Apollo Pro Review - This $3,799 'Hyper Luxury' Scooter Might Actually Be Worth It

The Apollo Pro is definitely not the best "bang for buck" high power electric scooter, but it does offer a lot of "luxury" features you'll never see on the cheap high power thrill seeker scooters.
This Apollo Pro review will show you everything you need to know about this electric scooter to help you make an informed buying decision on this machine, and if you do decide this is the one for you I'd appreciate your support if you click my link at the top of this text to help support my channel and thorough reviews.

Apollo needs to lengthen the deck a bit. At least by 2 to 3 inches. Your size 14's are taking up ALL the space on the deck.

New subscriber here, love your reviews dude! That Apollo Pro seems pretty dang nice except for the pricetag. It'd be cool to see you try out a Nami Klima or Nami Burn-E 2. Hope your channel blows up!

I bought one of these around Christmas time for $3, 299.00. I have no idea how I did this, but it was dropped, while in the lowest power setting. After picking it up and repeatedly pressing the power button to get it out of the low speed mode. It now reads that it is in Ludo mode, and has run to 55mph? I have no idea how this happened, and would like to know how to switch it back? 35mph, 40mph is fast enough? He just told me what happened. Thank you, bro.

If you want a 45 mph dual 1200w motor commuter scooter you can find one in the 1k range (on sale for 6-800)

Apollo Phantom V4X is similar performance with 18650 battery and less than $2000 USD

very good review my friend. a few cons that I noticed: the deck is too small compared to other flagship scooters. Apollo seems to focus on "cool tech" rather than a real world capable scooter. Drums brakes are an absolute no no at this price. The suspension is lacking especially in the rear as you stated. No steering damper. No hydraulic brakes. There are just too many inferior components on this scooter at this price. I challenge you as an expert reviewer to look at "budget Scooter brands" and see how they compare. Yume Y11 Pro is destroying this scooter and at nearly 1/3 the cost is has way more modern tech. Thanks again for an awesome review

30:32...Why did Elijah Wood try to run you off the sidewalk? Dudes arms were the size diameter as his handlebars.

Stem is pushed backwards too much and pushing riders over the rear wheel. Should have left phantom angle, really comfy.

Only problem I had with the scooter was LED light controller that sits inside the deck. It gets too hot and causes condensation buildup. The scooter is IP66 so the condensation has nowhere to go and just gets worse.

[oaceless]

as somebody that owns an apollo scooter this scooter for the price needs a 72v battery instead of a 52v 35ah or 30ah

[joejones-cocy]

i wanted to get one of these but my city 23 the screws on the handle bars come loose after a few miles and over heats just as fast

One thing I always found strange when it comes to configuring scooter software, regardless of brands - choosing a top speed for each drive mode. Unless you're lending your scooter to a kid or otherwise inexperienced rider, why would anyone limit the top speed in any drive mode? Throttle response, eco mode, braking intensity, sure, but it seems arbitrary to lock yourself into a speed range, when basic physics will limit you just fine. These things go 80km/h (~50mph) tops.

I've got an Apollo Phantom (V3) with 3800kms on it (~2400 miles), and though I'm good at doing routine maintenance (tightening bolts, lubing suspension/hubs/stem), and I've had to change tires on mine a few times - I still haven't had any issues with overheating, nor have I had any flat tires, and the stem has been solid. I'm 195lbs but I rarely hop it off a curb taller than 3 inches - and I'm wondering where all these people who crack stems are coming from.
I always have the regen set to maximum - and aside from a couple of emergency stops where I've had to use my hydraulic brakes, I've used the regen exclusively. Having a dedicated regen lever is possibly the one thing that sets Apollo ahead of all other brands for me. Takes a while to get used to how regen braking resistance works, but I find it to be far superior to any braking other than immediate, emergency stops. It's smooth, predictable, a LOT stronger, works on both wheels, and you won't skid your rear wheel except on gravel or loose dirt. No matter how good your disc brakes are, they're gonna make some noise, they're gonna grind, and wear down pads. Regen is almost silent.
I'm definitely considering the Pro as my next scooter - dedicated regen is tipping the scale over some super high performance scooters in its price range. Plus, you can fold it, pick it up and put it in your car. I'm pretty strong, my Phantom is about 100lbs with its stem bag & tools & chunky bike lock - but I won't be looking for a scooter that goes 130km/h & weighing 130lbs+.

The Punk Rider Pro looks very similar to this scooter. I think they tried to copy them.

[The_Cannabis_Connoisseur]

Rubber gasket suspension in the rear? For that amount of money? I'd rather have the Segway GT2 for $2, 499 is made better and has way better quality control over Apollo. The price they want for this is ridiculous to not have rear shocks just like in the front. That deck is so small that that's got to be for children or women because I got size 11s and there's no way my feet are going to fit on that Even if I put my right foot sideways and then put my left foot straight

[DxRyus]

I like watching things I can't afford

[kenadams]

only 2400w.. drum breaks and rubber rear suspension. wow the only thing that is decent is the tire size imo

[aishabaker]

3, 000 sounds pretty cheap to me for a scooter that looks like that

[Zlato_z]

i mean this scooter is cool but for this price id rather get like a talaria xxx or smth

[spoqpedwabe]

For this price it has nothing to offer.... literally a kugoo g booster with an phone app and rbg
