Not only does it satisfy those with an inclination for speed and long rides, but it\u2019s also been built with high-quality materials and clever technologies that ensure it lasts the test of time. Take the Smart Power Management system, for example. An electric scooter is only as powerful as its battery is, and this system keeps the battery in peak condition by controlling the flow of electricity in and out of it. While we are on the topic of the battery, the Explore uses tried and tested Dynavolt battery cells. These are typically found on motorcycles and with the Smart Power Management system, deliver peak performance for up to 2,600 charge cycles which is the equivalent to around 7 years of consistent use.<\/p><p>When you consider the longevity offered by the Explore and the fact that it\u2019s less expensive than plenty of other lower-quality scooters, it is the gift that keeps on giving.<\/p><p><strong>However, it is worth noting, that for all the Explore has to offer, other scooters rival it for value<\/strong>.

The upgraded design for 2021 sees improvements made to three of the scooter\u2019s key features:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Improved fender stability<\/strong> &#8211; The Explore\u2019s new fenders are twice as secure as the fenders of the 2020 model and deliver much-improved coverage meaning less water and dirt splatters on your back.<\/li><li><strong>A more rigid kickstand<\/strong> &#8211; Secured by a custom-designed bracket, the new kickstand ensures long-term stability even through the scooter\u2019s vibrations.<\/li><li><strong>Better deck design<\/strong> &#8211; Sharing a new and improved deck design with the Ghost, the Explore couples seamless design elements with improved lighting.<\/li><\/ol><h3>Handlebars<\/h3><p>Although the handlebars fold, <strong>their width and general sturdiness offer good control over the steering column<\/strong>. This makes the Explore a pleasure to ride and is something that shouldn\u2019t be overlooked &#8211; everything from the weight of handlebars and stem, to the shape of the handgrips can affect your riding experience for better or worse. Take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/kugoo-g2-pro-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kugoo G2 Pro<\/strong><\/a>, for example. This scooter shares similar specs to the Explore but suffers from narrow handlebars and thin handgrips that make it feel rickety &#8211; especially when accelerating and hitting top speeds. The Explore, on the other hand, inspires confidence.<\/p><p>Using a screw-type mechanism, the foldable handlebars feel safer than spring-loaded ones (like those on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/emove-cruiser-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>EMOVE Cruiser<\/strong><\/a>), because they are tightened into place with no wiggle room. That being said, on longer rides, they do have a slight tendency to loosen up. This is, however, fairly standard across the board for this particular type of mechanism, and whilst it\u2019s not ideal, it\u2019s the trade-off you pay for the added peace of mind that comes with the screw-type mechanism. Overall, the slight loosening of the handlebars doesn\u2019t pose a safety issue, but it may cause a bit of annoyance.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips.jpg\" alt=\"Apollo Explore Rubber Handgrips\" width=\"820\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-1024x882.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-768x661.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-1536x1322.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-2048x1763.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-174x150.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-100x86.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-407x350.jpg 407w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-788x678.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rubber-handgrips-599x516.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>Aside from the colorful folding sleeves that hold either side of the handlebars into place, there isn\u2019t too much more to shout about &#8211; the handlebars have a clean finish and feature only the necessities of what you need to ride.<\/p><p>While riding, the ergonomically shaped handgrips that we\u2019ve come to see on other Apollo models, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/apollo-city-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the City<\/strong><\/a>, facilitate a sturdy hold, giving you a firm, reassuring grip. The handlebars are also home to the QS-S4 display\/throttle. This device is where you\u2019ll keep track of your speed, distance covered, battery level, and riding mode, as well as make adjustments to the Explore\u2019s settings such as turning the dial-up or down on its acceleration strength.<\/p><p>Located on either side of the handlebars are the brake levers which control both the front and rear mechanical brakes, as well as activate the electronic regenerative braking system &#8211; the strength of which can be adjusted via the QS-S4 display.<\/p><h3>Frame<\/h3><p>Once upon a time, Apollo was known for its eye-catching color scheme that saw scooters in a rainbow of white, black, and electric blue. However, a trend set by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/apollo-ghost-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ghost<\/strong><\/a> (and continued by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/apollo-phantom-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Phantom<\/strong><\/a> and Air models) moves away from the colorful exterior and opts for a more stealthy black design trimmed with steely grey accents. Apollo had originally announced that it would be updating the color palette of the Explore to match its new direction and branding but this has not yet come to fruition.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light.jpg\" alt=\"Apollo Explore Rear Brake Light\" width=\"820\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-767x547.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-1536x1096.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-2048x1461.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-210x150.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-491x350.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-788x562.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-brake-light-600x428.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>Luckily, the Explore still <strong>boasts a sleek design that sets it apart from the more uniformly finished scooters<\/strong>. It\u2019s got substance, too. It doesn\u2019t just look good but it\u2019s finished to a high standard with the frame being forged from a widely-used aluminum alloy and the rest of the scooter benefiting from hard-wearing plastic and rubber.<\/p><h3>Deck<\/h3><p>The 9 inches wide and 21 inches long anti-slip deck is perfect for finding a stance that suits you (rather than twisting yourself into a contorted position to keep your feet on the deck). The deck is also big enough to attach a seat, should you wish to buy one as a separate accessory.<\/p><p>Just like on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/apollo-city-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Apollo City<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; the Explore\u2019s predecessor &#8211; the deck is covered in a geometrically shaped grip tape.

While the Explore is said to be terrain-agnostic, there isn\u2019t enough clearance to safely maneuver rough terrain. For this, scooters with a higher elevation and swingarm suspension are best. Nevertheless, for urban terrain and compacted dirt paths, the clearance is ideal.<\/p><h3>Wheels<\/h3><p>The plush 10 inch pneumatic tires mean that it\u2019s able to soak up irregularities from the terrain underfoot much better than the smaller tires on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/best-electric-scooters-for-commuting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>portable commuter scooters<\/strong><\/a> like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/apollo-city-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Apollo City<\/strong><\/a>. For what it's worth, my preferred tire size is 10 inches simply because it delivers the best of both worlds: comfort and control.<\/p><p>Because of the decently sized tires, their tall profile can effectively roll over obstacles, while their respectable 3 inch width <strong>maintains traction when accelerating, braking, and leaning into turns<\/strong>. This combination is one of the many reasons why the Explore can keep you comfortable throughout rides.<\/p><p>Pneumatic tires are also far better at handling slippery and wet conditions. In comparison to solid rubber tires, air-filled ones can get a better grip on a wider variety of surfaces because they mold to what they are rolling over. As they mold to the surface below, a greater contact patch with the ground is formed and this increases traction.<\/p><p>However, being supple can prove problematic when it comes to flats.

Apollo has plenty of online resources and video tutorials if you need extra support.<\/p><h2>Ride Quality<\/h2><h3>Is the Apollo Explore Comfortable to Ride?<\/h3><p>When we consider the scooters that are most similar to the Explore &#8211; including the Zero 10, EMOVE Cruiser, and EVOLV Tour XL-R &#8211; it delivers the same level of rider comfort. In fact, the Zero 10 and Explore are replicas of each other &#8211; as far as their frame, tires, and suspension system are concerned. This is because they are made by the same manufacturer, after which Apollo and Zero kit them out with their own choice of batteries and branding.<\/p><p>However, if we look beyond these near-identical models, there are more comfortable rides available. But before we get to those, let's take a look at what the Explore has to offer.<\/p><p>With double spring suspension at the rear and a single spring at the front, <strong>the well-suspended scooter reduces the feeling of surface lumps and bumps<\/strong>, even on the rough urban terrain. Plus, the 10 inch pneumatic tires go the extra mile to ensure your ride is as smooth and wobble-free as possible. Coupled with its high-performance disc brakes and electric regenerative brake, the Explore delivers on both safety and efficiency.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension.jpg\" alt=\"Apollo Explore Rear Suspension\" width=\"820\" height=\"729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-1024x910.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-767x682.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-1536x1366.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-2048x1821.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-169x150.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-100x89.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-394x350.jpg 394w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-788x700.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/apollo-explore-rear-suspension-600x533.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>These strong, functional elements mean that the Explore has a refined performance that is at its peak when gliding through urban environments.<\/p><p>While the overall ride quality of the Explore is good, the very nature of the components that deliver its absorption qualities also hinders it. Here, I am specifically referring to the suspension. To achieve a truly buttery-smooth ride across a variety of terrain, swingarm suspension is key. This is because it allows the scooter to pivot vertically. As the springs compress and depress, swingarms pivot allowing the deck to move up and down to help manage undulations.<\/p><p>Scooters that boast swingarms are typically more expensive but if you like the Apollo brand, the next scooter up from the Explore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/apollo-ghost-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the Ghost<\/strong><\/a> is available for just $200 more and boasts a superior ride quality thanks to its vertically-aligned spring and swingarm combination.

This isn\u2019t just an aesthetic thing either, the bright lights will keep you visible, making the Explore a safer ride.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights.jpeg\" alt=\"Apollo Explore Bright LED Lights\" width=\"820\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights.jpeg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-100x75.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-467x350.jpeg 467w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-788x591.jpeg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apollo-explore-bright-led-lights-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>A single low-mounted front headlight, two rear brake lights, and blue LED strip lights running the length of both sides of the deck and stem keep you glowing.<\/p><p>It\u2019s not all bells and whistles, though. The low placement of the headlight means it can only cast light so far, making it a little tricky to see far ahead when riding at night. For this reason, I recommend purchasing an additional headlight to mount on the handlebars.<\/p><h3>Telescopic Stem For Adjustable Handlebar Height<\/h3><p>As mentioned early in the review, the Explore is compact when fully collapsed &#8211; courtesy of the telescopic stem. But, there\u2019s more to it than just making the scooter\u2019s folded profile more slender.<\/p><p><strong>The position of the handlebars can be adjusted to suit the height of each rider<\/strong>.<\/p><h3>Folding Handlebars For Enhanced Portability<\/h3><p><strong>Reducing the width of the scooter to a narrow 7.7 inches, its compact capability is a redeeming feature<\/strong>. Although it sits on the heavier end of the scale (52 lbs), the fact that you can fold it into a more portable and manageable shape makes storage far easier, especially if you want to transport it from place to place.<\/p><p>Unlike scooters that have one-piece handlebars, you don\u2019t have to wrangle a cumbersome shape into the trunk of your car.<\/p><h3>Optional Seat Attachment<\/h3><p>One thing to note here is that Apollo no longer sells self-branded seats for the Explore. But, fear not, there\u2019s a shining hero in the distance and it comes in the form of the Zero 10X.<\/p><p>The seat for the Zero 10X also fits the Apollo Explore.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post.jpg\" alt=\"Zero Leather Seat Saddle and Post\" width=\"820\" height=\"1058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-794x1024.jpg 794w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-767x990.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-1190x1536.jpg 1190w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-1587x2048.jpg 1587w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-116x150.jpg 116w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-100x129.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-271x350.jpg 271w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-788x1016.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-leather-seat-saddle-and-post-600x774.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>For a reasonable $105, this gadget will save you some serious leg ache, allowing you to kick back and enjoy the ride.<\/p><p>And, do you want to know the best bit?
