Comparing the GOTRAX GMAX Ultra and Apollo City Electric Scooters: Which One Fits Your Lifestyle?
When it comes to electric scooters, choosing the right one can often be a challenge. In this article, we will be comparing two popular models, the GOTRAX GMAX Ultra and the Apollo City. Both scooters are highly rated, durable and built for commuting, but there are definitely differences that might make one more suitable for your needs than the other.
Starting with the GOTRAX GMAX Ultra, this electric scooter's primary strength lies in its impressive range. It boasts an incredible 45 miles on a single charge, making it perfect for long commutes. It's also designed with a powerful 350W motor ensuring a maximum speed of about 20 mph. Added features like a large deck for comfortable commuting, 10-inch pneumatic tires, and a digital display enhances the riding experience. However, it lacks in its weight capacity, accommodating users only up to 220 lbs.
On the other hand, the Apollo City might not have the same range as the GMAX Ultra, but it offers added performance features making it particularly smooth to ride in urban environments. Its 28 miles range is still sufficient for most urban commuters. The motor capability is higher at 600W, offering a slightly faster speed of 25 mph. Unlike the GMAX Ultra, the Apollo City can support riders up to 265 lbs. Plus it has additional handbrake and footbrake, which are particularly helpful in providing extra safety.
In terms of pricing, the GOTRAX GMAX Ultra comes in at a more affordable rate than the Apollo City, making it a good option for those on a budget. The Apollo City, though pricier, boasts more features, power, and durability, worth considering if the budget is less of a concern.
In summary, if range is your major consideration, the GOTRAX GMAX Ultra leads the pack. But if you are heavy-set and looking for more speed with sufficient range, then the Apollo City with its additional safety features might be a better fit.
