When to Change the Front or Rear Suspension on Your Apollo GoUpdated 5 hours ago

Suspension maintenance is crucial for a smooth and safe ride on your Apollo Go. Unlike parts with strict mileage guidelines, suspension wear depends heavily on rider weight, terrain, riding style, and speed. There’s no exact “number” for when to replace your front or rear suspension - it’s mostly about how the scooter feels during use.

Signs You May Need to Inspect or Replace Suspension

• Excessive stiffness or discomfort: If the scooter feels harsh over bumps or rough terrain, the suspension may be worn.

• Scooter instability: Uneven bouncing or poor shock absorption indicates potential suspension issues.

• Component damage: Inspect springs and other suspension components for visible wear, cracks, or deformation.

  • Front suspension: Look for damage to the spring or strut.

  • Rear suspension: Check if the rear is bottoming out too easily.

Preventive Measures to Extend Suspension Life

• Regular lubrication: Keep moving parts well-lubricated to reduce wear over time.

• Safe riding habits: Avoid extreme unsafe bumps (especially at high speed), potholes, and curbs that could damage the suspension.

• Terrain awareness: Roots and small obstacles are generally fine, but ride cautiously on rougher paths.

Key Takeaway

Suspension replacement is a combination of observation and preventive care. Regular checks, safe riding, and proper maintenance will help keep your Apollo Go comfortable and reliable without waiting for a strict mileage threshold.
