Apollo City 2.0: the case against
- Earlier generations produced multiple reports of the handlebar assembly failing at the hinge in motion
- Front disc plus regen only — no rear mechanical brake on a 32 mph scooter
- Owners report a flimsy kickstand and a carry latch that works loose
- Cannot power on or use Bluetooth while charging
- 65 lb
Apollo Phantom 2.0: the case against
- Mechanical discs where every rival at this price uses hydraulics

- Apollo's support and parts record is the weakest of the performance brands here
- Claimed 50 miles is an eco-mode figure; at 44 mph expect a fraction of it
