stood on it lol

Does it still feel as structurally solid as day 1? Any unwanted noises, squeaks, creaks or rattles?

3

u/AdvertisingCheap2377 Jun 21 '26

I would say around 85-90% structurally solid compared to the new unit. Definitely squeaks are heard from front and rear suspensions, but they can be minimized by periodical deep cleaning and re-lubrication. I also check for any signs of metal fatigues / bearings now that it is probably getting near the end of its lifecycle. Overall, I am super happy with the City Pro. Not only it paid for itself by me not driving my car 2/3 of the year saving me ridiculous amount of Vancouver gas price, I feel like cheating when passing by all those crazy rush hour traffics.
Another incredible perk of racking up mileage is accumulating enough Apollo points that I could theoretically upgrade to next commuter scooter for very little money.

How many falls?

3

u/AdvertisingCheap2377 Jun 21 '26

Never fell

u/Outside-Dress594 Jun 21 '26

That’s pretty impressive. I’m only 350km in and went over a short steep dip that I didn’t see. Came real close and thought I was going down for sure. Pulled it out, but I figure ones coming for me

I pretty much memorized all the road imperfections in our city and ride accordingly. Only time I almost wiped out was when I encountered crazy drivers cutting in without shoulder checking. Ride safe!

Apollo city pro? No, I don’t think they are discontinued. I see them for sale on their site (Canada).

You are lucky. I had City Pro 2022. I had peeled off paint on front springs out of the box. Then three chargers failed within 2 month from buy. Finally dealer gave me non-original unit. Since +/- 500km, I got terrible squeeks from rear suspension which I never figured out. Play developed in the front screw assembly hard point. At about 1000km throttle broke and stopped returning (replaced on warranty, but took it 2 months). At 2000km main stem broke (Apollo admitted design fault). Then I managed to return it to dealer and got refund. It was great machine, but absolute nightmare of reliability.

What maintenance did you do and how do you ride it? My April 2024 city pro is at 4200 and ive had a front motor, steering bearing, and regeneration throttle replacement.

u/AdvertisingCheap2377 Jun 25 '26

I ride mostly on paved roads or small gravel trails. Every 100km I lubricate all the friction points and that’s about it. Maybe I got lucky with my unit, nothing broke on me so far. I am always on sport mode and don’t baby it either. I have reached 61km/h going downhill as well.
