The NEW and improved 2021 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.

Since range of electric scooters varies greatly by riding style and rider weight, here are some examples for this particular model so you can judge:
35 miles
Optimal Conditions (165 lb rider, 15 mph constant speed)
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.

APOLLO Explore
Chuck at fluid Brooklyn was very helpful
It's a great scooter fast and fun you best city commute so far no more public transportation 😁
Got the Apollo Explorer and it's got everything I needed. The guys are Fluidfreeride - specifically Chuck were super helpful in guiding me to the right scooter. And bonus that they also repair them if I ever need that.
I entered the scooter world with the Ninebot Max, a very good scooter. I needed a little more speed, range, and insulation from potholes and rough roads. Enter the Explore. I've put my first 100+ miles on it, mostly with my daily 17 mile round-trip commute to work in Manhattan. I'm restricting myself to gear 2, because, well, 25-26 miles an hour is as fast as I need to go (scootering in Manhattan can be a bloodsport, and I want to live). Looking forward to watching the many maintenance videos and doing my first lube/clean/brake check this next weekend.
Proud owner of my new Apollo Explore, and boy the wait was worth it.
Here's my story.
I received my scooter and rode it right away and loved it. Long story short, something was wrong with the scooter so I contacted Fluid/Apollo. They were so quick to help with my issue, they didn't try to put the blame on me for the problem; no questions asked other than to share a video of the issue. At this point im going through my thoughts thinking, ok maybe they'll send me a new replacement piece, maybe they'll have me take it to a shop at their expense. The thoughts kept coming while I was waiting for the reply in email. Fluid, the authorized dealer for Apollo, told me to send the scooter back at their expense, and to take a photo of the confirmed shipping/tracking number. They sent out my replacement scooter that very moment! I didn't have to wait for them to receive my old scooter, and I was able to get a brand new scooter that wasn't just fixed and returned back to me! The whole process took about 24-48 hours in total. Really an upstanding company. Apollo and Fluid can count on my business as well as referrals by me in the future.
Today, I am still enjoying my scooter as much as I did when I first received it. If your on the fence about getting a scooter, I highly recommend going with a Fluid or Apollo brand scooter simply just for the customer service alone. A company that stands behind their product 100% means the quality of the product is exceptional. Thank you Fluid! Thank you Apollo!
As far as the scooter itself, it smooth sailing when riding. The suspension is top notch (front and rear), and the 10" tires eat up any type of obstacle a usual 10" tire can take.
The deck of the scooter makes you feel stable and safe. It is covered with a skateboard type grip paper kind of like sand paper with the Apollo logo throughout.
The Tires are pneumatic with an inner tube on the inside. This means they are filled with air just like bicycle tires. For me personally i pre-treated my tires with the "Slime" to prevent future punctures when out on an adventure. I still will always keep a small handheld air pump with me.
The disc brakes are just wonderful. Although they are mechanical, most people haven't used anything but mechanical brakes, like myself, on any type of bicycle or scooter. Again, top notch and high quality.
The handlebars fold downwards if you plan on bringing it along on a trip, as well as the stem that connects the handle bars and the bottom of the scooter folds down. This isn't a smaller scooter, but you wouldn't want a small scooter if you had the capability of going upwards of 30 miles per hour.
The Battery Life I can't really comment on just yet because I haven't had to charge it yet. I would consider that a good thing!
Overall out of 100 points, I would give this scooter a 98/100. You may ask why I took 2 points off? Well nothing in life is perfect. If I had to change one thing about the scooter, I would probably offer at least one more color option, but thats really preference.
