Having ridden Apollo Air for over a week now, each excursion reaffirmed my belief that practicality can coexist with pleasure when it comes to e-scooters. Sure there are areas ripe for improvement – like enhancing hill-climbing capabilities – but they're far outweighed by the sheer joy it brings to everyday travel.

Apollo Air has managed to capture the essence of urban commuting and casual fun with a zesty twist. Geared towards young professionals and students, this electric scooter hits a sweet spot for those needing a reliable, compact mode of transportation that's not just about getting from point A to B, but enjoying the journey too.
Right out of the box, Apollo Air's design speaks volumes about its functionality. With a robust frame that gives a sense of durability, this scooter is ready for the daily grind. Its pneumatic tires complement an already sleek look, making the ride smooth and turning heads as you glide through city streets. Handles are comfortable to grip, essential for longer journeys, and when folded down, this scooter becomes conveniently portable despite its 16 kg weight.
Commutes transform into joyrides with Apollo Air's seamless blend of speed and agility. Zipping through traffic at a top speed of 24 kph feels exhilarating yet controlled, thanks to responsive acceleration. Uphill rides test its limits slightly; it's clear that steep inclines aren't Apollo Air's forte. Braking is another highlight - smooth and reliable even during unexpected stops.
Despite its modest 250w motor, this e-scooter punches above its weight class in flat environments. It's not a powerhouse for hill climbs, but it holds its own on moderate slopes. The battery life impressively matches up with the specs provided, serving well through multiple short trips or a day's worth of adventure without faltering.
Those pneumatic wheels truly elevate the experience – they absorb most road vibrations like a sponge. Combined with the disc brake system, stopping is as secure as it gets, instilling confidence in any rider.
Navigating through crowded spaces feels intuitive with Apollo Air's nimble handling. Even when darting around unpredictably paced pedestrians or dodging wayward pigeons, control remains uncompromised.
Simple upkeep tasks like tire pressure checks were straightforward, fostering an almost therapeutic bond between me and my ride. When faced with minor issues, Apollo's support was responsive and helpful; though I found myself resorting to a bit of DIY now and then due to part availability being spotty at times.
Little conveniences like integrated lights add layers of practicality to each journey. For those evening cruises or early morning commutes, these features aren't just about flair but safety as well.
For me, Apollo Air deserves an 8/10. It excels in urban usability and overall reliability while providing enough excitement for leisure rides.
