If your budget is around $1000, and you are simply looking for the best scooter $1000 can buy, then I would almost instantly recommend this scooter, both as your first scooter and as an upgrade to your previous budget model. Its level of quality is just brilliant. The only type of scooterist that should strongly consider a different model is someone looking for a super-fast scooter, a scooter with a very long range, or an off-road scooter. Everyone else will never look back on buying this scooter. I believe that, at this moment, this is the best electric scooter under $1000, and it’s almost impossible to make a mistake with it.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
The Apollo City falls short for off-road enthusiasts with its smooth tires and lightweight frame, struggling on potholes and hills. Its range is solid, but not super-long. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
In this detailed hands-on Apollo City review and test, I will go over my experience with it, and we will see why this scooter rose through the ranks so quickly, and became one of the most popular models in the mid-price range, despite facing heavy competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
