Love your videos not hard to see they are real, not bought or coached by a company. Looking forward to more😊

[@bozmeg6918]

Thank you for an honest review on the Pro. Much appreciated !

[@NunchucksHabit]

For anyone who is concerned about braking - I have the '23 Apollo Phantom & its regen braking (RBS) is superb. I only use the other brakes to check if they work. Emergency braking is great on the RBS, you just have to press the brake thumb-lever twice to let energy build up. In fact, with RBS, I'm able to stop WAY later than any disc brakes I've used before. It doesn't lock up the wheels either. I find this extremely liberating & unlike the Ghost that came before it, you're not buying brake pads all the time - though they do include 2 brake pads in the kit when you buy it. I'm considering the Pro for the spring. Its IP66 rating (dust/water resistance) is extremely impressive, not to mention the incredible range & superb battery quality. I don't work for Apollo, but I am biased. Any Canadian company that designs something like this, I'll be brand loyal to a fault. Like this video states, it seems like they're on their way up & are improving every day. I found them to be very helpful & fair with prices, support, etc.

Bought one, expecting it early winter 2023 =( Good tip to know for spring though!

What helmet and gear do you have?

[@mcraven747]

Bro. You should do a video on suggested gear for the Apollo Pro. I'm still on the fence, but I would like to know what helmet, gloves, etc, you suggest for a scooter of this performance.

[@vwbora26]

Thanks for your imputs, and you have a great idea!

[@JP-qq2kn]

Any gear rated for up to 45mph will work just fine..

[@mcraven747]

@@vwbora26 specifically, what brand of helmet are you using? It looks cool.

Those are 5.11 gloves. But really anything for Motorcylces would be a good choice. I use dainese gloves, the lightest options they have so you can feel all of the controls.

[@Dygear]

"Bedding in the breaks" is the term you are looking for. It's a transfer of material from the break pad onto the breaking surface that actually makes it grip better. Good tips tho.

[@vwbora26]

Thanks for your input

[@BorealisNights]

As I recall, back in the day you adjusted "self adjusting drum brakes" by reversing and stopping a few times... not really practical on a scooter though. lol.

[@vwbora26]

@@BorealisNights the brakes on the Phantom are super easy to adjust

[@bozoking374]

pretty sure thats called private labeling

[@springroll703]

Honestly for 3k+ i rather buy a Sergway GT2 over this

[@gloomy5487]

Segway is much bigger and heavier with much less water resistance.
