Australian rules
Legality is state dependent
Mearth RS: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Apollo Go 2024: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.
Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.
Quick answers
Mearth RS vs Apollo Go 2024 FAQs
Which is better for hills?
The Apollo Go is the stronger hill choice on paper because it combines dual motors with suspension and traction-focused tyres.
Which has more range?
ScootFinder estimates about 45 km for the Mearth and 40 km for the Apollo. Actual distance depends on speed, load and terrain.
Which is easier to buy in Australia?
Apollo sells directly through its Australian store. Mearth's own store was offline when checked on 4 October 2026 and iScoot showed the RS sold out, so confirm stock first.
