The APOLLO Explore is an advanced commuter scooter designed for the urban rider looking for a high-performance long-range scooter which is still compact and portable. Its 52V 18Ah Dynavolt battery and a 1000W motor with 3 speed settings offer a fast and comfortable commute ranging up to 34 miles. With a foldable stem and handlebars and only 52 lb the Explore is one of the most portable scooters in its class.
In combination with the 10” pneumatic tires, a high-performance dual spring suspension in the rear and an additional spring suspension in the front, make the Explore the perfect choice for both ultra-comfortable commutes in the city and adventurous rides on hills and trails.
Two high-performance disc brakes and the bright all around lighting package make for a safe commute in traffic. We recommend an additional headlight for extended night rides to better light up the road ahead of you.
A central feature, letting the Explore outshine many comparable scooters of the same size, is its portability. Its foldable stem and handlebar let you easily carry the scooter, take it on a train, or quickly store it out of sight.
Make the Explore your own by configuring many settings such as cruise control, acceleration strength or zero start.

Performance and Portability for the Daily Urban Rider
Need to have a scooter you can rely on? Tackle hills and rough roads on a daily basis? Say good bye to low performing and uncomfortable scooters! The APOLLO Explore is the perfect choice if you want long range, high performance, portability for your every-day commute.
How it Compares
The Explore is a true all round commuter scooter. Powerful but still portable.
ALTERNATIVES: - lighter weight, beautiful design, but also less power: QUICK4 - better ride-quality with a thumb throttle but a little less punch and speed: OX - better ride quality and dual motor with double the power: MANTIS
This is the range you can get under optimal conditions. Usually manufacturers quote this type of range. We expect real world range to be lower since you will not go at constant slow speed.
28 miles
Real World (165 lb rider, aggressive riding)
This range has been tested by electric-scooter.guide under real world conditions. Quick acceleration, multiple stops, some inclines. All ESG range tests are done by the same rider and on the same circuit.

Very comfortable. The suspension absorbs all road imperfections. The braking is phenomenal and the speed is plenty fast for a scooter. Great autonomy as well.

Love my Explore more than my Pegasus.
Scooter is fantastic. I have the Varla pegasus with similar specs and it's great but I fell in love with this apollo explore more. Very powerful for how light it is. And the size is seemingly compact, easy to carry and put in trunk for how much power this offers. Much lighter and easier to maneuver than the pegasus. Very agile. Pegasus seems more solid on the suspension though. Not sure how tough the Apollo is, we'll see but so far so great even jumped it off a couple of curbs. Only thing I don't like is how fat the center of the handle bars is and the screw area of the folding handle bars. The part where you screw it into to keep the handle bars in place while in use seems cheap. Seems like it's just plastic material.

Best for it's price
I was looking at the Horizon at the Fluid store in SF and tried the Explore just out of curiosity. It looked like an aggressive scooter with big tires, disk brakes, suspension, etc so I didn't think I would be into to but after taking it for a couple of loops around the block I was sold! The Horizon's deck felt a bit cramped with the handle but the Explore was super comfortable with the big wide deck. Also due to the suspension and the big 10" tires I never felt like uneven road was going to give it too much trouble. The brakes were almost too good when I skidded a little at a stop sign. It totally eats up rough road and goes up hills at a speed faster than some rental scooters go on flat ground! At night the scooter is lit up like a Christmas tree, with various ground effects and a long led strip on the stem, so you definitely will be visible. Also, the flashing brake lights is a nice safety feature.
As for negatives the weight is a bit much to carry far; I live on the 3rd floor of a 4 story apartment building with no elevator so I am about done when I get to my floor. I have learned to let the steering stem turn all the way to one side before lifting it, this allows it easier to tote. Also, there doesn't seem to be any warning before the voltage meter reaches its charging minimum voltage which can leave you in a lurch if you don't check the voltage level often. Even if there were a notification letting you know you had a few miles before it shuts off would help. I think they've addressed this in other models. The last con would be the lack of an adequate headlight to light up the road at night. This can be remedied with a bike headlight pretty easily, although keep in mind that you will need one that accepts a wide tube or buy an accessory bar. When I first rode the Explore down hills the regen braking system seemed to grab which was a little unsettling but this can be remedied by lowering the regen P setting. Now it's very smooth.
In all I couldn't find another scooter for $1000.00 that had a top speed of more than 31 mph let alone the other things you find on higher end scooters such as disk brakes, 10" tires, and a 1000 watt motor. There are much faster scooters out there but 31 mph is plenty for me. If you're looking for a commuter scooter that eats road bumps and hills for breakfast for the price you can't do much better!

Quick shipping excellent customer service snd the apollo explore is awesome as well. I’ve only put 35 miles on the scooter and I’m happy with the performance, only issue for me is acceleration. All in all great scooter and fluid free ride shipped quick and great customer service.

Great scooter and company
I purchased this scooter from Fluid Freeride as an upgrade from my Horizon, as it had problems- but they let me use the value of the Horizon to upgrade to the Explore and I could not be happier. The only problem with this scooter is the weight, as I have to carry it up stairs, but Fluid does also offer the Mosquito as a good alternative. I love the speed and comfort of the Explore however and will not be switching to any other scooter unless it’s necessary. The scoot is incredible and smooth as hell on the roads, even over potholes and bad conditions, and can definitely be taken in light off-road conditions. It’s a great purchase for commuters to a college campus like me and probably anyone else. The scooter is a bit old at this time, so I think would like to see a price drop, but it’s a great option to have in their lineup. All of my dealings with Fluid Freeride have been quick, fantastic, and helpful. Should I ever feel the need to buy a new scooter, it will be from Fluid Freeride.
