Ranked #2 in Best Electric Scooters
Apollo Go
$849as of May 27

The Apollo Go delivers exceptional dual-motor performance in a lightweight 49-pound package, making it ideal for demanding commutes. ERideHero praised its strong acceleration and hill-climbing ability, while the full suspension and low-maintenance design add to its appeal. However, some reviewers noted that the folding mechanism could be more streamlined and that performance declines at low battery. This scooter is best suited for commuters seeking high performance without excessive weight, though those wanting maximum range might look elsewhere.

Strengths
  • Super strong dual motor acceleration
  • Climbs steep inclines with ease
  • Very comfortable full suspension
Watch-outs
  • Folding mechanism could be more streamlined
  • Performance drops at low battery due to 36V battery

Segway Ninebot E3 Pro
$300as of May 27

The Segway Ninebot E3 Pro offers excellent value as a budget-friendly commuter scooter with modern features like elastomer suspension, customizable lighting, and integrated turn signals. Reviewed by EV News and a tech-focused site, it's praised for its portability and refined ride quality despite lacking a maximum speed limit. The scooter is lightweight and folds easily, but users note the battery range is modest. It's ideal for daily commuters and new riders but may not suit those needing extended range or speed control.

Strengths
  • Lightweight at 40 pounds, making it portable and easy to carry
  • Elastomer suspension in both front and rear for smoother ride comfort
  • Customizable 256-color underdeck lighting with speed-responsive patterns
Watch-outs
  • No maximum speed limit setting, which can lead to unintentional speeding
  • Battery range limited to 34 miles under ideal conditions

How they stack up

Apollo Go

The Apollo Go stands out with its full suspension and dual motor acceleration, which the GOTRAX G3 PLUS and Segway Ninebot Max G30LP lack. While the Inmotion Climber offers more range, the Apollo Go provides a smoother ride and better hill-climbing performance, though it suffers from a less streamlined folding mechanism compared to the Segway Ninebot E3 Pro.

Segway Ninebot E3 Pro

The Segway Ninebot E3 Pro is the lightest and most portable of the group, outperforming the Apollo Go and NIU KQi 300X in this regard. However, it lacks the hill-climbing strength of the GOTRAX G3 PLUS and Inmotion Climber, and its braking system is less robust than the NIU KQi 300X, making it ideal for portability but not maximum performance.
