Apollo Scooters
The Apollo Air is the entry-level, lightweight commuter in the Apollo Scooters line-up. It pairs a single 500 W rear hub motor with a 36 V 15 Ah (540 Wh) lithium battery, which Apollo sources from energy-dense 21700 cells (Samsung-branded on the 2023 revision). Independent testing put the top speed at roughly 33 km/h (about 20.6 mph) and real-world range at around 31-36 km depending on rider weight and mode, against a manufacturer claim of up to roughly 55 km. The scooter rides on 10-inch pneumatic tyres with a front spring (motorcycle-style fork) suspension and no rear suspension; the 2022 model used inner-tube tyres while the 2023 revision moved to self-healing tubeless tyres. Braking combines a front drum brake with regenerative braking on the motor. A small central display shows ride data, and an Apollo mobile app over Bluetooth exposes ride modes, speed limits and acceleration tuning. Weather sealing was rated IP54 on the 2022 model and upgraded to IP66 on the 2023 and 2024 revisions. Curb weight is around 17.4-18.8 kg, keeping it among the lighter full-suspension-class commuters, and the maximum rider load is 100 kg (220 lb).
