I wouldn't say this is a hyper scooter because the word Hyper more correlates to fast or speed just like Hypercars that prioritizes speed than luxury. The Apollo Pro is more of a Luxury scooter, you could also say its Apollo's Lexus.

I'm glad you touched on the IP66 rating. It really sets the Pro apart from other competitors you mentioned (including the Phantom). IP54 just doesn't cut it for a daily driver. This kind of actual water resistance is a requirement before any scooter can be truly "vehicle grade." Reliability is non-negotiable in a future of sustainable transportation. I'm looking forward to the day when IP66 is the standard for any scooter over $1000.
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Жыл бұрын
I think we're heading that way fast! It turns out that the Apollo City's spec has gone up since we reviewed it. It was IP56, but now IP66 as well! (water rating hasn't changed, but it gives me more confidence in thw water number when the dust number is higher too) -Paul

@@jeffbill Obviously IP67 is a higher rating than IP66, but it's only useful if you want to submerge your scooter underwater, which seems like a bad plan to begin with, even momentarily. You wouldn't be able to buy a car with IP67, so I don't see why you would need that on a scooter. IP66 is already one rating above what most riders would need, which is enough peace of mind for me.

Nice review Paul. Look forward to seeing the beta test units rolling out. I think the most direct comparison here is the Segway GT2, from both a design and performance perspective. The 0-30 time is pretty slow, most likely because the motors peak at 1,800W vs 3,000 for the GT2. I’ll take your word for it regarding drum brakes but I still love the hydraulic brakes on the Segway GT. And, Segway released a major firmware upgrade last night that adds KERS, electronic braking, mode customization, and horn customization. So we’ll have to see how the software functionality of the Pro vs GT compares when the final product is out. At $2,500 I think beta testers are getting a great value. At $4,000 I think it’s a tough sell. The GT2 regularly gets discounted to $3,500 so you are going to have to pay $500 more to get less power and drum vs hydraulic disc brakes. I don’t see many buyers at that price. But who knows, maybe the market will be there. Time will tell.
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the insightful comment. I hadn't heard about KERS getting added to the GT2. I was honestly really surprised that the GT2 didn't have it, but also surprised just how good the brakes were without it, because the rotors are extra thick. I'm curious what their regen feels like. I think the beta test units for the Pro are $3k not $2,500 though. Time will tell where the street-price for the Pro will end up with coupon codes etc. -Paul

Wow! Very well said. I think this is one of the most impressive (and frustrating) things about Apollo. They insist on giving us what we need, knowing that it's not the stuff headlines are made of! It's much easier to make videos about: "Fastest Scooter Ever!" than "5 years from now you'll be glad you have one of the best BMS to ever be used in a production scooter" :-) But in the long run, it's really good for the scooter industry when someone like Apollo makes a scooter that's not disposable! -Paul

Great review and video. A pleasure to watch and build on the excitement. I’ve, been contacted by Apollo to be a “Beta Tester”. I’m, very excited! Over, the last 10yrs, a series of “Brain Surgeries”🤕, other procedures and a subsequent Stroke on the Operating Table: having to progress from a Wheelchair->Walker->Walker/Cane->unassisted, twice, now. Since then, it’s left me with residual visual deficits and complications. These, prevent me from driving, ever again and ended both of my Careers, as a Firefighter and EMT. “The System”, won’t even give me a “Disability Bus Pass”, though. So, I’ve turned to the “e-scooter, as my primary, mode of Transportation. This, whole prospect and product, have me, pretty excited.

@Timothy Germann Get onto whomever you bought the scooter from and have the throttle replaced FREE. I had the same issue and recently I reached out to the sales team in which I purchased the scooter from and I took it into their Apollo repairer. Everything was taken care of via them through Apollo and it didn't cost me a cent. There are updated throttles (V8 I think?) that fix this issue (with raised buttons for more precise control) Ask Apollo directly as they will know. My City Pro came with the original throttles (indented buttons) which are difficult to press particularly with gloves on. When I got my new and improved throttle upgrade it made a world of difference. Hope this helps

It looks like a commercial scooter u rent on downtown somewhere. My other issue is that in sports/race mode. The range is only like 19 miles. Which isn’t as practical for riding to work. I love the inmotion RS. It’s fast and looks great! The price point though is more than my current budget.

Thank you for review. Pity that kick scooters are not so mainstream, that is the reason why they more expensive than comparable seated scooters and ebikes. For a price of 4000USD an powerfull road legal seated scooter could be bought, that would in reality last tens of thousands of miles, instead of 10000 miles maximum for any current kick scooter. Would love to see a kick scooter requires so little maintanance as seated scooters one day. For now kick scooters are for enthusiast who like to fix them multiple times per year. Thats my case, but anyone who I know drove kick scooters for a while, than it broke and they have no time to fix it.

The look of this scooter is quite appealing. I like it a lot more than the Kaabo Wolf and even more than the new Segways. Better looking than everything else available. Appears to have an amazing build quality. Love the water resistance. Love the optional SIM alarm / GPS. Love the beta test program. Love the regen brake system (and brake system in general). Love the large wheels/tires and self healing quality. Love the lights. Definitely not a fan of the phone being used as a display. Last thing I need is a dropped/broken cellphone because my scooter doesn't have its own display, and I don't need to be worried about my cellphone battery in relation to my scooter operation. How well does the headlight work at night? Regarding the piece of rubber used for suspension at the back: I'm wondering if it might degrade after exposure to the elements (freezing temperatures, water, excessive heat, etc.) or even just continued use? Hopefully this is a window into the quality of future scooter builds from most companies. Also, let's hope that as we make progress that the price comes WAY down. I'm not a fan of the price tag, even though I certainly understand it. As always, a well done and informative review!

The headlight is pretty good. It appears to be similar to the Phantom. Maybe 900 lumens. Not as good as the Wolf Warrior or NAMI scooters, but you're also not going as fast. The rubber on Dualtrons definitely gives more on hotter days. This is a pretty large piece and I like that it's under compression and not under tension. I'll bet i twill hold up for a long time. There is a basic dot matrix display when the phone isn't in place. I checked out all of the angles and the phone won't ever contact the ground unless you completely invert the scooter. -Paul

Nice overview video! Re the beta program, I was selected a couple of days ago. Still considering whether or not the benefits for both parties is appropriately aligned/balanced. For example, beta testers come in two main categories... 1) The technical/Engineering/e-whatever experienced, and 2) Everyone else, including eScooter advocates, influencers, etc. Apollo benefits from input from both groups, and the beta testers should, of course, include testers from the entire spectrum of e-scooter riders. However, if Apollo is looking for input from a more technical/engineering perspective, I would suggest they consider bifurcating the terms and conditions for each group - to better balance benefit being provided to both parties. Looking forward to seeing this one hit the market!

It's crazy we're living in times where a 42mph scooter's not really considered all that fast. And its 0-30 speed is kinda on the "slow" side. I just ordered a Wolf King GT Pro and honestly, I don't think I'll ever have the cajones to try to hit top speed. I'm also a little chicken about the 0-30 speed the Wolf in mode 4 or 5 lol. 42's still super quick for normal non suicidal people. And the 7.9 0-30 here would still be pretty good. Maybe not blistering fast, but it also wouldn't make the tires chirp and the front one go airborne for a moment either. This looks like an awesome scooter, I love how your phone can become the screen, if Apollo lets you customize what's on the display it would be extra sweet.

My Apollo Phantom V2 60V goes 43mph but the speed isn't for racing. In my opinion...it's dangerous to ride in the streets if you can't keep up with the flow of traffic light to light. Not every road has a bike lane or sidewalk and that's when at least 35mph of speed is needed to flow with traffic. I'd say going over 60mph on a scooter is about the limit cuz any accident at that speed can be fatal

The unibody design of it rocks but that's about it. I'm not sure it's going to be worth the $4,000 pricetag given that it's slower than other escooters you can get costing half that much, both off the line and top speed. I don't really have a problem with anything with it except the price to performance ratio with it's high price. I even don't mind that it doesn't have disc brakes, given that the dedicated regen brake on it is reportedly very good. Then of course we also have to deal with the elephant in the room, Apollo's very poor customer service. Unless they can really ramp that up soon. Not many will be happy buying a $4K scooter that they can't even get support for.

A folding lock through the handle would do the trick. I think scooter manufacturer's may be reluctant to include physical locks as part of the product, because you can imagine the sorts of customer service phone calls it would cause, such as: "I locked my scooter and now it won't unlock" or "I locked my scooter, and now my scooter is gone. Why is your lock so easy to defeat?" I have this vision of cities having anchor-points installed in the sidewalk, and then scooters could drop anchor into the anchor points. So a whole bike-rack (scooter-rack in this case) would just be a series of metal bumps on the ground that scooters could anchor to using drop-down anchors. It would be so cool and lightweight. -Paul

Definitely not at 50km/hour. You'd need to be going about 25km/hr to get close to that range on flat ground. It's pretty typical for manufacturers to quote max range which is usually at 12 to 15 mph and also typical for us to get 50 to 60% of that. -Paul

I love ergonomic handgrips, it’s the only improvement I’d make aside from an unrealistic 30 lb weight loss (I require stairs mobility).

Hey Paul, which scooter has a smooth throttle on take-off? I currently have the KQi3 Pro and it's pretty good. Your ideas? Sine-wave controllers?

once motors can be a little quieter and battery manufacturing can be a less controversial, we can embrace a future where there are E-highways for scooters and Bikes that have long range and high speeds. Companies have always sough to profit of people needing to commute and placed this weird prestige on how you get from point A-B but once you do away with the bullsh then you realize it doesn't have to be so complicated and even rain-proofing these is possible like with the roofed mopeds

Are the handlebars adjustable? I'm 6' 5" so I'm always looking at whether scooters, or clothes or whatever will fit me easily. Is this scooter appropriate for tall riders? Thanks.

Not adjustable but should be good for your height! It’s a large scooter

I think it's a little pricey at $4k, but I do like everything about it. Particularly nice that you can track and remotely lock it "just in case," and that it has wireless phone charging. One thing you didn't mention is how does a phone stay attached? I didn't see you put straps or anything around it to keep it attached when moving.
