Compare & Find Your Best Electric Scooter

Just as we awarded the Apollo Air with the best-in-class ride quality sub $600, the Air Pro follows suit securing the crown for the sub $800 bracket. Replacing the ‘Apollo Light’ and superseding the more limited Air model, the brand new Air Pro cranks up its predecessor’s dial with superior specs, suspension, and stature. We often refer to INOKIM as producing some of the best-built electric scooters as a result of their precise manufacturing process, but just as INOKIM joins the components of its scooters with perfect alignment - forging unsightly seams that are all too common, especially on entry-level scooters - Apollo has done the same for the Air Pro. It eschews the clunky style that many scooters in its price bracket have with curved lines, flush finishes, and a design that flows from one section to the next. Bravo, Apollo.

How does the best-in-class ride quality sub $600 sound? Well, that’s what the Air delivers. With a front spring built to cushion your body from the impacts of less predictable urban terrain, and a pair of pneumatic, air-filled tires to soften the residual vibrations, it boasts a combo you don’t see on any other scooter below $600. Just as I liken the Air’s reliability to a Toyota Prius, its build quality is that of a Rolls Royce. Everything from the handlebars to the stem and deck seamlessly flows into each other and the attention to detail for the design of components like the folding hook and kickstand - that sit flush to the scooter while retracted - is a tell-tale sign of quality that other budget models simply lack.

City by name and city by nature, the Apollo City is the perfect urban ride and an essential consideration for anyone looking for something light and zippy for nipping around urban streets. Weighing in at a diddy 39 lbs, boasting a quick stem folding mechanism, and intuitive foldable handlebars, the Apollo City is on the lighter and compact end of the scooter spectrum, making it ideal for those looking for a portable model. As you might expect from Apollo, the City comes with a cracking warranty that extends coverage for up to two years. Delivering a comfortable ride with its dual suspension system, effective braking, and great build quality, it’s a reliable choice for those taking their first steps into the world of scooters and who are keen to have the backup of a good warranty.

On the hunt for a scooter that straddles the line between entry-level and performance? Look no further, the Apollo Explore is a well-rounded model primed to deliver a high-quality riding experience. Sporting a 52V 18.2Ah Dynavolt battery and a 1000W motor with 3-speed settings, it is the perfect companion for urban rides. And it doesn’t stop there, touted as one of the most compact scooters in its class, the Explore benefits from 3 intuitive folding mechanisms. Plus, riders will be pleased to hear that its 10 inch pneumatic tires and spring suspension system are capable of delivering a smooth, comfortable riding experience. From safety to style, the Explore has it all. Its two high-performance disc brakes deliver dependable stopping power whilst its stylish Fast & Furious inspired lighting setup adorns it the appearance of a souped-up street racing car. However, if you’re willing to give up some style for improved specs, there are a few other scooters that you should consider - read our in-depth review to see what scooters we recommend as alternatives.

Taking your first step into the big, bad world of performance scooters can be daunting and thrilling all at once. Choosing a model capable of sending your adrenal glands into overdrive without doing the same to your bank balance was always going to be a challenge or, at least, it was until the Apollo Ghost glided onto the scene. With its supernatural design and hauntingly fast acceleration, this scooter offers a phantasmal set of features designed to take your riding experience to the next level. Even better, it does it without blasting through your life savings, making it the best introductory performance scooter.

It’s a rare day when I’m not exactly sure how to begin a review or summarise a scooter in a single paragraph. Usually, I like to highlight the top features but this time, I’m truly stumped. Not because this scooter has nothing going for it, but because it has everything going for it. Whilst the first batch of stock flew off the shelves faster than a group of bargain-hunters rushing through the sliding doors of a Best Buy store on Black Friday, I was lucky enough to get an exclusive look at this titan of a scooter, and let me tell you, the Apollo Phantom is an absolute marvel in scooter innovation. It’s seen what its competitors can do and has savagely outpaced them with its sophisticated style, monolithic acceleration, and never-seen-before proprietary design and features. Whether you’re a die-hard dirt track fan, a leisurely cruiser, or a high-speed adrenaline junkie, the Phantom can match your preferences, delivering a first-rate experience in all departments. This scooter is the result of a whole ton of testing and research based on feedback from riders like you and me. It really is the scooter of the people and, if you’re anything like me, it’s one short ride away from becoming your favorite scooter of 2021.

As far as no-frills, no-nonsense scooters go, they don’t get much better than this. The brainchild of popular scooter distributor Fluid Free Ride, the CityRider is a sleek, swift, skateboard-influenced scooter that does everything its name promises. With a newly upgraded motor (350W vs 300W) and battery (10Ah vs 7.5Ah), it combines a cruising speed and respectable range with an essentially maintenance-free design that is ideal for city riding. Plus, as one of the lightest and most well-built models in its class, the CityRider will attract commuters looking for a durable, dependable urban scooter.

Want to go far, take on all types of terrain, and zoom your way up even the steepest of hills with ease? Try the Dualtron III. Channeling almost everything we love about the design and innovation of Dualtron’s most premium scooters – such as the Thunder – the 3 is a versatile scooter that’ll give scooter enthusiasts everywhere something to get excited about. There is one major caveat, though...there are plenty of other scooters that offer far better value for money.

If the term ‘ultra-performance scooter’ was in the dictionary, it’d probably be inked there next to a picture of the Dualtron Storm. After all, this thing can hit up to a flabbergasting 80 miles of range and scorch surfaces at a rate of up to 62 mph. With patent-pending 45-step rubber suspension technology, a customizable, kaleidoscopic wealth of swag lighting, and immense amounts of torque, the Storm encapsulates all the innovation and imagination of the Dualtron brand – with a few surprises thrown in. Gather round, then, as we run you through the top 10 things you need to know about one of the most impressive machines that the Dualtron line has put out. But come quickly – there’s a storm brewing and this thing is set to launch.

The Thunder sits firmly among the upper echelons of Dualtron’s premium electric scooters. Weighing far less than Dualtron X, but sporting almost all of the lightning-quick speed (sorry – couldn’t resist), the Thunder is a top contender in the extreme performance bracket. Like a bull ready to charge and a level of customization that is almost unparalleled, the Thunder is ready to tackle anything thrown its way. If this scooter was a weather pattern, it wouldn’t be thunder. It’d be a hurricane.

What if you could take the power, speed, range of the Dualtron Thunder, shave off several hundred dollars – and several pounds off the weight – and then equip it with chunky, knobby tires ideal for off-road riding? Well, you can, and it’s called the Dualtron Ultra. Retaining the pedigree and feel of the rest of MiniMotors’ extreme-performance scooter line, the Ultra keeps its ferocious demeanor alongside a durable aerospace-grade aluminum and steel frame. This one’s for scooter lovers, off-road enthusiasts, and thrill-seekers – but not for the faint-hearted. However, there’s no mistaking that there are better scooters for a fraction of the price.

Designed and distributed by MiniMotors USA, the Dualtron X is a monster. Crowned as the king of electric scooters, it has an incredible top speed of 55 mph, dishes out insane levels of acceleration and torque that will make the mouths of scooter lovers everywhere water, and an outrageous large, reinforced frame that is capable of tearing up both urban and off-road terrain. It’s very expensive and very heavy, but it leaves all other scooters quivering in its beastly wake.
