Building the Perfect Electric Scooter: APOLLO PHANTOM COMPARISON

[@jsproject25]

Now this is what you call amazing customer service, they actually care. Love it!!!

[@ApolloScooters]

Thank you Jimmy. We truly do care. Our clients mean everything to us. It's not marketing speak.

[@jsproject25]

@@ApolloScooters I literally just bought the Apollo Phantom from FluidFreeRide. I did it because of the support you guys give your clients. Can't wait to get it! I only wish I could get it sooner than May because my BDay is on April.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Great video Eloi, thanks for explaining everything! This is matching up perfectly with what we are noticing with our sample. I've never seen a scooter with this many practical innovations.

[@DanielSabinus]

waiting for the video Mr Temple promised us last live about the Phantom lol

Thanks! Will do!

@@ApolloScooters Hey just wondering if it will also be available in France or Australia ?

[@drekex6767]

I really love how transparent you guys are with your customers, no tricks, everything on how the scooter is built is shown and how that benefits us

[@martyclayton3611]

Apollo, thank you so much for releasing this very detailed video showcasing the information on the prototyping process that you follow in creating a safe, high-performing, and durable scooter. The communication by your team is top-notch and much appreciated, especially before pre-orders start. I love to research and this has satisfied many of my concerns and questions (not all, but really close). 1) Are there any other changes or improvements that will be happening before the final shipping date? 2) I would be interested in knowing more concerning the performance differences between the mechanical brakes and the hydraulic brakes, especially considering the price difference. 3) The first prototype sports a 10 x 2.5 tires. The second and third prototype tires appears to be a bit wider, maybe 10 x 3? (thanks for listening and trying to go tubeless). 4) What is the material of the charging port caps and how are they affixed to the ports? If they are plastic, will they hold up over time? (maybe screw-on rust and corrosion-resistant metal caps?) Possibly change the location of the charging port to an area that is less vulnerable to accidental strikes and weather. 5) Love the addition of the toolkit with pre-orders! General critique: The lighting on the video is generally dark (black scooter with a black background is not optimum). Also on the closeups it was hard to distinguish some of the details that were being called out. Overall: Great information and a strong design that has transferred into fun scooter! Also, I really enjoyed the podcast last week.

[@Thatmusicdude91]

I'll be buying an Apollo asap. The level of care and responsibilty for your customers are second to none. One knotch above that, all this content concerning your specific scooters, the care, management and safety; I really feel your group is a remarkable company and other manufacturers SHOULD BE taking note on ya'll.

[@wayneeverett739]

Congrats APOLLO!!! I'm so very proud of you guys!! This is the result of who/what you've been since DAY ONE: AMAZING PRODUCT+CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The PHANTOM IS PERFECTION! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HYDRAULIC BRAKE VERSION!!!

[@JimLBon]

Looks awesome! I considered cancelling my Ghost order for one of these but as neat as they look I think the Ghost should still do it for me. In any case it looks like a great scoot and with dual 1200W motors it's a beast for sure!

[@mrniceguy0531]

I recommend reversing the Apollo branding on the stem to match the Apollo explore so the branding is not inverted when the stem is folded.

[@eloipecquet]

Good catch, it will actually be fixed for the next production! Thanks for your feedback Jason!

[@theraid100]

Black on black on a really dark background ... Nice and informative non the less .. waiting for the 60v 4.0 version ;)

[@TheLancephillipslive]

Nice video, fellas. I've been adamant that the Phantom doesn't offer as much value as either the Ghost or Explore, but learning about all these little features has helped change my mind. Do I wish it had more range? Yes, but there's way more to a scooter than just a battery and I think you did a great job of highlighting those aspects. Again, nice work.

[@ApolloScooters]

Thank you for your support, Lance!

[@ElectricScooterInsider]

Amazingly detailed video guys! It's great to see the iterations of the Phantom. We'll have our unboxing video coming out before the end of May and a full review soon after!

[@DanielSabinus]

i was about to buy the allen kit tools and a air pump but since i saw i'm getting it with pre order, just buying the lub and wd40 to maintain. thanks a lot, really excited for it

[@ApolloScooters]

Welcome to the community, Daniel!

[@syracuse37]

Génial tellement apprécié. To see how much details were thought through is just amazing. I bought an emove cruiser 3 months ago and its falling apart. I was hesitating to sell.it and bug the phantom. Now it's decided I am ordering.

[@kennsan18]

I wish this phantom scooter gets a mini version 🤙 it is for sure a great scooter. It has everything that scooter users need. However, in some cases like me who lives in a 3rd Floor apartment without elevator is kinda challenging or impossible to bring the scooter up and down. I wish someday its possible for a mini version like other companies have done.

[@CyberOrganic]

I am sure in the near future they will make a lighter version, but not with the same power. They can't make 3 versions of a new model. It will be costly. They are not a big company yet. At the moment they have to be efficient.

[@vwbora26]

An apollo city 2022 should fit your bill

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

Thanks for all the great details for all us scooter nerds!! But Ive just started to ride more at night so i was really curious about more details on the new headlight -specifically the throw of the light beam compared to others? - i just bought the Vsett8R because i needed the folding handle bars and extended range - but Apollo’s attention to detail has me eyeing the brand for my next purchase of a dual motor model ....

[@jeremyanderson4138]

Love the high mounted light nice touch Still wish yall head the deck lighting as well like your other models

Pre-order completed this past weekend. Looks to be a mid-July ship. Gonna be a loooooooong 4+ months, but I’m thinking it’ll be worth it.

I just pre-ordered mine today. Can't wait to get it , only problem is I ordered a premium tool kit with it, and now your saying I'm getting one with the scooter. Wish they said that when I ordered it

[@starkalarm]

Will this be available in New Zealand?

[@esterasturdivant7956]

Great scooter, hoping to get it when it comes out. BTW I love night riding and I think you should make two versions one with 1 light and the second with triple 2000 lumen lights.

[@e-scooterguy]

Great to have an explanation of the features and learn more about why things were changed and chosen. Can’t wait to see it in action and see what ESG, Alien rides, wrong way, Ben Fox and others make of this! 😀 shame it’s ip54 not higher so it can officially be ridden in the rain. Are Apollo and others going to be bringing out models higher than ip54???

[@ApolloScooters]

We are looking at it. We know our community wants waterproof and we want to deliver that experience!

[@e-scooterguy]

@@ApolloScooters that’s great, the Uk hasn’t legalised scooters yet but should do within a year. I think indicators front and back, ability to ride in the rain and designs with suspension and pneumatic tyres will be key. Due to potential restrictions on watts power (could be 500 watts based on rental scooter laws currently here and in Europe) I do think that what the market needs is lower powered dual motor scooters to give better hill climbing and peak power, for example the Apollo light or city type scooter with indicators ip55 upwards and dual 250 watt motors would be ideal. I really like how you can switch between single and dual motor with scooters like the phantom so you can balance your demands for range and speed. Keep up the good work Apollo and be great to partner with a store based retailer such as pure electric so us in the Uk can go and try out the Apollo line up 👍🏻😀

Vous avez pas parler de la batterie , combien d' ampères a la batterie ? Avec mon Apollo pro 52 v 23 A je réussi a faire 45 km de distance est ce que la phantom va être capable de faire ce kilométrage ou un peu moins a cause qu'elle est plus puissante sur le 60v ?

[@donl3130]

Le premier modèle est à 52v. 60v va venir plus tard, selon ce qu'ils ont dit dans une émission web (KZbin). La batterie est la même capacité - 23.4 AH - si Apollo me permet de prendre les devants. ;)

Hey Johnny, Our models such as the City 2021, Explore and Ghost have the ability to swap to different throttles! The options for these models are either the trigger style throttle or a thumb throttle like on the Phantom!

[@johnnymartinARTIST]

How about a NICE SEAT that bolts to the kickplate? Actually made by Apollo? instead of the ZERO 10x seat...for this price $$$ it should come with one! (I know- i'm crazy)

[@TurreTuntematon]

"They added this" and "they added that". I thought Apollo manufactures this scooter not some Chinese company deciding about design changes?

[@chrispederson4157]

Why did they add two shocks just adds weight and unnecessary weight and complication. Just like dirt bike or mountain bikes just need one quality shock like a air shock. That would be a huge improvement but also expensive I know but would be nice as a option. Also the angle of those shocks will cause a lot stress on shock and connections not a improvement at all compared to Pro. The stress put on those rods way out on the ends is not good.

[@ApolloScooters]

Thank you for your feedback, Chris. However, everything has been extensively tested and you have to try it to truly experience the difference :-)

[@GAmbrose]

Warranty for 2 years though, so they must be confident.

[@chrispederson4157]

You guys should sell a premium shock as a option. I would buy one. Sleds/snowbike that the main difference in high to low end models shocks. People will pay more for better shocks. Thanks.
