🚀 Apollo Go Maiden Voyage: First Ride Impressions!

Hey, scooter fans! I took the Apollo Go for a spin today and can't wait to share my first impressions, some surprising moments, and an unplanned crash test. Let's dive in!

First Impressions: A Commuter’s Dream

I grabbed the Apollo Go as a lightweight option for my commute, and it's perfect for zipping around the city. The suspension is super smooth for a scooter this size—it glides over bumps, offering a stable and comfy ride. At first, I was unsure about the narrow handlebars, but they're actually pretty nimble, making tight turns and dodging obstacles a breeze.

A Surprising Fall, and How the Scooter Held Up

Yep, had a little tumble. Testing the brakes on a downhill was my rookie move, but surprisingly, the Apollo Go survived with just a bit of wear. The brake didn't stop me as fast as I thought it would, but now I know how to adjust. Thankfully, the scooter stayed strong—props to Apollo for durability!

Features That Make the Ride

This little ride has some cool features. Cruise control? You bet. It's perfect for keeping a steady speed on longer rides, saving your thumb from holding the throttle. The lighting is top-notch too, lighting the way and making sure you’re visible—great for night commutes or just a chill sunset ride.

One minor downside? Charging could be faster. It takes around 7 hours to fully charge, so I’ll have to plan my longer rides. But the battery percentage and range estimation make it easy to track how much juice is left for the ride.

Performance in a Nutshell

The Apollo Go has some good zip—25 mph, no problem! It’s not a heavy-duty beast, but it’s got more than enough kick for city commutes and weekend rides. Hills? It handled them better than expected, even at less than half battery. Not super fast, but it gets the job done in “comfort” mode, and I’m impressed with how it handles inclines with ease.

Is the Apollo Go Right for You?

If you’re after a reliable, nimble city commuter, the Apollo Go is a solid choice. The ride is smooth, comfy, and perfect for quick trips around town. With its light and nimble frame, it's easy to handle and fits right in on sidewalks or bike lanes. It’s portable too, making it easy to bring inside or up to the office, and it’s less bulky than other scooters in its class.

Final Thoughts? Definitely a great investment for everyday commuting or quick errands. It might look small, but it's packed with quality and practicality for city life. Just a few tweaks in braking and charging, and it’d be close to perfect. Happy to have it in my fleet—until next time, ride safe and keep exploring!
