Phantom 2.0 (52V/60V Stellar)

I have an [Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar (60V)](https://apolloscooters.co/products/apollo-phantom-2-0-stellar) and would prefer it over a Segway. I bought it for something like a grand over what it's selling for right now, but it feels like a lot more thought was put into its design than of something like the Segway GT3 Pro. I don't really care about looking all flashy like I'm on some sort of race scooter or something, I just want something practical that is also powerful. Plus you get the variable regen throttle which is awesome IMO. And don't underestimate all that lighting to keep you safe at night! If you want something that doesn't struggle on hills that is probably the best experience you can get in a scooter right now. (There are more powerful scooters but with compromises.)

Not sure if the slightly more range is worth the worse user experience (lack of variable regen throttle is now a deal breaker for me). Surprised to see how much smaller the Apollo's battery is though; that actually makes up *more* than the range difference since the Segway is less power-efficient...

> It's surprising to me not more manufacturers focus on better regen innovation. They can't; Apollo patented it. > On the flip side, it's surprising to me Apollo doesn't have a 72V scooter. Idk, their 60V allegedly outperforms many 72V scooters. They've said they went with 60V because it was easier to push the limits of their controller with 60V than it would've been with 72V (IIRC). And I think I'd agree that getting the most of 60V is preferable to a less efficient 72V

Yes, the lights change color but I can understand why Apollo went back to white, because I think the majority of riders preferred white, and it was doubly a cost-savings measure. I did play around with the light colors, did some blue, turquoise, purple, and ultimately went back to white in the end. In regards to the orange spring, the Phantom 2.0 Stellar has that as well, I do like the color contrast, gives it its signature look.

Apollo Phantom 2.0. I’m around 270lbs, and I have the Stellar edition of the Phantom 2.0. It’s built like a tank, has insane power and range, and looks great too. I highly recommend it.

I bought the GT3 Pro but it pulls way too hard with no ability to lower the power. I dont mind the power but I ride on pretty bad hilly roads so the GT3 Pro was actively trying to kill me. I switched to the Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar since it has an acceleration slider in the app.

Haha it can rip on max acceleration. It’s a core body workout.

Here's my list of fun scooters I've owned and ridden, and a colleague's, that are better than the Segway Max G3. Kaabo Mantis X Plus 31mph, dual motors, adjustable suspension, and 65lbs. Kaabo Mantis King GT is the same as the above, but 43mph & 73lbs. Apollo Phantom Stellar 2.0 (PS2.0) 60v a freaking beast & bright as an UFO but 100lbs (best looking scooter). Apollo Go 28mph, easy folding & 49lbs (best commuting scooter). I have the Go Stellar & Teverun Fighter Mini Pro 2026 2.0 in pre-order. I can't wait to get these.

41 and I'm carving up the streets and bridges of Seattle on my Phantom 2.0

I recently bought an Apollo Phantom 2.0, but it started squeaking really badly after just two weeks. The customer service I received was quite poor. They kept sending me YouTube videos that weren’t relevant to the specific areas they were telling me to work on. I ended up reaching out to a Facebook group to help me complete the task. The Facebook group was more helpful than Apollo‘s own service team. However, I still can’t align it properly to get the bolts put back in. Apollo Then informed me that I could submit it for repair, but it would cost me. The nearest service centre is 400 kilometres one way, which is now my only option. I completely regret buying the scooter.
