Compare the Minimotors Dualtron Mini and the Apollo Light

Electric scooters have steadily risen in popularity, with brands like Minimotors and Apollo leading the charge. In particular, we're going to look at the Minimotors Dualtron Mini and the Apollo Light - two compact and highly efficient models in the market.

First up, the Minimotors Dualtron Mini boasts its striking power despite its smaller size, reaching a top speed of 45 km/h, significantly more significant than the Apollo Light's 35 km/h. While both models offer excellent range, the Dualtron Mini has a slight edge, providing up to 45 km on a single charge, compared to Apollo Light’s slightly lower 35 km.

The two models differ significantly in terms of weight capacities as well. The Apollo Light can handle up to 100 kg, while the Dualtron Mini is much more robust, supporting up to 120 kg. However, this additional strength means the Dualtron Mini is equally heavier, potentially making it more challenging to carry around.

When considering comfort and suspension, the Apollo Light takes a lead. The Apollo model comes with spring suspension that provides a very smooth ride, while the Dualtron Mini's rubber suspension could be a bit harsher on rough terrains. However, the latter's 9-inch pneumatic tyres do offer significant shock absorption.

The two scooters’ braking system is where they could not be more different. Apollo Light uses a mechanical drum brake, believed to be safer in wet conditions, while Dualtron Mini uses a regenerative electronic brake system that helps extend battery life.

Lastly, Apollo offers 24-month warranty assistance, while Minimotors provides 12-month warranty, half the duration. Therefore, in terms of ongoing support, Apollo Light might be a safer choice.
