Apollo Go Stellar: the case against
- A rear drum plus regeneration, with no disc at either end, is light braking for a 32 mph dual motor
- 9.5-inch wheels are small for 32 mph
- 7.5-hour charge
- At 55 lb it is a scooter you roll rather than carry
- No independent range test of this model yet, and Apollo's 38 miles is an Eco-mode figure
Gotrax GX2: the case against
- Tested range was 24.7 miles against a 40-mile claim
- 76 lb, with no way to carry it upstairs
- Slower off the line than the GX1, according to testing
- Seven-hour charge
- IP54 means splash, not rain riding
