Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Electric Scooters

Apollo Go

4.4

$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 KickScooter Max G30LP

Ranked #6 in Best Electric Scooters

Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max G30LP

3.9

$699

The Segway Ninebot Max G30LP offers solid construction and reliable performance in a well-built electric scooter. Reviewers noted its excellent build quality and impressive braking capabilities, with a 10.8-foot stopping distance at 15 mph. However, the stiff ride without shocks and kick-to-start mechanism were common complaints. The scooter delivers 13.6 miles range in real-world testing, slightly less than the original Max model's 21.6 miles. It's best suited for commuters seeking a durable, mid-range scooter rather than those wanting a lightweight or ultra-portable option.

Strengths

— Excellent construction with all-metal body
— Solid reliability and confidence-inspiring braking system
— Good braking distance of 10.8 feet at 15 mph

Watch-outs

— Stiff ride quality without shocks
— Kick-to-start mechanism required for motor engagement

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 KickScooter Max G30LP

The Segway Ninebot Max G30LP offers superior build quality and braking compared to the Apollo Go and Nami Klima, but lacks suspension and has a stiff ride. Unlike the NIU KQi 300X, it doesn't feature dual disc brakes, and its range is less than the Inmotion Climber, making it a reliable but basic option.
