I really think that this scooter is going to be a blueprint for even better commuter scooters to come. You have the Apollo app that with a paid subscription your scooter can be tracked and turned off I believe by Apollo..... Self.healing tires......stats, analytics and service setup all in the app....very smooth and stable ride....bigger tires handle rough roads better.....regenerative brakes help you save your drum brakes which means less maintenance.....you also have a LOTess going on aesthetically with this scooter.....there aren't a whole bunch of wires and buttons all over the place. Setup is clean and efficient. .....so much more....but the lighting on the Pro is so sickkkk you can customize colors for the stem....deck....signals and braking.... Lol all of those functions can have their own color...... This just helps break up the monotony of the scooter and keeps it looking fresh and clean......
Thanks for watching! So glad that I could help you purchase this phenomenal scooter. Use some Lithium spray lubricant and spritz a little in the crevasses by the fender and drum brake assembly. Once I did that the noise went away. Also if you ride in rain you need to make sure to wipe down the scooter after ..... I've been applying a bit of WD-40 after drying to remove any excess moisture and then I spray lube the front spring bolts.....drum brake assembly and I side the folding mech as well. You don't want parts to get super dry or rust. I'm not exactly sure exactly where.the noise is coming from but lubing that front area a bit should remedy the issue. I'm gonna do a follow up review soon please stay tuned.
Pro owner here... (63, M, 180 lbs.) Purchased on IndieGoGo... $3,500 US... Pricing is a little different now, as it does NOT include the iOT unit, nor the quad lock 'charging mount'... but those are available for purchase, with relatively easy installation. First e-scooter I've ever ridden/owned. Not wanting to kill myself, I have been building up speed as I feel comfortable, currently set max speed is 50 km/h. Have received and installed the new latch, and that FREE upgrade also includes a new grip tape just for the tail. (new orders will already have those upgrades off the line). As for power, more than enough for my old bones. lol. The only hill test I've done, was back when I had it set for 35 km/h max. Long hill, approximately 20-25 degrees... held top speed effortlessly, and stopping for a restart mid hill, it easily(quickly, zoomed back up to max(35 km/h). I too, find the suspension a tiny bit firm, being 60 lbs lighter than you. I have the front shock set to minimum. The app has worked flawlessly for me(Apple 14 Pro Max), except for one time, this morning, actually. Popped into a convenience store with the scooter only software locked(Park)... when I came out, it didn't connect, and wanted my Apollo password to unlock it, which, I had forgotten since I use facial recognition for security, but it gave me the option to have a code emailed, which came instantly, and worked flawlessly. (also, re: the app, the newest update is now out, but so far, just for Android... Apple is about 3 to 4 weeks away, if I recall correctly). Only had one "fall"... can't really call it a crash or a wipeout, since I was just slow speed maneuvering while cornering sharply between closely spaced bollards. No damage to the scooter, or me, lol, except the left signal cover did crack and scuff up, but it still works as designed. Oh, on that point, the Pro(now?) comes with two spare signal covers in the toolkit. So far, the only tool I've had to add to the included kit was another set of Allen keys, since the latch replacement required two 5mm keys. On that topic, the included, free toolkit, which comes in a very nicely organized case, includes the following... Hand air pump, with a separate 7-8 inch extender. Wheel wrench.(double ended 45 degree handle, with separate socket). Allen key set. COMPLETE set of ALL screws, bolts, etc, with a nice set of drawings and description of where each one goes, and exact specs of each one if you need to replace it. Oh, and of course, the two spare signal covers. My only (minor) issues with the toolkit are... no tire gauge, and, from watching, just for amusement, a lot of their maintenance/repair vids, it seems more than one job(the latch replacement, for example), require two of the same size Allen keys, so a second set would be good to include. Regen braking seems pretty effective, but then again, 60 lbs less than yourself. PLUS, you must remember, I have nothing to compare ANY of this to, since this is the only scooter I've ever ridden.(not even a little kick scooter when I was a kid, but, I'm an avid mountain biker, and used to ride high speed skateboards when I was younger). Not sure if I had anything more to respond to from your vid, but I will skim through again and edit this to include anything I forgot. Anyone considering this, or any Apollo scooter, who may have questions you want the company to answer, can tune into their weekly RU-vid Live, and ask away. It runs every Friday, at 11:30 pm, Mountain time(my time zone, lol). Again, with no other reference, I have no problem with highly recommending this scooter.✌🏼🇨🇦
I'm looking for a scooter upgrade and so far this is what I'm leaning towards, as far as the screw issues I've learned with might is use LOCKTITE soon as you get the scooter
I am 💯 good with black. I heard they are rolling out new colors in June/July. It’s a great “value” play at $299 when comparing to other ultra light down jackets (TNF, MHW, Arc’teryx, etc).
Congrats for the video. A kind question: In your opinion, are the handlebars too high for a 1.70 m person? I would need to know the height from the footboard to the steering knob to be aware of this.
You should be able to acquire.rhis info via the website. I have since sold my Kaabo so I cannot.give you exact.numbers...if your under 6ft up to about 6'2 or so you should be fine. I'm a pinch under 6ft for reference. Thanks for watching!!!
Complimenti per il video. Vorrei farvi qualche domanda sul monopattino in questione. Mi saprebbe dire cortesemente l'altezza effettiva dalla pedana alla maniglia e il peso (ma non quelle dichiarate dal produttore perche' spesso non corrispondo ) ?
Check out the Lifa Infinity Jacket I reviewed a month ago in blue. It employs Helly Hansen's proprietary Helly Tech fabric which is supossedto work just like Gore Tex. They have sales on ALL kinds of Gore jackets....their not all break the bank pieces. Thanks for watching!
Google the scooter so that you can see.the options of where to buy and the cost.....I'm not giving shout-out to the company because their customer service was poor...lol
I agree but really how much interaction are you gonna have with the screen? Does the Segway have a app? As long as I can see my stats post ride via an app I'm good... Lol.. Thanks for watching.
The touch screen is inconvenient, the kaabo has a new display with nfc, while only on mantis x, but I think it can soon be bought for other models - judging by the power settings in the display of 48.60.72 - it can be put on other models-it is chic.
Not yet but I haven't had a chance to test in a downpour. May pre test in the shower to see what the soak in time is ... Will def update this now since you've brought it to my attention ..... For this price there should be no soak in.
I just ordered this same jacket/color in womens cheaper from Arcteryx Regear.A great way to buy product cheaper with lots of life. Like I am not going to scuff a jacket!
Thank you for making this video and please keep them coming. I don't own any Apollo Scooter as their way too expensive for what I could get (in my opinion) for the money but I do like their products though especially in Aesthetics, I believe design-wise they make the most beautiful scooter (yet) and they are leaps and bounds in terms of app integration plus, from what I've heard, hands down best in customer support/service. Hence I understand the hefty price tag Not here to argue which is better but I got a Maxfun 10 pro and in terms performance per dollar-wise it blows Apollo Pro out of the water however I do understand why Apollo still has a big following regardless - just like in the mobile space, when there's an Apple, there'll always be an Android vice versa.
Thank you for watching. Glad the video could help. You can purchase these scooters through Affirm and Klarna which will allow you to pay in installments if that's makes life easier. Hope you can get a scooter and experience the joy of "scooter life"...
The shell is surprisingly weather resistant. Wind deflection and the way it sheds rain is very surprising but then again it isn't. NEVER think because a Arc'teryx piece is down that it can't endure a good amount of rain and wind. I've worn Cerium LT down hoodies that beads rain water up better than most shells...lol it's on sale now for $450....grey buy if it's your style. Thanks for watching.
The average guy1983 added some rubber to his damper to make it better. His video on the process is insightful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AQREk69WKVs.htmlsi=7DdYbIL0-Sd_CShJ
I had gotten the inmotion rs lite (midnight edition from voro motors) about 6-7 weeks ago and had a minor crash, so the front deck lights and front motor had stopped working and then they sent me a free controller to try and fix the error, but that hadn't worked so I emailed them again 2 weeks ago and they are sending me a free control hub thingy and hopefully that'll work. I had also experienced speed wobbles at 45 mph+ (I weigh 170 lbs). I did see a video from the average guy 1983 on a solution to the steering damper though for under $20 or so. I think the scooter is pretty good and worth the price, but the only complaint I had with it was how long it took for them to email me back or to find a solution to my problem, but they did send the parts in for free within 60 days of buying the scooter, so I think that balances out my complaint. I also don't think there are any scooters that are better for the price currently and even though I got to only ride the scooter with the back motor working, it is sooooo much fun to ride, so if you are thinking of buying another scooter than this one, I would save up a little more and get the kaabo wolf king gt pro, just cause the battery is bigger and I think it might be better for offroading (I did offroading on the inmotion and I would definitely recommend buying offroad tires if you are planning on riding in loose gravel, cause it got hard to handle and was exhausting with the twist throttle and I will be buying the thumb throttle from the inmotion website (riding in grass is just fine with this scooter))
@@flarepugzzz4883 dealing with Voro is a nightmare. On the surface everyone is nice but nothing happens in a timely fashion. Voro was my first PEV experience and not a good one but at least Melvin called me to fix the issue (Kaabo GTR) and he issued a full refund which was appropriate for my situation. Hope you have better luck than I did.
It's a solid heavy scooter. It may be a bit much for you. If your a reasonably fit person you should be able to ride and carry it around. Without knowing your strength and physical makeup I wouldn't be able to say with certainty. If you can lift 80l s then you should be fine.
That's a very good question.....I can't be sure without knowing if your riding a scooter right now....if so, what is the height of your current stem? 5'6 riders in my mind would need to concentrate on this because your substantially shorter....I'm 6ft so you may be right at the borderline of what is a acceptable rider height for your height. I would just base your decision on the sizing of your current scooter. Of you don't have ancooter then you will have to take a test ride. Thanks again for watching...
It will be pretty tough without a baseball cap or beanie .. the hoods drawcord pulls more from the sides and doesn't really pull the front top of the hood back like a hood that's engineered correctly.
@@GearWave last question are you familiar with the marmot Stockholm jacket, I have that one already how does this compare ? I was looking for something a little lighter
Sorry my math was backwards.....i ride 10 miles at 240 lbs and i deplete the scooter battery down to 70 or 75% which means 10 miles is roughly 1/4 of rhe battery so you should be abke to get 40 miles of range from a.charge (these numbers are based off of me riding in Ludo Mode which ks fastest mode the scooter has to offer.)
I just put about 20 miles (30kms) on my 2023 Apollo Phantom (the Pro's little brother), and I'm 195lbs + ~10 lbs of gear & backpack. I use the regen brakes 100% of the time, but I put a set of hydraulics on it for emergency stops at high speeds. Regen is incredible (always set to max 10) for *planned* stops but high speed immediate stops, you need actual brakes. It's got about 1400 miles on the odometer so far (2350 kms). I'm definitely planning on getting a Pro soon. I want it so I can ride in the rain (my Phantom is IP54, only 'splash-proof'). The IP66 rating is a huge deal - and the tires are so far the best I've seen on an e-scooter. On a slight downhill but not in LUDO mode, I made it to 71km/h (44mph) before I chickened out & realized I'm on 10" tires, not 12" ones like on the Pro. I had to crouch a bit but it felt like it had a bit more. Plenty fast for my Apollo, but I always want "more". Something important about Apollo's 2023-2024 lineup is, all their batteries are UL certified. Apartment buildings with evil landlords are trying to ban e-bikes & e-scooters due to battery fires. Insurance companies are trying to meet these landlords half way by at least requiring UL certification. It's a standard that ensures batteries won't spark or overheat from overuse, over current, overcharging, etc, and they can handle the rapid charge levels safely.
Thank you SO much for leaving.this feedback. Been hearing about the UL Certification.... And you are right about the brakes....I love the Re-gen but it needs to be a bit.sttonger for last minute stops..
Glad to hear it.....I don't know why TNF isn't.introducing MORE Steep Tech but they NEED to get back on their game. Thanks for watching...ENJOY your gear!
@GearWave facts. They need to start bringing back all the retro pieces. The demand is definitely there. Please post more videos of these classic pieces they don’t get enough credit.
Mileage depends on the riders weight, power mode selected on the scooter and the terrain your going to be riding. More hilly challenging terrain at higher outputs will deplete then attery faster... Cruise in mode 1 or 2 then you can squeeze out more range. Everybodies range will be different because we all ride differently. The longer you ride the scooter the more you will familiarize yourself with the range you will be able to achieve based on your riding habits and environment.
I have to add that this scooter is not ideal for commuting. If you want a balls out super scooter then this means more.towards that... If you want a commuter look elsewhere..... Although it's not impossible to commute with this scooter because I have ....you have to remember it's heavy and not gonna be fun if you have carry it up subway stairs ... The Kaabo Mantis King GT would be better suited for that. Thanks for watching!
I live in Texas where the summers are blazing hot, and the in winter it can get to low 30's at the lowest. Do you think that buying a jacket this expensive would be a smart idea based on where I live?
Really? I liked this jacket.but thought it was a bit too bulbous and big for everyday use.....this is a perfect jacket for SUPER frigid conditions where your going to be more.stationary than active.
Use some down wash .....once you take the jacket out of the wash.....hold it up or hang it up and spray the majority of the spray on areas more prone to wetness like the head....shoulders and outside arms....THEN you can go to the back and sides.... Rub the excess spray in downward straight motions....so that no excess stay on the surface of the jacket.....next throw it in the dryer on the lowest setting with at least 2 to 3 tennis balls... That thing will puff up like craaaazy....and now you have an invisible shield on the exterior of your jackets fabric that will cause most of the rain to bead up....and not soak into the fabric... Let me know how it turns out.....follow care and cleaning instructions of thegarment being washed.
@@GearWave thanks for your reply. I am not looking to reproof just yet as the jacket is new. I have ordered the professional bottle of reproofer for the future and will follow your advice when spraying. Cheers
