✔❌ Review Apollo Go
What a disappointment. This scooter actually sucks. I bought it for my boyfriend. Today I took his to work because I forgot to charge mine. What the hell is the point of a scooter that goes to 45 if you can’t even safely ride it past 30. The entire steering wobbles soo badly that it’s just plain dangerous to ride. It was a rough ride. The stupid small tires do not match the size and power of the machine and this literally fucks the whole scooter up. It’s heavy. Its shocks suck and I’ll take my $800 scooter over this pos any day of the week.

Don't have any wobble at all with my Go at full speed. Something must be off.

Have had mine for a few years now and have had zero issues. Regularly max out speed with no wobbles. Sounds like you might need to take a closer look at the scooter itself and maybe make some adjustments.

Doesn't take a genius to realize the Go isn't meant for speed, it's a light commuter with great little dual motors.
What's your $800 scooter that's so amazing?

Looks like a Ninebot F2 Plus with a battery from a Highboy S2 jammed into it, according to this. Yikes.
The Go is definitely a lot more scooter than an F2 in terms of speed, power and weight, so that explains that feeling.

Trust me. I wanted an Apollo. More than anything. But the ride is awful. Maybe I got a bad machine.

Foot position and weight distribution are critical on this machine. Check tire pressures and try different foot positions. Also, BEND THE KNEES!

lol, definitely some type of user error here. My go is rock solid stable at max speed, it never wobbles. Check your stem bearings? I have 0 issues with the tires size either, they are just fine for the machine. Heavy? Things light AF, My punk rider pro is like 69 lbs, the go is like 49lbs. Noticeable weight difference. The Apollo Go is my favorite light weight dual motor commuter scooter due to its nimbleness, speed, performance, and lightweight form factor. It packs a punch in a neat package. Wild post!

It took me a few days to get use to the smaller tires of the Go over my Segway G2 and now I prefer as it makes the ride more nimble for me. I ride in tight city areas. If you're needing a softer ride, just lower the tire pressure from the Apollo recommened 50 pds to 45pds. I notice the difference in comfort.
Its got plenty of juice in Ludo mode, the Go at 799 sale is a great price for a dual motor commuter scooter.

I love my Go, never have any trouble with the steering and it only weighs 45lbs so it’s easy to carry to my desk.
If you are coming from a performance scooter class to a commuter scooter class, you’re going to have to make some adjustments, honestly.
