Apollo?... size matters.

Densride

Im also looking at my first scooter. I’m 6-2″ 205 lbs and was looking at the Apollo Air Pro.

Im in Canada so Apollo has an edge. Do you think my height would be an issue. I read your review and it was not big dawg approved but Im a little smaller dawg than big dawg lol.

Are the handle bars similar in height to the Ninebot Max? Handle bar height is a concern taller the better.

The MAX and Apollo Air PRO are the 2 I’m considering but the Apollo is a lot cheaper and better ride and has better support in Canada just not sure how the fit would be.

Thanks

Here are some measurements to put those scooters into perspective:

Deck-to-handlebar distances

Apollo Air/Pro: 40 inches (101.6 cm)
Segway Max G30: 40.2 inches (102.1 cm)
Segway Max G30LP: 37.8 inches (96.0 cm)

Deck length

Apollo Air/Pro: 19.5 inches (49.5 cm)
Segway Max G30: 19.8 inches (50.3 cm)
Segway Max G30LP: 17.3 inches (43.9 cm)

Deck width

Apollo Air/Pro: 7.8 inches (19.8 cm)
Segway Max G30: 6.8 inches (17.3 cm)
Segway Max G30LP: 6.8 inches (17.3 cm)

Segway Max has slightly taller handlebars/deck width (possibly difference is rounding error), while Air/Air Pro has a bit wider deck.

Ride quality, agility, and looks are the big story with the Air / Air Pro. And its hard to beat legit local service and longer warranty. It’s a bit lighter as well.

The reason to go with the Max G30 is if you really need the range. It’s tempting on paper, but few people find they really need the range (or want to travel that far in a single trip). It’s pre-slimed tires are bomb-proof.

Both solid scooters that excel at their respective designs. I don’t recommend the G30LP (smaller Max) – I think they took away the things that really made the Max shine without adding much benefit by slightly shrinking the size and battery.

Thanks for the great reply! That answers my question.
