Apollo Go

What the Apollo Go is built for

The Apollo Go is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a 750 W (1,500 W peak) motor and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 540 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 36 miles (58 km) on a charge.

The Apollo Go weighs 49 lb (22.2 kg), carries up to 265 lb (120 kg) including the rider, has full suspension and is rated IP66 against water.

In the United States the Apollo Go sells for $749, above the median of $530 across 163 electric scooters with a US price, among the premium models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Apollo Go may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the Apollo Go's top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

Apollo Go safety certification

The brand states that the Apollo Go is certified to EN 17128, UL 2271 and UL 2272.

EN 17128 is the European standard for personal light electric vehicles such as electric scooters.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

UL 2272 is the US safety standard for the electrical system of personal e-mobility devices such as electric scooters.

New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there.
