Hey Jack - thanks for the review here! As mentioned by email, this unit that you purchased isn't even a V5, it's an early pre-production model that was sent to UL to be tested. Unfortunately it was illegally sold on Craigslist. Just want to re-iterate, it's incredibly unsafe to ride a unit like this, that wasn't made for riding (just to electrical testing), hence the front spring issues and water issues. Would be happy to work together and get you a better unit for future reviews, but please be careful riding this + not worthy of comparison due it being a very early model. Last note, always important to consider long term durability of scooters, accessible repairs/servicing network and parts when choosing an electric scooter! Thanks :-)

Hmm, I remember that someone told me it was basically a V5. I'm happy to work together, this scooter is extremely comfortable to ride. I just wish it was in better condition.

I bought a go. And the front wheel wobbles when I brake 20 mph n above. It won’t slow down. They told be it’s supposed to do that. Apollo needs to take accountability

bring it to a wheel shop or a bike shop get a certified opinion. Its probably a user error. mine does 25 over rubble just fine with slight wobble and i have not done maintenace in 2 weeks so thats my fault. @mikehagquist5198

Hey Jack! Thanks for the epic review! About that suspension-no worries, we've got a beefier one for hardcore riders like you, haha. If anyone else runs into similar issues, just hit us up for a changeable heavy-duty suspension cartridge . We just don't want our ride to get too stiff, you know? If you're a bit on the heavier side, we've got you covered. And guess what? Our USA support team is ready to assist any punk rider who needs help. We totally dig your review! 🤘

@Punkelectriccorp that's funny I have contacted you guys for suspension options and you told me it there is only I quote "regular one". Although it needed like 4 emails to get an answer for one question. Seems to me that there is and will be only the "regular one" so don't tell reviewer's that there will be more suspension options available, because there won't be. And yes there are issues with punk rider pro, it will shut it's self down in driving, which is very unsettling.

I was torn between these two. Glad I went with the Punk. For about a third of the price the differences vanish and to see that front coil give out like that on the Apollo seems like a design flaw and is crazy considering the price. I'll save my money until Apollo refines the Pro and I can justify the price.
@justinmah7778

Not really a fair comparison considering that it was an Apollo prototype model V4 (I believe, according to Apollo). The suspension isn't just coil anymore, it's hydraulic suspension + coil, and the rubber cartridge in the rear has been updated to be stronger (doesn't bottom out so easily). I haven't seen any production models have their suspension break like in the video here. The Apollo Pro production model is refined compared to the one used here.

Apollo Pro owner here... whatever that is you were riding, is not even close to the REAL, final production model. And I gotta say, whoever sold that to ya scammed you big time, unless you got it for like, a hundred bucks. I see Apollo has offered to work with you to try and get you a 'real' Apollo Pro... when you do get to try/review it, I hope you remove this unhelpful/misleading review.

Yeah, I got an Apollo Pro myself and was thinking the same thing you said, his unit isn't close to the final production model. I haven't had any issues with mines at all and I've had it for quite some time. Hope he gets the opportunity to get/review the production model.

@@xXC0deZer0Xx lol... I could tell it was all wrong as soon as he showed it on the kickstand, with both tires touching the ground(or floor, not watching again)... then, when he showed the broken front end, it explained how both wheels could be in contact at once. There was an interesting discussion in last week's Apollo Live about this whole mess here... the chat part never stays on their KZitem Live sessions but, even without seeing my comment that got the topic started, you can here the real explanation as to what's going on with this guy here. its worth a watch... plus, you should be tuning in every Friday for the live... you can find then on the "Apollo Scooters" channel.

The comparison between the two scooters is not the same, different power and cost, plus I HATE apollo !! As for stronger braking on the apollo it has stronger motors that is the difference and regardless of Ip rating they aren’t submarines.

*LOVE THIS REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Great comparison of the Apollo and Punk Rider :) I love my Apollo 2024 Dual Motor. I love the Apollo channel as well as they saved me alot of money. So many STEP BY STEP tutorials I used one of the tutorials to repair my Dual Motor. I dropped my Apollo on to its handle and severed couple throttle wires in the handle assembly. Not under warranty. So I disassembled handled via there great tutorial. I took apart and soldered the 2 wires that were severed. Back on the road in an hour! I always use my regen rarely use my reg brakes :) ... *Cheers😊IcloneFun🤗*
