There are no two ways about it, the Apollo City is one of, if not the, best scooters for commuters<\/strong>.<\/p> It\u2019s perfectly designed for city rides with a compact, light, and sleek body, and you won\u2019t have to worry about being late for work. Reaching top speeds of 25 mph, the 600W motor (with a peak output of 800W) sees it able to climb to an impressive 15 mph in just over 4 seconds, meaning it packs a punch when you\u2019re riding against the clock.<\/p> <\/p> Plus, its maximum 28 mile range makes it capable of doing the average back-and-forth commute, so you won\u2019t have to worry about running out of juice on your way to the office. Not to mention, the City is easy to fold and carry with just one hand – which is another tick in the City\u2019s favor if you\u2019re commuting. And, with its telescopic stem and folding handlebars, it\u2019s convenient to store out of sight when not in use.<\/p> It should be noted that the suspension hasn\u2019t been designed to handle off-roading<\/strong><\/a>, and its acceleration and torque are at peak performance when cruising along smoother, less bumpy surfaces.<\/p> Best Electric Scooters<\/a><\/strong> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> Coming in at an affordable $999, the Apollo City provides a high-quality ride at a reasonable price. In classic Apollo-style, it\u2019s jam-packed with premium features like dual spring shock absorbers at the rear, and an additional one at the front, meaning you can maneuver like a professional at a fraction of the cost.<\/p> While the City is one of Apollo\u2019s entry-level models, spending less doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re getting any less in the safety department. The City\u2019s got you covered as far as safety features are concerned, featuring a rear drum and front disc braking setup which delivers stopping power that goes toe to toe with the more premium models. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, it features regenerative braking that not only helps to slow the scooter but extends the battery simultaneously.<\/p> The Apollo City has a secret, though. It has a long-lost twin. Separated at birth, the City is pretty much the same scooter as the Zero 9<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> Both models are made by the same scooter manufacturer Titan\/Unicool, meaning they have the same frame. These frames are then fitted with different batteries and styled to give them their distinct aesthetic. For the City, this is blue, white, and black, and for the Zero, the blue is replaced with red.<\/p> Why does this matter to you? Well, the Apollo City retails for $100 less than the Zero 9 so if you were considering the Zero 9, you\u2019re best off saving some cash<\/strong>.<\/p> Best Cheap Electric Scooters<\/a><\/strong> Whilst the Apollo City is a fantastic scooter, it\u2019s worth keeping your eye on the rest of the market to be sure you\u2019re buying the right scooter for you. If you like what you see with the City, these alternatives are well worth a look:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
