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..
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"...
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.)
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...
