Comparing Apollo Electric Scooters: Which Apollo Model Is Right for You?
Apollo has one of the most complete electric scooter lineups on the market. The challenge is figuring out which model actually fits your riding style.
A rider looking for a lightweight commuter scooter has very different needs than someone shopping for a high-performance machine capable of handling longer rides, steep hills, and higher speeds.
At ProMech BC, the Apollo models we currently carry include:
This guide compares all five models to help you understand where each scooter fits within the Apollo lineup.

Apollo Go
The Apollo Go 2024 is the smallest and most commuter-focused scooter in Apollo's current lineup.
Despite its compact size, it uses dual 350W motors and delivers noticeably better acceleration than most entry-level commuter scooters. The Airflow suspension system, self-sealing tubeless tires, and IP66 water resistance rating make it a strong option for daily transportation.
What stands out most about the Go is how manageable it feels. It is easier to store, easier to carry, and less intimidating than the larger Apollo models.
Best For:
- Daily commuters
- Apartment dwellers
- Students
- Riders who prioritize portability
Apollo Explore 2.0
The Apollo Explore 2.0 fills the gap between basic commuter scooters and higher-end performance models.
It uses a single motor capable of producing up to 1650W peak power and pairs it with a 48V battery, triple spring suspension, and 10-inch self-healing tubeless tires.
Compared to the Apollo Go, the Explore focuses more on comfort and range than compactness. Riders upgrading from a Segway Ninebot MAX, NIU, or similar commuter scooter will immediately notice the difference in ride quality and hill-climbing performance.
Best For:
- Longer commutes
- Riders upgrading from entry-level scooters
- Comfort-focused riders
- Weekend recreational riding
Apollo City
The Apollo City sits right in the middle of Apollo's lineup and is arguably the easiest model to recommend to the widest range of riders.
It combines dual-motor performance, up to 69 km of range, triple spring suspension, self-healing tires, and a practical commuter-focused design.
Unlike the Phantom models, the City still feels manageable for everyday use. At the same time, it delivers noticeably stronger acceleration and hill-climbing capability than the Go or Explore.
For many riders, the City hits the sweet spot between performance and practicality.
Best For:
- Daily commuting
- Riders dealing with hills
- Frequent riders
- Commuters wanting dual-motor performance
Apollo Phantom 2.0 52V
The Apollo Phantom 2.0 52V marks the transition from commuter scooters into true performance scooters.
With dual 1560W motors, a large 52V battery, 11-inch self-healing tires, dual disc brakes, and a top speed of up to 70 km/h, the Phantom 52V delivers a completely different riding experience than the City or Explore.
Acceleration is significantly stronger, stability improves at higher speeds, and the larger platform feels more planted during aggressive riding.
This is not a scooter most riders buy as their first electric scooter.
Best For:
- Experienced riders
- Performance enthusiasts
- Heavier riders
- Riders tackling steeper terrain
Apollo Phantom Stellar 60V
The Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar 60V is Apollo's flagship model currently available at ProMech BC.
It uses dual 3350W motors, a 60V battery system, DNM adjustable hydraulic suspension, and four-piston hydraulic brakes.
Compared to the Phantom 52V, the Stellar offers more power, more braking performance, and a more advanced suspension package.
The result is a scooter designed for riders who want the most capable Apollo platform available.
Best For:
- Advanced riders
- Long-distance riding
- High-performance riding
- Riders seeking Apollo's flagship model
Apollo Go vs Apollo Explore 2.0
This comparison usually comes down to portability versus comfort.
The Apollo Go is smaller, lighter, and easier to live with on a daily basis. Its dual-motor setup gives it strong acceleration for city riding, while the compact frame makes it ideal for riders with limited storage space.

Apollo City vs Apollo Explore 2.0
These two models appeal to many of the same riders.
The Explore 2.0 offers excellent value and strong performance from its single-motor platform.
The City steps things up with dual-motor performance, higher top speed, longer range, and stronger hill-climbing capability.
If your commute includes hills or you simply want more performance without moving into Phantom territory, the City is the better option.

- Value is your priority
- You do not need dual motors
- You want a comfortable commuter
Choose the City if:
- You ride frequently
- You deal with hills

The Phantom 52V is built around performance. It offers significantly more power, larger tires, stronger brakes, and greater stability at speed.

- Commuting is your main use
- You want practicality
- You do not need extreme performance
Choose the Phantom 52V if:
- Performance is your priority
- You want stronger acceleration
- You want a larger platform

Phantom 52V vs Phantom Stellar 60V
Both Phantom models target experienced riders, but the Stellar pushes performance even further.

The Stellar adds a more powerful 60V platform, dual 3350W motors, adjustable DNM hydraulic suspension, and upgraded four-piston hydraulic brakes.
Choose the Phantom 52V if:
- You want serious performance
