A gradient rating is measured with a light rider on dry ground. Loaded, wet, or with a low battery, treat 25° as optimistic.

Manufacturer figures and independent test results are labelled separately so shoppers can distinguish a claim from real-world performance.

Lithium packs lose capacity with age and with cold. A two-year-old battery in February will not do what a new one did in July, and no range figure on any page accounts for that.
Drum brakes are close to maintenance-free and completely unbothered by rain, but they fade on long descents in a way discs do not. On a steep hill, brake in stages instead of dragging them.
IP66 covers rain and road spray. It does not cover immersion — riding through standing water, or pressure-washing the machine, will get water past that seal and into the controller, and no warranty covers it. Wipe it down instead.
29.5 kg is a two-handed lift for most people, not a one-handed one. If it has to go on a bus rack or up stairs daily, come and pick it up in the shop first.
The Apollo City Electric Scooter is built around one clear idea: delivering the comfort and refinement of a premium commuter without giving up the traction and hill-climbing advantages of dual motors. With a 48V battery, triple-spring suspension, self-healing tubeless tires, regenerative braking, and deep Apollo App integration, the City is designed for riders who use their scooter as real everyday transportation.
For Vancouver riders dealing with hills, rough pavement, longer commutes, and changing weather, the Apollo City offers a particularly well-rounded balance between performance and practicality.
The Apollo City uses dual 500W nominal motors, with each motor capable of up to 1000W peak output.
Apollo rates the City for speeds of up to 51 km/h and inclines of up to 25°, making the dual-motor drivetrain especially useful for hilly routes and stronger acceleration from lower speeds.
Three main riding modes allow the scooter to adapt to different situations: Eco prioritizes efficiency, Normal provides a more relaxed everyday pace, and Sport unlocks the City’s full performance.
A 48V 20Ah battery built with high-capacity 21700 lithium cells gives the Apollo City substantial range for a commuter scooter.
Apollo rates the City for up to 69 km in Eco mode, with expected range decreasing as riding speed increases. Charging takes approximately 4.5 hours with the supplied charger.
As always, real-world range depends on rider weight, speed, hills, temperature, tire pressure, wind, and acceleration. For commuters, the important advantage is having enough battery capacity to complete longer urban trips without constantly planning around the next charge.
Ride quality is one of the Apollo City’s strongest characteristics.
The scooter combines triple-spring suspension with 10-inch pneumatic tires, helping absorb cracked pavement, road joints, small potholes, and other common imperfections found on city streets.
With approximately 5 inches of deck clearance and a spacious riding platform, the City feels more substantial and composed than smaller last-mile scooters while remaining firmly focused on urban riding rather than extreme off-road use.
The City’s 10-inch tubeless tires use Apollo’s PunctureGuard self-healing technology.
The tires retain the cushioning and traction advantages of pneumatic construction while helping seal many common small punctures automatically. For riders commuting regularly, this is a practical feature rather than just a specification—it reduces one of the most common sources of unexpected scooter downtime.
The Apollo City combines front and rear drum brakes with Apollo’s Power RBS regenerative braking system.
Drum brakes are enclosed and require relatively little routine maintenance compared with exposed disc systems. During normal riding, the dedicated regenerative brake control can handle much of the everyday deceleration while recovering energy and reducing wear on the mechanical brakes.
The combination suits the City’s commuter-focused personality: predictable braking with an emphasis on durability and lower maintenance.
The Apollo App is available for both iOS and Android and gives City riders considerably more control over their scooter.
Through the app, riders can customize supported ride settings, view estimated range and ride information, and access scooter security controls.
This connected layer is especially useful because it lets riders tune the scooter around their preferences rather than being limited to fixed factory settings.
Apollo equips the City with a 500-lumen front headlight, rear brake lighting, and integrated handlebar turn signals, creating better visibility and clearer signalling during everyday urban riding.
The scooter also carries an IP66 water-resistance rating, which is a meaningful advantage for a commuter likely to encounter wet roads and unpredictable weather.
Both the scooter and battery systems carry UL 2272 and UL 2271 certifications.
The 2024 Apollo City also received several less obvious refinements based on rider feedback.
Apollo strengthened the direction stopper to better protect steering components during significant impacts, revised the throttle and brake angles for improved ergonomics, upgraded motor casings for better cooling and easier valve access, and introduced updated bearings designed to reduce friction and improve durability.
These are not headline features like speed or range, but they matter to riders planning to keep and use their scooter regularly.
The Apollo Go and City are both premium commuters, but they target slightly different priorities.
The Go is significantly lighter and easier to manage, making it attractive to riders who regularly carry or store their scooter in tight spaces. The City steps up to dual 500W motors, a larger 48V 20Ah battery, triple-spring suspension, and up to 69 km of rated range, giving it the advantage for longer journeys, stronger acceleration, and more demanding hills.
For riders who prioritize portability, the Go may be the smarter choice. For riders who spend more time actually riding and value additional range, comfort, and power, the City is the more capable platform.
The Apollo City is best suited to riders who want a premium commuter rather than an extreme performance scooter.
Its combination of dual motors, suspension, self-healing tires, regenerative braking, smart app integration, useful range, and weather resistance makes it especially suitable for frequent commuters, longer urban trips, and riders dealing with hilly routes.
At approximately 65 lb (29.5 kg), it is still manageable compared with many high-performance scooters, but riders carrying their scooter up several flights of stairs every day should consider whether a lighter model would be more practical.
The City supports riders up to 265 lb (120 kg).
Choosing an Apollo scooter in Vancouver also comes with an important local ownership advantage. ProMechBC is officially featured by Apollo as an Apollo Certified Shop and is listed in Apollo’s official service-location network.
Apollo’s Certified Shop program provides partner shops with Apollo-specific training, access to genuine parts, technical support, and resources for servicing Apollo scooters.
For riders looking for an Apollo City Electric Scooter in Vancouver, that means the City’s strong dual-motor performance, long-range commuting capability, smart technology, and comfortable ride are backed by convenient local Apollo-certified service and support at ProMechBC.

The rules in plain language, before you buy rather than after.
Mandatory for every rider in BC, at any age.
A white front light and a red rear light and reflector, both fitted as standard here.
Not required within the provincial e-scooter pilot limits.
Raising the speed or power limit takes it outside the pilot, and voids the warranty.

I drove all the way from Seattle to bring my daughter's scooter to ProMechBC and I could not be more pleased with both the repairs and the customer service. I will definitely be bringing the scooter North of the border when it needs some love.
Recently had an accident with my Apollo Go — luckily nothing major was damaged, but it still needed some repair and replacement parts. Service was great, and I got my scooter back within a week. :D
The service was incredibly fast, professional and efficient — they fixed my scooter wheel quickly and the quality of the repair was outstanding. Honest, reliable, professional and fast.
