Any experience with Apollo scooters ?

We see complaints here and there, but they have an overwhelming good reputation for product design and also as retailer for those who buy direct.

Picked up a Ghost about a month ago.
Shipped on time, good to go out of the box, scary fast for a first scooter.
Took a bit to figure out the brakes, had to reduce electric breaking to stop front end dive under breaking. Some squeaking in the suspension.
Note they are a custom branded Chinese product. You can get them cheaper but I think they’re worth the extra for the support Apollo provides.

Manac…question on your Ghost; how is the performance with only one of the motors…or do you always ride with both? Looking to understand the trade-off between the duel motors on the Ghost vs. the single 1000W Explore. Torn between the two….

It’s a dog on only one motor. Had to go out and ride it to find out.
So the scooter has:
3 modes, or speed limits 17 or 18, 25 or so, and die young.
Eco or turbo mode, I think some sort of power limit.
One or two motors, again ends up limiting the power.
Then in the controller you can set the acceleration 1-5, I’m set at 3.
On 3 it will spin the tires on pavement on start.

I think the biggest impact to battery life is the person driving and the terrain.

I just ride it at turbo, two motors, mode 1 if I’m with someone slow or 3 if by myself.
I also take it easy on the throttle.
PS, I bought the Ghost because I live in a very hilly place and I’m heavy.
It is perfect for me.
