Why it scored a 79
At $849, the Apollo Go is the only dual-motor scooter in this group, pairing two 350W hubs with an IP66 rating and 360-degree lighting. Features lead at 86 and quality at 82, while value trails at 74 and reliability at 77 — the price buys acceleration and sealing rather than range. The caveats are real: about 15 to 20 miles at normal speeds, 9-inch tires that feel busy on rough roads, only 42 Amazon reviews, and reports of throttle and brake lever wear on early units. Its 28 mph exceeds legal limits in many areas, so it suits hill-heavy short commutes.

Should you buy the Apollo Go?
The Apollo Go is for hill-heavy short commutes where a single-motor scooter bogs down. Dual 350W hub motors with 1500W peak climb 25 percent grades with a 175 lb rider and reach 28 mph, in a 46 lb folding frame with IP66 sealing that is better than any Segway here. Realistic range is 15 to 20 miles, so it suits a rider who charges every day, not one doing 25 mile round trips. At $849 it competes directly with the Segway ZT3 Pro, and the choice comes down to hills versus rough ground.
Where it earns its score
- Dual motors in a carry-able package. At 46 lb it is lighter than the MAX G2 and the ZT3 Pro while producing more peak power than either.
- Features scores 86. 360 degree lighting with turn signals, dual regen braking plus rear drum, and an Apollo app with ride tuning and over-the-air updates.
- IP66 water resistance. The best sealing in the category, a full step above the IPX5 and IPX6 Segways.
- Self-healing tubeless tires. The 9 inch tires seal punctures, and front and rear suspension are standard.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 66. Two years limited is longer than Segway offers, but coverage terms keep the score modest.
- Short real range. Apollo claims 30 miles in Eco mode; expect 15 to 20 at normal speeds. Two motors drain the pack quickly.
- Busy ride on rough surfaces. The 9 inch tires and firm suspension transmit more than the 11 inch setups on the ZT3 Pro and MAX G3.
- Reliability scores 77. Early units showed wear concerns, and 28 mph exceeds many local scooter limits.
Our verdict
The Apollo Go scores 79, Fair Buy, ranking sixth in electric scooters. Buy it if steep hills are the problem you are solving and your rides are under 20 miles. The Segway ZT3 Pro (81, $899.00) is the better buy at the same price for rough terrain and longer range.
