As an owner of a '22 Apollo Ghost, I must start off sulking about the brakes. I see what the industry's up against - these tires & wheels are tiny, so tires wear fast. The discs are "small bicycle" size, but the speeds are closer to motorcycle speeds than bicycle. So of course, brake pads are wearing out very fast for me. I'm thinking of upgrading to a different brake system, but I've also ordered the Phantom V3 a week ago so I can take advantage of regen braking. I'm very pleased to see they're putting some good lumens in the headlight & also (though I haven't used them yet), the signal lights seem really good.
One thing I'm a bit confused about is, why devote an entire button to iterate through 'gears'? Maybe I'm alone in this, but on the Ghost, I put it into 3rd gear every time I ride.
What I like most about Apollo is, they're not in the shameless race to make e-scoots faster. Sure, more power, more range, better materials, better water resiliency, bigger tires, better suspension, better storage, more everything - but these things are VERY dangerous. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 16yrs old & the only thing more dangerous than riding a scooter in a busy city is riding a motorcycle on an interstate.
Note: Most of these e-scoots are "illegal" in your area. The laws are outdated & proper police ignore the good guys, but keep in mind if you're out there scaring people or riding 50km/h + past people who are walking, you're going to lose your scooter & news media & police LOVE to bring up examples like that to serve as a warning & to bring in some kind of fun-smothering, catch-all regulation. Wear a helmet, and if you find an empty sidewalk, STOP PASSING PEDESTRIANS AT HIGH SPEEDS! You'll get us all pinched! Pep talk over!

This scooter is nearly perfect! The only thing that needs improvement is the tires, they should use tubeless self healing tires similar to the new Apollo City. Tire size could also be increased a bit. I hope they improve the tires in the next version!

Love you guys. You’re the only ones I trust when it comes to new scooter purchases 🎉❤

Considering this is not an apollo sponsored review, I would argue that their needs to be more objectivity when comparing this scooter to the competion. This is a light heavy weight scooter which is priced to compete against Kaabo Mantis King GT, Vsett 10+ and Nami Klima. All these scooters are 60V, have more powerful sinewave controllers(faster of the line acceleration), all have base models are with hydraulic breaks and all have hydraulic suspension. They also all happen to have faster top speed then Apollo phantom v3. Additionally most people would prefer hydraulic shocks for comfort vs spring suspension. Also in case of Vsett 10+ it has been available on the market for over 2 years. Apollo had enough time to iterate their scooter to be more competitive in this aspects. I do not agree this factors are irrelevant and should be neglected when it's compared to other similar priced scooters.

Thanks Paul for another awesome review . i’m not understanding why so many negative comments ?! once again thank you Paul for having the patience to address some of these straight up stupid comments with professionalism.

[kaymiankillerbee]

Your analytics skills are legendary. I definitely i would love to buy one of these babies.

[cosmiccharlie]

The seamless regen braking makes this scooter attractive to me. Drivability really adds to the enjoyment.

[phoenixvette]

I think I'm ready to be THAT guy in my town with the sweet scooter and motorcycle helmet

[christopherbeckett]

I just purchased the Phantom 2024, have received yet, I seems that the quality control and support experience, from what I have read, is either five stars or one star. Interested in peoples comments.

Thanks

Phantom V3 is cool! Good review Paul!

But I think I’m going to rock my 2022 ghost for a few years and eventually get myself a Pro!
Looking forward to that review!

[gadgehamilton]

Me and my gf both got v2s last year, absolutely love them

[willcurry]

I upgraded to the V3 and enjoy the improvements. Only con I could ever say about any version of the Phantom is the lack of good complete fenders. They dont wrap or cover the wheel entirely and that is a flaw. Ask any Phantom owner and they will say the same thing. We are all still waiting for Apollo to provide an after market Fender option.

[Mattdoc]

Considering I’m a welder, that horizontal weld on the stem absolutely kills me 🥲 7:24, however I don’t get all the hate about the tires I’ve never had a problem with tubed tires but I check the psi constantly.

[stevendunn]

They corrected dang near everything. The only issues I have with the V2…
•the rotors are susceptible to warpage/ pads wear too quick
• the 8mm bolt holding the front swing arm in place is Sketchy.
• needs increased Ah for terrain with drawn out/ steep hills.
• Keeping up with traffic is difficult in single motor mode.

Based on a 3000 mile 1 year test ride in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains (160lbs)

Thanks again for the insightful review Paul and team!

[Yielar]

Thanks for the review of the V3 Phantom! Been waiting for this model release for some time. The new regen braking seems to be amazing based on the few reviews I've watched to date. They also liked the new brighter screen, extra turn signals and smooth power delivery across the board including in LUDA mode. I like that the tires are still pneumatic personally as they can help with ride quality along with the shocks. Also nice that there is a phone app!
