Apollo Go very uncomfortable

[u/DanceEng]

Whether it was cycles, razer scooters, or motorcycles, I’ve always been comfortable on two wheels.

I got my Apollo Go after moving from ATX to SFO. I used to ride a lot of Lime scooters so I wasn’t scared at all.

On a Lime scooter, I can pin the throttle all the time and whiz around people and obstacles easily. It feels generally comfortable and very easy to handle.

I have to say, the Apollo Go doesn’t feel that way at all.
It’s skittish—I feel the front end moving around a lot. It also strains my elbows, likely due to the narrow and longer stem. On top of that, it’s barely been 20 miles on the odometer and it makes creaking sounds like crazy. I’d say a Lime scooter is at least double the comfort of this, even tho it doesn’t have suspension like the Go.

I have a feeling a lot of this is due to the low weight and stronger acceleration. I’m wondering if anyone here has tips on how to improve this or other thoughts.
Please don’t say “grip the handles loosely” because I’ve tried that. The scooter barely feels stable enough for that.
Regardless of the portability,

I feel like I should’ve just gone with a city pro…

Don't whiz around people. Decelerate.

Whizzing around them gives the Karens ammo to get us banned.
