@BGD.2980 2 года назад

I got two Air Pros for Christmas, one for me and my 13 year old boy. He's very hard to get out and play, but loves it every time we take the dog for a run. But I'm left with wanting more. I pulled the trigger last night and bought the Ghost.. To me, in this video, the Ghost wins hands down. They are so close, the extra $500 is not even close to a consideration to spend for the "little" more you'd get for it.

In my opinion it's the Ghost hands down it's faster and $500 cheaper. In terms of breaks you could easily buy a hydraulic break kit for the Ghost and it would still be either the same price or cheaper then the Mantis 8. You simply cannot beat the Ghost in terms of value there's nothing else on the market like it right now.

Great video! I can't believe people are still ok with any tires less than 10". Anyway, since October 2020, I've owned the Gotrax XR elite (first EV for me), Ninebot max max G30lp and G30 P, Emove Cruiser, and now the Apollo Explorer. Apollo all the way! I commute around NYC (Manhattan mostly) and the Explorer is the perfect scooter for me. Should I ever find myself needing to upgrade to a dual motor EV, the Ghost (or maybe the Phantom?) would be my first choice!

@Krispy416 3 года назад

Hey ESG you should reach out to Apollo to get a stem shim they have for the Ghost which they claim fixes stem wobble. They are sending them for free to Ghost owners. You should install it and do a follow up.

@ElectricScooterJuice 3 года назад

Thanks. We've got a shim on the way. The stem is actually really really good as is, it's just not quite as good as the amazing Mantis 8 Pro stem. I don't think most riders will be bothered enough to want to change anything, but it's awesome that Apollo has responded so quickly to make the scooter even better.

@Bobbyzjr 3 года назад

Hi Paul, did you end up receiving the shim from Apollo? Does it make the stem better? I just ordered my Apollo ghost and then arrives next month. I’m pretty excited about it what is the stem wobble without the shim a problem? Thank you. I would really appreciate a response.
