It’s a really fun scooter to be honest. It’s become my go too on my daily travels. I appreciate the compliment on the editing. I like videos with that quick to the point feel.

Thanks

Before I got my scooter, I watched a video of someone in Philadelphia who showed you need to scan the QR code they send in the box. I have an iPhone, so I’m sure you’ve seen my videos about that. Once I scanned the QR code, it paired with my scooter and it’s been connected ever since!

Thanks so much for coming by Scoot! 1400 is a big deal, and I’m so glad you could be here. I hope you have an amazing weekend! It would be so cool if we had something like the Chicago Turkey Trot, but for scooters. That would be a blast!

@@MrMotoMotivate it would. there are some pev groups who do group rides. and i've tried contacting the people who run bike the drive to allow scooters, but they are so far a hard no. approaching 5k on my original scooter, but she spends most of her time resting unless i take her out to keep the battery fresh or someone out on a ride. scoot safe!

Nossa! Que legal! Eu sigo vocês! Que legal vocês se curtirem! Eu tenho um patinete elétrico x9 e aprendi muito sobre como andar no trânsito, apesar de ser diferente aqui no Rio de Janeiro. Tem menos ciclovias e as ruas são mais estreitas. Obrigada pelos vídeos instrutivos! 👍🏼

I’d be happy to help you decide which PEV would be the best fit for your needs. Could you please share a bit more about your daily commute? Is it a short distance from public transportation, or do you have to climb hills? Also, will you use this vehicle exclusively for your commute, or will you ride it on other occasions? Do you prefer gravel or bike paths? These are just a few questions to get started. Once I have these details, I can help you make an informed decision, even if price isn’t the main factor.

I really appreciate your offer to help. I’m looking to replace my current commuter scooter - a Segway G30 Max. My commute is relatively short, a total of 5 miles round trip from home to the train station then to work (and vice versa). The commute is entirely on road only and has one minor hill. Ideally I’d like to spend less than $1500.

Ok that’s an easy recommendation. The Apollo Go Is going to be your best option. If you watch any of my videos you see I take a train to work 4 days per week. I have carried both of them on the train and I can tell you the Apollo Go will get you where you want to go in no time. Now keep in mind the go is not for distance. It’s great in small trips. If you plan to use this for work and then head out on the road then please go with the punk rider.

I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for sharing them.

Yes, it happened on my first shipped machine. They sent me a second machine, and the issue doesn’t occur anymore. It seems to have been an issue with the first machines they shipped.

@@MrMotoMotivateI’m glad you had this matter rectified by them. When did u initially purchase your scooter? If I do buy this scooter I plan to purchase it from a site like fluid free ride or something so I hope I have no issues. Again only if I buy it from them. Otherwise I’ll just get the updated leopard or gallop pro. Heavier but more power and better suspension and zoom Brakes

​@@hhova29 I bought it on March 23, 2024. Fluid wasn’t carrying the scooter then, but now that they partnered with them, quality control issues should be less frequent. If you have any problems, Fluid techs can help. If weight is a concern, stick with the Punk Rider Pro.

@@MrMotoMotivateTyvm. I do hope you’re right. Funny I heard of the quality control issues more broadly from Apollo scooters and many who claim they don’t support. Hope you’re right. An employee at my job purchased a mantis and I see them zooming by on occasion. Have to ask them about it that scooter. lol

Wanted to ask you also I’ve trade a lot about the suspension being very stiff. If I may ask a dumb question would you think one can upgrade the suspension over time or try to retro fit something to the punk pro?

Muito obrigado!

Thank you Tom! I appreciate you man.

Interesting perspective! I think you’re onto something with the idea that voters feel disconnected from the party they once relied on for labor and middle-class support. A lot of folks, especially in places like Illinois, seem frustrated that local leadership is prioritizing political aspirations over real needs at home. It’s tough when people feel overlooked by those in power, and it’s no surprise that some are looking for alternatives, even in unexpected places. As for the Democrats, the lack of an open primary does feel counterproductive. If the party wants to maintain broad support, especially with new voices gaining traction, a more transparent process would help. Your point about Newsom as a possible 2024 nominee makes sense - if they want to bring energy and something different to the ticket. Let’s see what happens, but you’re right; a lot of voters seem ready for change, both locally and nationally.

Thank you. I appreciate you stopping by!

No in our country you can ride past them. Unfortunately

I have enjoyed the scooter 🛴 up until recently it was my daily driver. The quality is as advertised. I can hit 31 and the part that really surprised 😱 me is the hill climbing and the range. I got this scooter in the middle of the winter and it has served me well. I have put over 500 miles on the scooter and it has kept up with me so far. The brakes are good but do not expect the stopping power of the hydraulic brakes. They will stop you though

Thanks for your feedback. I truly appreciate it. I’ve been hearing from reviews that on the lower modes the speeds do not reach as advertised and when I see your review/ weight I knew it would relate to me if I buy this for commuting. Aside from brakes/ suspension/ power I like the weight because compared to a g3 pro the punk would appeal more to carry on mass transit let’s say. How do you rate the rubber suspension especially in bumpy roads?

@@hhova29@hhova29 If you’ve seen my other videos, you’ll know I use the Punk Rider Pro and take it on public trains daily. It’s definitely smaller than a Kukir G3 Pro, but if you’re coming from a G3 Pro, remember that these are road tires. I have a video of my first rear tire blowout, which was a bit of a hassle. I managed to change the tire, but it’s something to consider when looking at your purchase. I’m not sure if you’ll commute by bus, boat, or train, but think about how much space you’ll have when traveling.

Thanks for your reply. I would definitely have to check out your channel and see those videos to give me more of an idea of the punk pro. I live in a metro area and when I saw this scooter I figured it would appeal for commuting. I do take mass transit/ bus, but figure in my area the g3 pro or even maybe the Austin leopard pro will appeal better for me. So you saying the maintenance will be fit with the punk? I saw a similar review that a plus is they have all the parts, but a con would be by its construction would not be easy to service.

@@hhova29 Hey, thanks for following up! Glad you're interested in checking out the channel; it will give you a good feel for how the Punk Rider Pro handles in a city environment. Living in a metro area and using mass transit, I need something portable and powerful. The Punk Rider Pro is built like a tank, which really sets it apart from scooters like the G3 Pro or Austin Leopard Pro. While they're both solid options, the Punk Pro's dual motors and sturdy frame give it an edge for city riding-especially if you're dealing with hills, traffic, or rougher roads. The power and stability are a game-changer for navigating city streets with confidence. As for maintenance, the Punk Rider Pro might be more involved in repairs because of its construction. But honestly, this will only be a big drawback if you plan to do hardcore maintenance yourself. The plus side is that parts are available if needed, which can be rare for scooters in this range. And since it's built to last, you likely won't have to worry about a lot of upkeep in the first place. If you're bringing it on the bus, the weight and portability might be considerations, but thanks to its foldability and compact frame, I've found it manageable. It's also designed with rugged tires and a solid suspension, which means you'll have a comfortable ride and less worry about sudden bumps or unexpected potholes on your commute. So, the Punk Rider Pro could be the perfect fit if you're looking for something that's built tough for the city and can handle daily transit without constant upkeep. Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about it!

I think when you spend a bit more time with the punk rider pro you might see how good it is in the rain ☔️. Btw I have been trying to find a quick charger for my Apollo go. Do you have a link I can track one down?

@@MrMotoMotivate yeah be careful though. Apollo cancelled their quick charger because they didn’t trust it. See below for the link with this charger which again is not rated or recommended by myself or Apollo Also remember to watch this charger when you get it and be very very careful. Also it will charge up go 91% max. Regular Charger (2A): • 0% to 100%: 5 hours and 12 minutes • 5% to 100%: 4 hours and 56 minutes • 10% to 100%: 4 hours and 40 minutes • 15% to 100%: 4 hours and 24 minutes • 20% to 100%: 4 hours and 8 minutes • 25% to 100%: 3 hours and 52 minutes • 30% to 100%: 3 hours and 36 minutes • 35% to 100%: 3 hours and 20 minutes • 40% to 100%: 3 hours and 4 minutes • 45% to 100%: 2 hours and 48 minutes • 50% to 100%: 2 hours and 36 minutes • 55% to 100%: 2 hours and 20 minutes • 60% to 100%: 2 hours and 4 minutes • 65% to 100%: 1 hour and 48 minutes • 70% to 100%: 1 hour and 32 minutes • 75% to 100%: 1 hour and 18 minutes • 80% to 100%: 1 hour and 2 minutes • 85% to 100%: 46 minutes • 90% to 100%: 30 minutes • 95% to 100%: 18 minutes Fast Charger (4A): • 0% to 100%: 2 hours and 36 minutes • 5% to 100%: 2 hours and 28.2 minutes • 10% to 100%: 2 hours and 20.4 minutes • 15% to 100%: 2 hours and 12.6 minutes • 20% to 100%: 2 hours and 4.8 minutes • 25% to 100%: 1 hour and 57 minutes • 30% to 100%: 1 hour and 49.2 minutes • 35% to 100%: 1 hour and 41.4 minutes • 40% to 100%: 1 hour and 33.6 minutes • 45% to 100%: 1 hour and 25.8 minutes • 50% to 100%: 1 hour and 18 minutes • 55% to 100%: 1 hour and 10.2 minutes • 60% to 100%: 1 hour and 2.4 minutes • 65% to 100%: 54.6 minutes • 70% to 100%: 46.8 minutes • 75% to 100%: 39 minutes • 80% to 100%: 31.2 minutes • 85% to 100%: 23.4 minutes • 90% to 100%: 15.6 minutes • 95% to 100%: 7.8 minutes a.co/d/6nG8hzj

So, I finally got the charger yesterday. I had forgotten to charge my Go the night before, so it was the perfect time to test it out. I really appreciate you sharing that charger with me. It works great! I plugged it into my Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station to make sure it wouldn’t cause any trouble and burn down my house. But guess what? Nothing happened! It worked exactly as advertised. I was so happy to see the Go charging in the Anker app. Thanks a bunch, Shadow!

@@MrMotoMotivateHappy I could help but still going to caution you to be careful and note let’s say your down to 50 percent and charge it for a hour and half it will charge to 91% it might show it’s at 100% but that’s an error in the Battery Management System. This charger is great for long trips where you need to stop and charge somewhere. The question now becomes what are some great scooter charging spots

@@HisShadowX Now, that’s an excellent question. Since I carry my charger and Anker in my backpack, I can conveniently charge my scooter anywhere I want. It’s fantastic to have sufficient charge to quickly get back on the road. I wonder if there’s an app similar to Tesla’s that displays charging locations. That would be incredibly valuable to our community.

When I got home, I checked the caps and had to change one because my right cap cracked. I know the end caps aren’t protected. I’ll try Gorilla Glue on my deck this weekend to see if it helps. The same thing happened on my Punk Rider Pro. Once I put Gorilla Glue on the mat, it hasn’t moved. It’s amazing how effective that stuff is.

@@MrMotoMotivate Yeah gorillla glue will keep them in place. That's what I ended up doing on my end caps as they kept falling off. Before you do that though see if you can get apollo to send you some replacement caps if you still have the warranty for the original owner. When mine broke it ended up breaking one of the lights, but I ended up getting 2 caps with a new light. Otherwise they're cheap so not a big deal if you don't.

Aww, thanks. After a few rides, I see this scooter really does rely on the regenerative brake.

My first day on the Apollo Go was a success. I kept reminding myself that it’s not a small Punk Rider Pro. I’m accustomed to zipping around at 31 mph. It takes a lot of effort to slow down to 25 mph, but the portability was incredibly convenient when I jumped on the Metra to go home today. It was definitely worth it!

Yep have to get back up and get back on. Thanks for stopping by Scoot

@@MrMotoMotivate exactly what i had to do after getting hit by a car 👀 that was many 1000s of miles ago though

Thank you! Yep, still up and kicking! good to see you

I agree that the tires need to be changed. However, I’m curious about how long you can ride on them. If the Phantom is built like the Punk Rider Pro, then yes, I’ll get it. However, that top speed of the Stellar version has my attention, although I’m still researching both.

@@MrMotoMotivate At 240 pounds going in and out of max speed you can get about 16 miles. This is what I got during the summer.

@@HisShadowX yeah I noticed the range is about what I thought it would be. It’s good for commuting around the city..i have other vehicles that will go the distance if I need it

@@GiovanniHale Yes as I mentioned a fast charger is great I also have one and use it in metra stations of stores if I noticed I am running out of juice

@@HisShadowX Where did you get yours. I will just pick one up and keep it in my bag.

Yeah I learned that the hard way. But coming from the punk rider pro the breaking is so much smoother

Yes I did send the first PUNK RIDER PRO (PRP) back to PunkElectric. Glad you asked about the return process. It was pretty easy. I made a video about the process. Customer service did respond to my request and I sent the first vehicle back due to the vehicle shut off to often. Would I recommend the PRP? yes I would but ensure you know what you are getting yourself into. The vehicle is fast and gets up to speed quickly. If you want to see it in action, just watch a few of my videos. Next make sure you are ok with the weight. Finally calculate the cost of the tire changes as you will need to change tires

@@GiovanniHale Thank you for the reply. Regarding the "tire changes". Do you mean the tire changes in general, or do you actually have to change the factory tires right from the jump...because they suck? The tire changing maintenance is my biggest hesitation, because I'm always hearing about how much of a pain on the a** it is to change a tire on a scooter. Thanks again!

You’re very welcome! I meant the actual tire change. I don’t think you need to change them when you first get the scooter. I believe you should get used to using the scooter first. Then, after you get used to it, I might consider tire changes. But the tire change takes about an hour and a half, maybe two hours. My caution to you is to make sure you consider that you’ll need to take very small screws out because it’s a split rim. Other than that, the tire change itself wasn’t horrible. It just took longer than I expected. If you have some apprehension about the tires, I might consider looking at some other options. But based on the diameter of the tires, I didn’t find many options that fit on the scooter. You may find something else.

First off let’s say congratulations is certainly in order. Yes you can change it by gear 1-3 in the app. It’s a horrible app because they are using an app that is used by other companies so it’s a bit strange but it does work as long as you have a Bluetooth connection. If it ever starts to close on you. Just close the app and reopen it. It works every time . Did you record the unboxing?

Hmm what I mean is for example I want gear 1 max speed 10 mph gear 2 15mph and gear 3 mph. Apollo has spoiled me with the ability to edit my speed settings

​@@HisShadowX Unfortunately, until the company releases its own app, we won’t have the level of detail were looking for. For now, we’ll have to work with our limited information. The top speed for each gear is as follows: gear 1 is 13 mph, gear 2 is 20 mph, and gear 3 is 32 mph. I can confirm that these are the exact speeds.

@@GiovanniHale thanks for the info. So I was able to limit the device to 20mph. I’ll say this in terms of the Apollo Go turning feels better on the go and the electric breaks. Mine gave out when I was testing this in Hines, Illinois today. It went from being extremely powerful to weak. I haven’t had it cut off in my just yet but I seen that was a major problem for people. The rear foot mat is coming off and it just came like that I never used that part of the scooter. The power button was literally falling off I had to push it back in. The scooter looks very nice but I am not a fan of the turning. Overall I don’t think I’ll be returning the scooter but I am going to be cautious when riding this scooter

@@HisShadowX I will admit it does take some time to get used to that turn, but once you get into the lean you will become a natural. Just trust me on that one. You have to take it out for a distance ride. Are you thinking of doing it this weekend?

For me I thought the Apollo Go was a solid choice. I guess I just have to buy it to make sure I am right

@@MrMotoMotivateHmm. It sounds like you really want the Apollo Go. I think you try it. Honestly it’s a great choice tire changes just suck but overall i am not throwing away my Apollo Go. Also a thread I started on Apollo’s reddit got them to change so things for the new Phantom which will not price gouge purchasers. Take a look at Apollo Phantom the new one coming out.

@@HisShadowX I was looking at the stellar version. I have to look it over again to see how it compares. The components look good on it.

In January 2024, I began riding my scooters. My first scooter was a Niu KQI 2. I had never driven an electric vehicle before that day. I've learned a few things about braking. On the Punk Rider Pro, I usually use the rear brake. However, when I need to make a quick stop, I use both the front and rear drum brakes. Even with the rear drum brake, it has a long stopping distance in the rain.

@@MrMotoMotivate So it sounds like both me and you got started riding at the same time. I essentially, right after that cold front that we had, where it was, what, negative 15 or 20, right when some of that snow melted in January, that’s when I started riding. I had already bought my vehicle, and I sort of had to wait. Now, I had something sort of similar to yours, your first one. The only difference was I did not have, it looks like, I think that one has regen braking. I didn’t have that. It was like one of the older pros of another brand from at least a year and a half ago. And it was extremely outdated now. But the only good thing about it was it had shocks. So when you went over something, it didn’t feel as bad. Okay, so I think I’m going to do what you recommend and, well, not what you recommend, but what you’re saying you use the rear brakes, because I think that’s the smart move, because you hit those front brakes, and you end up going over the handlebars when it lifts the rear up. And that’s actually what happened to me once. And keep in mind, that was a hyper scooter that went up to 50 miles an hour, and it completely malfunctioned. Okay, thanks for the information, man. I’m really looking forward to getting the Punk Rider. Unfortunately, they just delayed it until Sunday, but I think we’re getting rain this weekend, so I’ll have to test this out next week.

Not yet. I typically use it as my last mile commute.

@@GiovanniHaleI am going to have to test this scooter out when I get it. Already planned my trip. The ten hour charge sounds awful I would check to see if there is a super charger for it but since this scooter is not UL Certified I think I’ll hold off on that

@@HisShadowX Yeah that long charge is not a fun time at all.

It was about 72 that day

@@GiovanniHaleOh so warm. Thats pretty good. Mileage is looking good on that machine. Can’t wait to hit the trails at night and commuting to work

What? OMG 😱 are you ok. That can be dangerous. How did they get stuck?

I have no clue i was riding normally i pressed down on my regen brake to slow down coming up on a turn snd they just aggressively locked up i had to push it home with it making a rubbing noise and now it makes a knocking noise when i turn the scooter on or hit the brakes its unridable now until i get it replaced or they tell me how to fix it

It just wont deactivate at all im kind of wishing i didnt get a scooter with this feature now

@@HisShadowX yes I work in the West Loop so i take the train in everyday. How has it handled the streets so far? I have been so on the fence about the GO, if it can handle like a 225lb rider. Or will it feel like a toy…so just been on the fence.

@@GiovanniHale when I got the Apollo Go I was 250. I am now 225 and rode in 30 degree weather. I have owned three scooters so far and I ordered the Punk Rider Pro today due to the fact tire changes look WAY easier. The worst part of the Go is the fact it barely has any shocks and yeah you’ll feel every bump. Early last month I had a huge wipe out on 16th Ave due to small pothole. Everyone likes the Go it’s easy to pick up and yeah I have rode it down 16th Ave from where it begins to ends. I have rode Cermack from Oak Brook Mall to Westchester and it rides good people said it literally looks like I am flying.

@@GiovanniHale one more thing to add is the tire changes are hell and also the app does have a glitch to where the speed won’t match to the app when you first get it. You just factory reset your scooter and this issue fixes itself

@@HisShadowX Well i will say with the punk rider pro. when i changed the back tire when it popped on me it was pretty easy. Total cost was about 250 for the tire. Motor was just fine. Keep in mind the punk rider pro is certainly going to be heavier then the go and faster. I would love to join you on a ride if you up for that type of thing.

@@GiovanniHaleThe Go isn’t ready for that type of ride sadly. I’m waiting in the Punk Rider to ship out. I definitely recommend checking out the Salt Creek trail it’s an amazing path I haven’t ridden that from Oak Brook to Brookfield but I might try it out with the punk rider. I also highly recommend looking for scooter groups I know up north they do have riding clubs

I think there might be one, but after the app update, things work much smoother.

Yes it was typically a full charge. I learned after working with the support team that you are not to use the Regen throttle while the vehicle is fully charged. Since finding that out and modifying my riding behavior. It’s a non issue!

@@MrMotoMotivate that’s great to hear! On the Apollo GO they also have a warning about not using regen brake lever until you’re below 90%. I didn’t even think about that with this scooter. It sounds like that power off behavior is basically a protection mechanism. Great info.

@@PaulMathias1 I would say if you can find it used. I would go with that. They are great. If you can deal with the weight you will certainly be rewarded with a reliable mode of transportation.

I'm in the process of changing the rear wheel tire it's been hell trying to get the tire in. Bought some zip ties and big jaw pliers should be here today 😢 body sore

@@deathswaitingroom9841 Wow, I haven’t changed the rear tire yet. I’ve heard people say tire changes can be difficult. Let me know how long it takes.

I made a video about what I had to do when that started happening to me. Yes I still use my punk rider pro for my daily commute

@@MrMotoMotivate is it the replacement already?

@@makusadventure6130 yes it has been replaced. Once I got the second scooter i do not experience it as much. It normally cuts off only when I push the vehicle too fast on wet ground

Can you tag the video that you posted?

Punk Rider Pro| Exchange & Refund Process Explained ua-cam.com/video/qzmec43CIoc/v-deo.html

Please let me know when yours arrives. I’m sure you will enjoy it

I experience this with the single hub motor Using it for 8km a day, it happens when im going home and my commute includes climbing a bridge But when I replaced with Dual hub..Never had any issue. Single hub is only for very short disbtances and any climbing ( can be done) is not recommended for single hub( power issue)

My vehicle would turn off when two actions happened repeatedly. First, during rain when I take off, the wheels start spinning, causing the vehicle to turn off to combat the wheel spin. Second, when going downhill and using regenerative braking, the vehicle would turn off. To combat this issue, I use the drum brakes when going downhill and put the vehicle in gear 2 or turn the starting torque down. This has only happened a handful of times, and I’m under 500 miles on the vehicle.

Thank you. It is deeper journey then you can image. It will change your life. Just trust me on that one 1️⃣

I can reach a speed of 32 kilometers per hour while in second gear. I am 6 feet 1 inch tall and weigh 230 pounds without gear.
