Apollo Air: Everything You Need to Know
Apollo Air is not one scooter and not Class 1–3. No 2026 cart. ESI’s 2023 review claimed 21 mph and 34 miles, tested 20.5 and 15.5. A 2021 manual says 25 km/h.

The short answer
Apollo Air is not one kick scooter, and it is not a Class 1–3 e-bike. The 2026 lineup does not list it. A 2024 review of the 2023 model claims 21 mph and 34 miles, a 500-watt motor with a 900-watt peak, and 41 pounds. The test measured 20.5 mph and 15.5 miles at 197 pounds. An earlier sheet says 15 mph and 35 pounds. Its manual says 25 km/h.
Apollo Air is not one scooter, and it is not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike. The 2026 collection this crawl lists six machines: Go, Go Stellar, City 2.0, City Stellar, Explore Stellar, and Dash. There is no Air on that grid, and Apollo’s battery chart does not give it a row. The name covers four earlier kick scooters. Electric Scooter Insider’s February 22, 2024 review of the 2023 model, price when reviewed $999, still shows a widget at $749 from $1,049. That review claims 21 mph and 34 miles, a 36-volt 500-watt motor with a 900-watt peak, a 36-volt 15-amp-hour pack it calls 540 Wh, and 41 pounds. The GPS runs were 20.5 mph and 15.5 miles at 197 pounds, and 20.6 mph and 23 miles at 165 pounds. The row on this desk’s list links here.
Four scooters, one name
ESI reviews dated September 29, 2021 (Air and Air Pro), September 19, 2022, and February 22, 2024, plus an owner manual that prints both Air and Air Pro. Thirty-six times 7.8 is 280.8. Thirty-six times 10.4 is 374.4. Thirty-six times 15 is 540.
| The review sheet | The other print | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 Air | ESI: $549 when reviewed, then marked replaced by the 2022. Sheet: 35 pounds, 15 mph, 12 miles, 18 percent grade, 4.5 hours, front spring, mechanical disc, 10-inch inner tubes, 220-pound load. | Manual: 16 kg, which is 35.3 pounds, 25 km/h (15.5 mph), 25 to 30 km, 36 volts and 7.8 amp-hours, 10 percent grade, front 10-inch and rear 8.5-inch, load 100 kg. |
| Air Pro | ESI, same week: $799 when reviewed, then marked replaced by the 2022. Sheet: 38.5 pounds, 18 mph, 18 miles, 18 percent, 5.2 hours, drum, front suspension only. | Manual: 16 kg again, 30 km/h, 30 to 35 km, 36 volts and 10.4 amp-hours. |
| 2022 | ESI: replaced by the 2023. Prose: a 500-watt motor replaces 350 watts, and a 36-volt 15-amp-hour pack (540 Wh) replaces 36 volts and 10.4 amp-hours (374 Wh). Claimed range 31 miles. Claimed top 21 mph. | Sheet: 38.5 pounds, 21 mph, 31 miles, 18 percent, 7 hours, drum plus electronic brake, front suspension only, 220-pound load. |
| 2023 | Price when reviewed $999. Widget later $749 from $1,049. Prose: 500 watts, 900-watt peak, 21700 cells, 540 Wh, 41 pounds, IP66, front drum plus regen, front fork. Claimed top 21. Claimed distance 34. Incline claim 10 degrees. | Tests, 197 pounds: 20.5 mph, 15.5 miles, 6 degrees, 0 to 15 in 9.2 seconds. At 165 pounds: 20.6 mph, 23 miles, 6 degrees, 0 to 15 in 5.7 seconds. Braking 3.4 meters on both. |
Fifteen miles an hour and 21 are different scooters. So are 12 miles, 18, 31, and 34. The 2021 manual’s 10 percent grade is not the sheet’s 18 percent. Ten degrees on the 2023 claim is about 18 percent, which is close to the older sheet’s unit and not the same sentence. The test table says 6 degrees, and the write-up also says a 10 percent hill was finished slowly. Six degrees is about a 10.5 percent grade. Quote the unit that is printed. Do not average 6 degrees and 10 degrees into 8.
Sixteen kilograms on the manual is 35.3 pounds, next to a sheet that says 35, and the Air Pro manual still says 16 kilograms next to a sheet that says 38.5. Those are not a rounding. The 2022 prose calls the older pack 374 Wh. Thirty-six times 10.4 is 374.4. The 540 Wh line matches thirty-six times 15. The peak of 900 watts is only in the 2023 prose. The 2022 sheet does not print it.
A $749 widget on a 2024 review is not a 2026 product page. No pedals on any of the four, so none of them is Class 2.
Who it is for
Buy one only if the listing names the year, the brake, and the pack, and the photo matches that year. The 2023 is the last one ESI reviewed: front fork, front drum, 41 pounds on that sheet. Skip a listing that promises 34 miles and does not show the 15.5-mile loop. Skip it if you wanted a scooter Apollo is still building. The Apollo Go is the dual-motor cart that replaced this job in the lineup, at $799. The KQi Air is the other scooter people search when they type Air: carbon, 26.2 pounds, and a US card that was in stock. The Apollo Dash is the 2026 single-motor pre-order, with no fork at all.
All four fail the class chart. Five hundred forty divided by 15.5 miles is about 35 watt-hours a mile on the heavy 2023 loop, and about 23 on the 23-mile lighter loop. The watt-hour page is the arithmetic. Do not apply the 7.8-amp-hour manual to the 2023 scooter.
Questions people ask
Can you still order one from Apollo?+
Not from the 2026 collection this crawl. That page lists the Go, the Go Stellar, the City generation now on sale, a Stellar twin, the Explore Stellar, and the Dash. Support’s battery chart has no row for this name. A 2023 review still shows a $749 widget, down from $1,049. A widget is not a live button.
How fast was the 2023 model?+
The claim is 21 mph. The GPS figures are 20.5 at 197 pounds and 20.6 at 165. The first sheet says 15. That year’s manual says 25 km/h, which is 15.5. The Pro sheet says 18.
Which version claims 34 miles?+
The 2023 specification table. The same review measured 15.5 miles at 197 pounds and 23 at 165. The 2022 claim was 31 miles. The first table says 12 miles. That manual says 25 to 30 kilometres. A claim is not a loop.
Is this the NIU KQi Air?+
No. The KQi Air is a carbon NIU with a US card at 26.2 pounds. Apollo used the word Air on four earlier kick scooters, then left it off the 2026 lineup. Matching the word is how the listings get mixed.
