    I suspect that when we first tighten the head unit screws they eventually wear away the paint below them and creates a gap. I had the same thing happen and saw some paint flake out when I re-tightened. It's been great for me, too!

    I really respect what Apollo has done here, in terms of innovation. Rather than joining the other manufacturers & trying to get these things to 200km/h, they seem to be focused on making scooters better. They finally put a proper kickstand on it & put the charge port near the stem & they've continued to use the regen braking which I really love. The IP66 rating is something the industry should have adopted by now & I'm glad Apollo took the lead. The puncture-resistant tires (and their 12" size) are a huge plus. I find I need to change my 10" tires around 1500 kms at most & that can get annoying. It really should have slightly more speed/power. My '23 Phantom has all the power I need & I'd definitely upgrade range before I'd seek more power, but for more than double the price, it seems a bit odd to have the same motors - especially with the very fierce competition out there in top speed/range. It also looks like it has the same 1000lumen headlight that's on the Phantom. From experience, that's "be seen", not "see in the dark" brightness so riding at night, I'd mount something brighter with some stank on it. I do wonder how the Pro's dual suspension feels compared with the Phantom's quadruple.

    So far, the handgrips are the only thing I see that I'd replace immediately.

    Please don't take this as an insult, it's only my observation which means nothing to anyone reading this - but the body and front display are really ugly - the body should have a more sleek look, like maybe a tubular frame like the Nami Burn E 2 Max but it ends up looking like a messed-up rectangle, like cheap 80's furniture. The surround lighting is also decidedly tacky. Maybe it makes sense on the stem, but on the floor, it just looks like a kid's toy. Finally, the big, rectangular headstock/gooseneck looks chunky & cheap.

    I've got a '22 Ghost and a '23 Phantom & I'm likely upgrading them in the spring. I want to stay with Apollo but I haven't decided yet. Regen braking is a huge draw for me, as well as supporting a Canadian company. At twice the price though, I don't see THAT much value over the Phantom.



    Thanks for a quick look at the scooter, so far the reviews are good - just nothing that really critiques it yet. There are many pundits who just moan erotically over it so they get free gear - it's good to have a real-world look at it.

    I do think the Apollo pro is a bit over hyped and not just because everyone else is over hyped. The difference between a $3500 dualtron scooter and the Apollo pro is night and day. You get WAYYY more bang for your buck with those other brands. However, that is not to discount how brilliant the Apollo pro is. It does come jam pact with so much modern technology that is simply not available anywhere else. I am a pure sucker for the cyber punk look so I REALLY want this scooter. Good to know it still performs well after so many km of riding.

    2:25 On the Segway f35 we got it kept coming lose there. The screws lock tight was no good so I added my own blue lock tight and that fixed the problem
  • @grantos8276
    They have a double locking mechanism on stem latch already - Velcro strap prob waste time
  • This is my new favorite design look. I also love the look of the inmotion RS. The price is too high for what u get in my opinion. I think the top speed should’ve been at least 50 mph thou. Oh. And disc brakes.

    best on market like for me except deck width which is lil to small for hold both legs in the same line while cruise 👌🏻but battery size performance maintenance less breaks wheel size self healing suspension handlebars hight from deck thumb throtle almost enough ip rating 😉 its almost perfect except this deck width 👌🏻

    Loctite is your friend. I use it on all of my PEV's to ensure that all screws stay where they are installed, and don't come loose. Screws coming loose is normal on scooters since they travel over rough surfaces, and the bouncing shakes the screws loose over time.
  • I would imagine that velcro band would make the stem less safe not more. Imagine that band slides down and the pressure from you pulling on the stem presses against the latch release while you're riding. I can not see any sense on having that there it offers no support what so ever
  • Merci pour le vidéo. J'ai moi aussi un Apollo PRO et moisn de 100km au compteur. Ma roue arrière semble très instable (wobble), on entend d'aileurs cette instabilité en roulant.. est-ce que tu crois que 'est normal?
