The Apollo Air 2024 aims to be a light, commuter-friendly electric scooter with a sleek design, IP66 rating, and decent speed for urban riding. However, in our real-world testing and repair experience, the results tell a different story.
After servicing and testing hundreds of Apollo scooters over the past few years, I can confidently say that the Apollo brand consistently underdelivers, and the 2024 Air is no exception.
Overall Score: 4/10
Despite marketing claims, the overall build doesn’t inspire confidence. The chassis feels basic, and the suspension is limited to only the front fork, which leaves you vulnerable to knee discomfort during longer rides.
Overall Score: 6/10
Apollo advertises up to 54km of range, but during my own test rides (200 lbs rider, 20°C spring day), I was only able to achieve 30km max, less than expected. This discrepancy makes the battery feel like a bait-and-switch.
Overall Score: 7/10
This year’s model features tubeless tires, which is a welcome improvement. The tread and size seem directly inspired by Ninebot Max. They perform decently in terms of grip and puncture resistance since comes with self-healing glue inside.
Overall Score: 3/10
Officially rated IP66, but I’ve personally seen dozens of water-damaged Apollo Air scooters in my shop. The internal sealing and controller placement are simply not up to standard. Don’t trust/use this scooter in wet conditions.
Overall Score: 3/10
One of the weakest points. The controller features a very small heat sink, and in many cases, it overheats and fails, especially when pushing the motor to peak output (800W bursts). A recurring issue we’ve seen across multiple units.
Overall Score: 5/10
The lack of rear suspension makes longer commutes or bumpy roads tough on the knees and lower back.
Overall Score: 5/10
With a 500W motor, the Air can only manage 25 km/h on moderate 15° hills under my weight. Not enough torque or thermal stability to handle inclines effectively.
Overall Score: 7/10
Apollo’s app is one of the few redeeming features. It’s clean, intuitive, and gives solid control over ride modes and firmware settings, speed limits, battery percentage etc.
Overall Score: 4/10
The Apollo Air 2024 is a scooter with decent looks and a solid marketing budget, but poor execution and reliability issues plague this model just like its predecessors.
For commuters who ride in wet weather or expect long-term durability, this scooter simply isn’t worth the price tag. At best, it’s a casual city scooter for short, dry-weather trips.
Overall Score: 4/10
Range 5/10
Top Speed 6/10
Value for Money 3/10
