When to get the EMove Cruiser S?

While both of these are great scooters, I would recommend the EMove Cruiser for most people in most circumstances.

It is a bit more expensive, sure, but I think the extra few hundred dollars are well worth the extra performance and the top-notch features.

When to get the Apollo City?

The Apollo City has a tough job competing with one of the best, most versatile scooters ever. I think it’s only winning use case is budget, and of course portability.
