What does this mean for riders?
The Apollo Pro has a wheel diameter of 12", 20% above the 325-scooter average of 10.02" — better than roughly 67% of comparable scooters.
The Apollo Pro comes equipped with 12.0" wheels, a size that strikes a balance between stability and maneuverability. In practical terms, these larger-diameter tires roll more smoothly over cracks, gravel and other small obstacles you’ll encounter on city streets or light trails. Riders will notice fewer jolts and a steadier feel when hitting uneven pavement, making for a more comfortable ride over longer distances.
At the same time, 12.0" wheels require a bit more effort to turn sharply compared to smaller wheels, so tight, technical maneuvers at low speeds may feel less nimble. The increased wheel size also means the scooter sits a touch higher off the ground, which can make mounting and dismounting slightly less straightforward for riders who prefer a low deck. Storage and transport may call for a bit more cabin clearance if you’re fitting the folded scooter into a car trunk or carrying it up stairs.
These 12.0" wheels are particularly well suited to riders who prioritize a cushioned, stable ride—commuters covering mixed surfaces, taller individuals seeking a more forgiving deck height, and anyone who often encounters rough pavement or light off-road paths. If you’re looking for added comfort over bumpy ground without stepping up to full off-road tires, the Apollo Pro’s 12.0" wheels deliver a solid middle ground.

Frequently Asked Questions — Apollo Pro
A wheel diameter around 9–10 inches is considered a sweet spot for electric scooters. It balances stability and comfort (midsize 9.85-inch average) while keeping weight manageable. Urban commuters often prefer this range to handle minor road imperfections without sacrificing portability. Larger 12–15-inch wheels offer smoother rides but add bulk.
Larger wheel diameters increase an e-scooter’s overall size and weight, which can add up to 20 pounds for 13–15-inch setups like the Dualtron X Limited. That extra bulk makes folding, lifting and storing more cumbersome compared to 6–8-inch wheel scooters, which typically weigh under 30 pounds and stow easily.
No, maintenance needs remain largely the same. Tire pressure checks, tread inspections and occasional puncture repairs apply to any wheel size. Larger 14–15-inch tires may take slightly longer to remove or install, but they don’t require additional service intervals compared to 6–7-inch tires on smaller models.
