Before doing the clean and lube, it's really important to shield the brakes from any overspray, and never touch the rotors with your bare hands. Your brake pads can be easily ruined by oil or grease that gets on the disc

@ApolloScooters 3 года назад

Good point!

Hey Sean - Speaking to one of the awesome reps, I’m pretty sure they told me Brooklyn, NY has a scooter spot that works with you guys in regards to fixes/issues. I wonder if I can bring my Explore there every 4-6 months and have them professionally tune up my scooter like you did in this video. To be extra safe. 🤔

@customer7575 Год назад

It was wierd when rewatching this because I just remove the bolts on the frame holding the calipers, this way you can change the pads without fumbling with those washers. Wayyyyyyyyyy easier! At least for me.

@TitoReyRey 3 года назад

Just got my Apollo Explore 2 days ago!! Loving it so far. I had a question about how to get the most out of the battery with respect to how often it should be charged. Is it like a phone where you should use most of the battery before charging it fully? Or should you charge it after every trip regardless of how short or long the trips are (I’ve read that that is the way to go for some scooters)? Thank you!

@deandawiz 2 года назад

every trip man

@DJDevine Год назад

If you’re only going down to 90% and want a long ride the next time out charge it if not wait until you are getting down to 55% charge it if you are storing it 70% for the winter. Full lithium ion packs are unstable over long periods so storage is your main priority.

@mayocolorbenz 3 года назад

Awesome video! I just received a new Apollo City, and I read that I should remove the plastic collar around the valve stem from the back wheel to help avoid a flat tire. However, the post that mentioned this is a few months old. Is the plastic collar something that I should still be concerned about, and if so, how would I go about removing it? I am a complete novice when it comes to scooter (or any kind of vehicle) maintenance, so any feedback will help. Thanks!

@ApolloScooters 3 года назад

The plastic collar have been removed from all the units, it should not be an issue now :-)

@waynemorgan756 2 года назад

Hi no mention of contaminating brake pads with all that lubrecant you have spayed keep any lubrecant away from brake disk and pads or you will wreak your brakes thank you

@stillak Год назад

Can you show us how to lubricate bearings, shocks and steering rack on the phantom V2

@randomscooterrider5334 2 года назад

Hi, I lubricated the bearing of my Apollo Air Pro *Vertically(~80 degrees), and now, there is a water sound inside the motor whenever I run it. Is that normal? I have tried to run it for a few days now, and nothing has broken yet.

@MrForeverOnline Год назад

For the City Pro'22, for drum brakes would you still recommend lubricating the bearings? (Would I have to remove the drum brakes to access it?) Also where would I lubricate the suspension of the city pro '22?

@JLK5241 Год назад

Great video - Just a couple follow-up questions: 1.) How long after the unboxing of the escooter should the WD40 and lubrication application occur, would it be in 6 months? 2.) Is the replacement of hydraulic brakes the same as the process outlined in this video?

@goofyahhh254 11 месяцев назад

It depends on how much you're riding. The UK distributor I'm buying from recommends that if you ride 3+ miles 5+ times a week, should service every 3 months

@MitskiNYC 3 года назад

Good stuff. How can you tell when the brake pads need replacing? Can you tell without dismantling the brake mechanism?

Like a car, you will hear and feel it. But you should check your brakes during your 6 month or 500KM check up :-)

Why spray lube all over the outside of a sealed bearing? If you are going to truly lubricate them, they need to come out.

@niksun9510 Год назад

should focus more time on realigning front brake after pad replacement, was very difficult for me

@joshuacarpenter5829 3 года назад

Guys... don't blast wd40 into your bearings.... if they must be cleaned/replace, pull them clean, then press with proper grease

@samkanter25 3 года назад

What is “proper grease”??? Please link specific product.

@mct8888 3 года назад

Yeah apparently they think “lubricating the bearings” is spraying lube all over the outside of a sealed bearing. Won’t do anything besides make a mess.

@HellGod67 2 года назад

@sorenby 5 месяцев назад

In the video you mention "JIG-A-LOO or any lithium grease spray", The JIG-A-LOO spray you show is silicone based. I get somewhat confused. Should I go for a silicone based lubricant or a lithium based?

Hey Apollo team. Does these lubricant products works for the new city pro 2022?

@AndyObusek 2 года назад

Would WD-40 Specialist Silicone spray work as an alternative to jig-a-loo? (having a hard time finding it here in the US)

@ApolloScooters 2 года назад

Hey Andy! Yes, any silicone based lubricant should do the trick! :) We use Jig-A-Loo in our repair centre so we tend to recommend that brand.

@cahostetler 3 года назад

Jig-a-loo is not available in the US. Amazon has it but $16 to ship from CA. Can you recommend a brand of lubricant in the US?

Use a Silicone grease spray, here are a few links: amzn.to/3gnoeB3

@@ApolloScooters Did you mean to link about 100 different lube sprays? That’s what shows up in the link. Can you recommend one or two specific Jigaloo substitutes? I used WD-40 Specialist Silicone - not sure if this was best choice.

Are there a front and back sides on the break pads? I just bought an explorer a week ago and the breaks are very noisy, is there a way to stop the screeching? I’ve only driven twice and on dry days here in Vancouver.

@HellGod67 2 года назад

Mine on apollo ghost started crunching and scraping on the disk after riding in wet conditions because of all the sand on the streets.

@customer7575 Год назад

Get new pads on amazon. The rear is correct but even the smaller bicycle circular pads for the front still work. I changed mine recently. Make sure brakes are adjusted and not touching the calipers while riding.

@Castorshells 3 года назад

Why 50psi when the tube says max psi less? I think the tire shows less than that as well.

@HellGod67 2 года назад

2.2 bar is enough, It seems their factory pressure is exactly that. If you go higher you can only ride it if you are exceptionally light. Don't listen to the manual, it's ridiculous and badly written.

@Spursrule1969 3 года назад

I live in London and want to buy the Apollo Pro, You sell it via your English distributor Beyond Electrek, However it's not possible to buy parts from them or Fat Daddy, It seems insane to buy a £1700 scooter when you can't get spare parts.

@ApolloScooters 3 года назад

Hi! Beyond will be stocking spare parts more and more, they have ordered spare parts that arrive this week and will honour all warranty claims. In the meantime, you can always ask for an air shipment of parts from us :-)
