The Apollo Electric Scooter Lineup + Our Take on Each Model

Designed, developed and tested at their HQ in Montreal, Apollo Scooters have quickly taken the PLEV market by storm. Every model in their range is of brilliant build quality, with every new scooter undertaking a 5,000 km roll test. Despite the industry-leading quality on display, many of these models remain affordable and fairly priced.

Their team state a passion to “displace cars as the status quo for all travel”, with their range accommodating both commuters and extreme thrill-seekers alike. The success of this brand stems from their original design, the Apollo Phantom; a top-performing electric scooter that sold out within 48 hours of launching.

Apollo sells their products directly in North America (Canada + USA) excluding Mexico and in 2022, they intend to have wholesalers on all continents as they extend their global presence.

A Consistent Dedication to Quality

In a display of confidence in their quality control, Apollo offers a 12-month warranty on every purchase, protecting against any manufacturing defect. This is extended by a further 12 months for repairs, in which riders only pay the cost to Apollo with no markup. Both from what we’ve seen and what their website claims, this is one of the longest warranties offered on an eScooter.

Each of their scooter models best fit a specific purpose, yet possess enough versatility to suit all manner of roles. For example, the ‘Ghost‘ makes a great choice for speed-demons, yet also remains suitable for inner-city commuters, thanks to the ‘eco’ riding mode. They also all feature smart battery management systems for added reliability. However, we won’t reveal too much here… Continue reading for our complete Apollo Scooters lineup for 2022:

Apollo Air / Pro

The ‘Apollo Air’ is a highly affordable eScooter, proving that big things still come in small packages. At just 16 kg, this lightweight scooter supports weights of up to 100 kg, approx. 6.2 times its own weight. Described as the “ultimate entry level scooter”, it’s available in two variants, the ‘Air’ and ‘Air Pro’; with the latter claiming an extra 5 km in top speed and range, for a total of 30 km. Both models achieve an IP54 waterproof rating.

The ‘Air Pro’ further includes improved dual fork suspension and a front drum brake, although it does cost an extra ~$155. Riders will also enjoy pairing their Apollo Air/Air Pro with the Apollo mobile app, enabling a new level of customisation and convenience. From here, you can easily check ride analytics, check for updates, operate a ‘smart dashboard’ and more.

The spacious rubber deck offers great grip and rider stability when in operation, with the ample suspension maintaining a smooth and enjoyable ride. These models boast both 36V 7.6aH (Air) and 10.4aH (Air Pro) batteries respectively. Both versions of this eScooter prove perfect for commuters and inner-city riders alike, remaining highly portable and lightweight.

The ‘Apollo Air’ is listed for $649.00, with the upgraded ‘Pro’ priced at $799. We recommend purchasing from Apollo Scooters directly to qualify for their generous 24-month warranty.

Apollo City

The Apollo City eScooter is another top choice for commuters and urban riders. It’s a vastly superior model to the ‘Air’, capable of reaching speeds of up to 25 mp/h and an average range of 28 miles. It’s fully folding and lightweight, weighing 17.6 kg whilst supporting a max. payload of ~120 kg; around 6.8 times its own weight. Check out our in-depth review for this model here.

Much like most models on this list, the Apollo City features integrated front/rear lighting and even a deck under-glow. But it’s more than just a pretty scooter, the Apollo City utilises a silent yet powerful 600W motor with an 800W peak output. This allows for some rapid acceleration of 0-15 mp/h in 4.1 seconds and a hill-climbing capacity of up to 15 degrees.

Safety is clearly a priority, with the ‘City’ claiming a triple brake system; consisting of the main drum, front disc and electric regenerative brake. Stylish, fun and functional is the best way to describe this surprising model, we heavily recommend it to all inner-city riders. Pick it up for just $1,099 from Apollo and enjoy having a tree planted for every purchase!

Apollo Explore

The Apollo Explore is where this range starts to get really juicy. It claims a huge increase in performance in comparison to the City; all whilst remaining fully folding and still light enough to carry, at 24 kg. A single 1000W motor propels the ‘Explore’ to speeds of up to 31 mp/h (50 km/h), for a range of approx. 37 miles (60 km) per charge. All of this helps the ‘Explore’ reach speeds of 0-15 mp/h (25 km/h) in a mere 3.5 seconds.

The charge time of this model sits at ~8 hours, with the optional high-speed charger bringing that time down to just 4 hours. All of this is powered by a 48V 13.2aH battery utilising industry-leading Dynavolt cells, the same used on electric motorbikes. The deck is slightly wider for added manoeuvrability and like the other models, features integrated front, rear and under-deck lighting.

Attesting to its name, two grippy 10″ pneumatic tires and a 1400W peak output allow riders to operate both on and off-road, greatly improving functionality. The Apollo Explore includes dual disc braking and an electric regenerative hand brake; all contributing to an average stopping distance of just 8 ft/2.45m. This model is rated 4.7/5 out of 265 reviews, demonstrating incredible consistency in quality control.

The ‘Explore’ costs $1,399 USD or $1,799 CAD, with monthly finance options available. Read through our in-depth review of the Apollo Explore, or view this listing for yourself now.

Apollo Ghost

The Apollo Ghost is a truly exhilarating eScooter. An upgraded successor to the ‘Explore‘, the ‘Ghost’ features dual 800W motors with a peak output of 2000W. This propels it to speeds of up to 34 mp/h (55 km/h), capable of reaching 0-15 mp/h in just 3.1 seconds, or 0-25 mp/h in 5.3 seconds. This acceleration is approx. 45% faster than the single-motored ‘Explore’ and powered by a 52V 18.2aH Dynavolt battery; rated for a minimum of 600 charge cycles with no impact on performance.

Its design is much more robust, with a wide and spacious deck adding to comfort and also accommodating seat installation. The Apollo Ghost is fashioned from a new hollow aluminium frame with added fenders for increased durability. It’s heavier than most models but still fully folding and transportable, weighing in at 29 kg (64 lbs) and supporting 135 kg (300 lbs). The improved dual spring suspension offers great shock absorption and is fully adjustable.

The overall build quality and versatility of the ‘Ghost’ is great. Dual disc brakes result in a stopping distance of 8 ft from 15 mp/h and 23 ft from 25 mp/h, whilst further featuring regenerative hand braking. Riders can also choose between the standard version and an upgraded ‘hydraulic brake’ model available for an extra $200 USD. The Apollo Ghost makes a clear choice for any serious electric scooter fan.

Pick up the ‘Ghost’ for $1,599 USD, or slightly cheaper for those in Canada at $1,749 CAD (adjusting for conversion rates). Learn more about this eScooter in our complete Apollo Ghost review here, or continue reading to uncover more awesome Apollo Scooter models!

Apollo Phantom (Pre-order only)

Their flagship product and most powerful eScooter, the Apollo Phantom packs a serious punch. The design is stylish yet rugged and hardy, utilising an aerospace-grade aluminium for its fully folding frame. Easily the biggest and baddest model in their range, the ‘Phantom’ boasts dual brushless 1200W motors with a total peak output of ~3200W. This aids in its unbeatable acceleration and a rapid top speed of ~40 mp/h (61 km/h).

All of this potent performance is powered by a 52V 23.4aH Dynavolt battery rated at 1216Wh (Watt Hours); leading to an average range of ~40 miles (64 km) per charge. This model is available in an upgraded variant, boasting a bigger 60V battery and an improved hydraulic braking system. This 60V model increases the top speed to 43 mp/h (70 km/h) and adds an extra half-mile to its range.

From what we’ve seen, this is one of the top electric scooters currently available on the market, with hundreds of hours put into R&D and production. All versions of the Apollo Phantom claim quadruple spring suspension, one of the best systems available on an eScooter. Such superior shock absorption and an incredible motor output make this model suitable for both on and off-road use, although we recommend replacing the tires first.

The majority of features from previous models have carried over, including integrated front, rear and under-deck lighting, coupled with a fully folding frame and kickstand. Despite its folding capacity, the ‘Phantom’ weighs a fairly significant 35 kg (77 lbs), whilst supporting payloads of up to 136 kg (300 lbs). This model makes for a ‘must have’ in the collection of any dedicated eScooter enthusiast.

At the time of writing, the Apollo Phantom is only available for pre-order. The standard 52V model costs $2,099 USD ($2,299 USD with hydraulic brakes), with the upgraded 60V model increasing this figure to $2,599 USD.
