Apollo rating notes

Apollo lists range as a travel distance in Eco mode. Its estimates assume an average rider at a steady pace, and Apollo does not list that rider's weight. The City 2.0 is the only scooter here with two listed ranges: up to 40 miles in ideal conditions and around 32 miles in everyday commuting.

The max load in the manufacturer's manual is the limit for the rider and everything carried. The manufacturer's product page and owner's manual govern where they differ from this page. Some manufacturers word the rating as max rider weight or payload.

The other manufacturers are in the full scooter table.
