What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max G2

Both whitelisted outlets that hands-on tested this exact model — Tom's Guide and Notebookcheck — recommend it (Tom's Guide gave it an Editor's Choice; Notebookcheck recommends it 'without reservation'). Both praise the suspension, the comfortable long-range ride, and the turn-signal lighting, while flagging the heavy ~24 kg / 53 lb weight. Notebookcheck additionally panned the confusing, sluggish app and barebones display. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)

Praised: Suspension delivers a smooth, comfortable ride and strong handling; Large battery gives strong real-world range; Turn signals and overall lighting setup are standout features.

Flagged: Very heavy and bulky, awkward to carry up stairs or onto trains; Confusing, sluggish app plus a barebones on-board display with no odometer; One Tom's Guide review unit lost power mid-ride and threw an error before being replaced.

Apollo City

Only one whitelisted tester, Tom's Guide, published a usable hands-on Apollo City (2023) review. Reviewer Mike Prospero rode it around town for a few weeks and rates it fast, powerful and long-range, but flags a dim headlight and awkward right turn-signal placement, and notes cheaper Segway/NIU rivals match its range for about $600 less. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Fast and powerful, with strong hill-climbing (20 MPH up a 9% grade); Great real-world range; Apollo's ~23-mile Sport-mode estimate held up in testing; Comfortable ride that smooths out road imperfections via 10-inch pneumatic tires and full suspension.

Flagged: Headlight too dim for night riding; Right turn-signal button forces you to take your thumb off the throttle; Expensive - Segway/NIU rivals match the range for roughly $600 less.
