A green ✓ marks the better figure on that row. “—” means the manufacturer does not publish it; a blank is never counted as a loss. Scores compare each model within its own category.

What the makers don't publish

Apollo does not publish peak power for the Apollo Dash — 1 of the 15 specifications we track. Hiboy does not publish tyre size for the Hiboy Titan — 1 of the 15 specifications we track. We show a dash for each of those rather than estimate, and a missing figure is never counted against a scooter in our scoring — the component is dropped and the remaining weights renormalise. Because both sheets have holes, several rows of the table above cannot be compared at all, so treat this as a comparison of what is published rather than a complete picture. If one of the unpublished figures is the one your decision turns on, ask the seller in writing before you buy: a maker that measures a specification usually states it, and silence is a reasonable prompt to look harder.

Motor & speed

The Hiboy Titan is the faster of the pair, 28 mph against 21 mph — a 7 mph gap that shows on open stretches but rarely in traffic, where junctions and shared paths set the pace regardless of what the scooter can do. At the Titan's speeds, braking matters more than the extra miles per hour: check the build section below, because stopping distance climbs faster than speed does. Motor output is broadly matched, so neither will feel dramatically stronger pulling away from a stop. Read any top-speed figure as a maximum reached under ideal conditions; rider weight and gradient both pull it down in the real world, so treat these numbers as a ceiling rather than a cruising promise.

Battery & range

Battery capacity is the honest way to compare range, because watt-hours cannot be marketed around: the Dash holds 480 Wh and the Titan 864 Wh. The Hiboy Titan's 80% larger pack will out-last the other on the same route whatever the two brochures claim, and it is the single number to trust most in this section. Both claims deserve the usual discount. The Dash's 25-mile figure realistically works out to about 14–18 miles once you account for a normal rider at real speeds; the Titan's 46 lands at roughly 25–32. Plan around the lower end of whichever band matters to you: if your daily round trip does not fit inside it with margin to spare, the range difference here is the deciding factor and you should pick the bigger battery. Recharging also differs: the Apollo Dash is back to full in about 5 hours against 7, which matters if you top up between a morning and evening commute rather than overnight. Whichever you choose, remember that both figures assume a fresh battery; a pack loses roughly 20–30% of its capacity after a couple of years of daily cycling, so a used example of either will fall short of these numbers.

Build & ride

Weight is where the daily reality lives: 43 lb against 77.1 lb, a 34.1 lb difference. If you carry the scooter up stairs or onto a train, the lighter Apollo Dash is the one you will actually keep using — the difference between a scooter that gets ridden and one that gathers dust is often a single flight of steps. Only the Hiboy Titan has suspension at both ends, the single upgrade that most changes how a scooter feels on cracked city pavement; the other leans on its tyres to take the edge off, which works but not as well. Each publishes a water-resistance rating (IP66 and IPX4); the higher of the two shrugs off heavier rain, though neither should be ridden through standing water or pressure-washed. Braking favours the Hiboy Titan, whose hydraulics are stronger and more consistent at the lever than the other's setup — the specification that matters most as speed rises, and worth prioritising over almost any other feature on a fast scooter.

Price, score & value

The Apollo Dash is the cheaper of the two, $649 against $900 — a $251 gap. Whether that gap is worth closing depends entirely on whether the pricier scooter's advantages above line up with your priorities. Within their category the Hiboy Titan scores higher (60/100 to 47/100). Remember that our scores are within-category judgements — this comparison is only meaningful because both sit in the same or an adjacent class. If value per dollar is your lens, use the cost-of-ownership calculator on this site: a slightly cheaper scooter with pneumatic tyres can cost more to run over a few years than a pricier one on solid tyres, and the sticker price alone hides that.

What the extra $251 buys

What these numbers actually govern

Here is what each of these measures controls in general — both the ones that separate these two and the ones they share. These describe the measure, not a claim about how either scooter rides, which we have not tested.

claimed range

Every claimed range figure is measured at a light rider weight, a low constant speed and on flat ground, which is why we show a computed real-world band beside it.

battery capacity

Watt-hours are the single best predictor of range, because capacity is the one range input that cannot be marketed around.

weight

Weight decides the moments off the scooter: carrying it up a flight of stairs, lifting it onto transit, loading it into a car boot.

nominal power

Nominal power describes sustained output: it shows up in acceleration and in holding speed on a long climb rather than in a higher top speed.

brakes

Hydraulic discs are more consistent at the lever than mechanical discs, and drums trade outright stopping power for lower maintenance — a difference that grows with speed.

Tyre type (both tubeless)identical on both

Pneumatic and tubeless tyres absorb road imperfections that solid tyres pass into the deck; solid tyres trade that comfort for never puncturing. A shared construction means the same trade on both.

Drive (both Single motor)identical on both

A second motor adds traction and acceleration at the cost of weight and battery drain. Where both use the same arrangement, drive layout is not a separator.

Price & where to buy

Who should buy which

Buy the Apollo Dash if you carry it up stairs or onto transit (43 lb vs 77.1 lb — a decisive 44% edge), or you want more sustained power (1200 W vs 750 W — a decisive 38% edge). Buy the Hiboy Titan if your trips are longer and range decides it (46 mi vs 25 mi claimed — a decisive 46% edge), or you want the bigger battery (864 Wh vs 480 Wh — a decisive 44% edge). Whichever you pick, 3 specifications are identical across both — voltage, tyre type, drive — so those rows cannot decide it. Within their category our score puts the Hiboy Titan at 60/100 against 47/100.

Bottom line: the Hiboy Titan is the safer default here — it claims more range (46 mi vs 25 mi). The Apollo Dash earns its place if lighter to carry (43 lb vs 77.1 lb) matters more to you. Every figure here is the manufacturer's published claim or a value we compute from it, linked back to each maker's own specification so you can check it yourself.
