- Heavier riders have different needs when it comes to electric scooters. However, 3 things you don't need to compromise on are speed, range and ride quality.
In this video Sean (155LBS), faces off against Randy (276LBS) and Justin (360LBS). Our scooters of choice are the Apollo Phantom and Ghost, and they do not disappoint.

thank you guys so much for making this. seriously it’s tough to find out weight limits for products like this, and finding a distinct answer is usually never easy and ruins any motivation i had for getting into this stuff.
You guys have the greatest marketing team in the business. Montreal proud!
Love seeing PEV tests for bigger riders like this! It’s harder for heavier guys to get a good idea of how PEV’s perform for us, and it can be frustrating, so love to see stuff like this.
I weigh 215lbs and pre-ordered the city pro 2022. This video is a godsend! Just reassured me I'll be able to tackle my commute hills to work and home! Live in the Lachine area and work in lasalle!
I have no hills to climb, and with my bag I'm about 230lb. I imagine load on scoot will be 240lb after I add a bag and lock, pump, etc. This video doesn't cover the CP22, but at least with these huge guys on these scooters the performance doesn't drop off a cliff.
You think this is a godsend for you, I finally found someone my size testing out these scooters; 6'4 370lbs WEEEEW
AWESOME BIG DOG RIDERS VIDEO!!!! We're out here riding too! Maybe a big dog approved scooter (hint).
Holy crap, a scooter test video for bigger guys with a guy above 300lbs, thank you so much! Phantom is at the top of my list now!
I wonder if the Solar pro 1 or this scooter would be better for my 6'2 300 lb frame
@@firstinlastout I bought the solar P1 Pro. 350 miles in no issues.
@@firstinlastout I'm also 6'4 350 and it rips
@@leonscottkennedyre4 thanks for the reply.
@@firstinlastout no worries man. If you have any questions feel free to ask. 330 lb listed limit and a tier warranty or the big reasons why I chose them
Wow ✨️ As a Digial Nomad & part-time VanLifer on the 'thick-side', i need one of these for sure! Thanks for sharing😊
I'm 195 lbs and 6'2" i reached 70 km/h on my Phantom 52v V2 with a strong back wind , most commonly 65 km/h and going on a long steep hill in Ile Perrot I can keep 40 Km/h , Impressive! Now I can't wait for spring to test out my V3 upgrade. As for range, my favorite ride is going to Lachine 32nd avenue by car, from there I ride the bike path all the way to old port and then back again to Lachine (32 km) and at the end I have 25 km remain. Keep in mind the scooter itself is almost 80 lbs, I would say it's the only negative, I'm a strong guy and need to hustle it inside and out my condo, my girlfriend can't so for her we need to look for something more like an Apollo city pro.
I'm 6'3 200 and was wondering if I would like extra tall on it lol
We loved doing our video of the phantom v2.. can't wait for the v3 nice work
Am in love with my apollo ghost but i did some tune in it like change the whole stem system, and transform with 2 Well am loosing the folding option but i loved it 🥰
Awesome video. Thank you. I just got the 2022 Ghost a couple of weeks ago and am 250 pounds. I have wondered what range I can get out of it. I am estimating about 45 km in gear one and single motor.
With dual motor in mode 1 you will get better range. Have fun.
What was the P-Settings for Motor Power on the Phantom for these tests?
We left both scooters on their default settings, so 100% maximum power :-)
I'm in love with the city 2022 with the cook of it however I dunno how good it will be with a bigger rider like myself and these guys.can you do this test again with the new scooters please
We can definitely do a similar test!
City 2022 Pro as well please.
can prob start showing new range data. or add in a fuction to your app to adjust estimated range based on weight and past rides (i.e. to and fro destinations)
For the tires on the City 2022, its not clear the estimated distance one would expect before needing to be replaced. And how easy/hard is it?
Useful video. I wish watch another demo with Apollo City 2022, Pro as well. I'm 6'2" and curios to see how those guys feels riding new Apollo City.
Thank you for the feedback. When the Pro is ready we will definitely produce that video - Randy
Hello Apollo. I wonder if the Solar pro 1 or this scooter would be better for my 6'2 300 lb frame. Thanks.. Norm in Miami Florida
Just got my apollo explore v2 few days ago.. scooter is speedy and tough. Accidentally drove over a medium sized tree brach and the scooter mowed tru it. After a few seconds, I accidentally drove sideways over a slightly elevated kurb which made me slip while riding (nearly fell). The scooter can definitely take a beating. It only sustained few scratches haha
Glad to hear you're enjoying your scooter! Just be sure to take good care of it ;-)
I might have jumped the gun by ordering the Phantom. I'm a short guy and weight 140 lbs. I guess I'll have no issues with speed and hills.
I can attest the Apollo pro has AOLT of power! I pulled a gorilla cart full of water with my twin boys last summer. It had no problem with power, stopping was a different story.lol
I’m 343lbs and 6’1.5” and it truly is painful to find into this stuff with this weight, i mean my weight is around half muscle but also around half fat so i still have pretty impressive balance and coordination and agility etc (believe it or not) like someone who weight much less, so that’s why I would love to ride with these, but I think Segway GT2P is my choice which has 330lbs weight limit
look into the circooter mate! 440lb payload!
Awesome video! Im 6 ft, 245 lbs, live at the beach zero hills, 5 miles from my work, and would like to just cruise around town, unfortunately I cant spend tons of money.....any suggestions?? Im really clueless at rhis point, thank you
Will this be a good ride for me at 6 foot 7 inches
Was the 52v or 60v phantom used? Really looking at the phantom for black Friday
I weigh only 110lbs lol so I got 64km/h on my Apollo ghost and about 45 km range dual motor speed mode 2
What batteries were in these scooters during testing? That would be good to know
170 Duracell AAAs
They were the stock batteries for each scooter:
52V 18.2aH for the Ghost
52V 23.4aH for the Phantom
Hope this cleared things up :)
@@ApolloScooters thanks for the reply I've got the explorer now and everyday I hold off on buying the phantom just need an excuse to buy it😁
@@ApolloScooters just my opinion you should offer different skins for the explorer deck I'd buy some
I really wish I could afford the Apollo Ghost
I work for UberEats on the Hiboy S2 Pro & desperately need an upgrade
Hi River, you will not be disappointed with the ghost. You’ll definitely get around town effortlessly.
We do offer great financing options if that is something you’re interested in. - Randy
@@ApolloScooters
Hmm, I can try it
Wonder if they'll ask for a down payment 🤔
When you going to make a review of the Apollo ghost 2022? Please 🙏🙏
We are filming a video next week and it will be up shortly 😊- Randy
Great video just want to see the city pro 2022 in this video as well! Do it have the same max weight as the phantom? Cause I’m thinking of ordering it but my Weight is around 130kg!
Hi @Mr Schteek! The City Pro has a maximum weight capacity of 120kg, so we would recommend either the Ghost or Phantom for you :-)
@@ApolloScooters I'm in a similar boat as Mr Schteek. I've seen a review site suggest that the City Pro could handle up to 135kg, due to it's good build quality. If someone was to marginally exceed the 120kg mark (no more than 10%), would it result in diminished performance only, or could it be a safety issue?
Any other choices within the $500 to $800 range
Apollo Air
Big boys represent
For the past 3-4 weeks. I been checking in everyday to see the new Apollo explore v22...... Sigh. Would you please just release it already! T-T
Hi Moon! There is no Explore 2022! Are you thinking of the City? - Randy
@@ApolloScooters was there supposed to be another release scooter. Your team already released, the new air light, city and pro.
Good video
Fantastic
Ive been eyeing the Phantom and as someone who is 5'10" 285, how much of a decrease in speed would I get?
We break it down in the video. You should get similar results to Randy :)
@@ApolloScooters thanks for the reply, I ended up pulling the trigger on the phantom 60v…
Who would care to sponsor my scooter fund? I Don't need the full price, just a little off the top lol
Fun vid
What are the warranties on these things?
Hi Mario, you can read our full warranty policy here:
apollo-help-center.gorgias.help/en-US/warranty-policy-24659
@@ApolloScooters wow that was a fast reply.
I’ve looked at other scooters and tried to get information and got nothing.
I’m going with Apollo seems legit 💪
Yeeeeees f= m x a still work just fine 👌🏻
I’m 6’5 any options?
Hey there!
The new City 2022 (pro or regular), Ghost 2022 or Phantom could be great options for you! We'll share the distance from the deck to the handlebars for you to have an idea of the stance you'd have!
City 2022: 41.5 inches
Ghost: 41.5 inches
Phantom: 42 inches

We need apollo ghost with thumb gas
We offer a thumb throttle Upgrade for the Ghost! apolloscooters.co/collections/upgrades/products/apollo-thumb-throttle
@@ApolloScooters i love it thanks
Shit we fat people want to be cool too😂😅
I couldn't understand anything you were saying.
What wasn’t clear?
Im 341 ip
I’m 6’8” and weigh 450lbs. I’m so damn exhausted by videos on all types of products for “big guys”… and then the video will be made for 6’3” 300lb tiny little pip-squeaks. Quit lying and wasting my time.
Same here man. I'm 6'6 and 425. Us big guys want to have some fun too.
eat less
😀✌
Super bad customer service dont fall for this.
Hi @Mariscos, we're sorry to hear that. How can we help you? Please send us a DM on our Facebook page and we would be happy to look into it for you!
Bullshit. I’ve got a V2. Like everything about it. One flat 750 miles. No problem. Tired of negative reviews. These are people who wish they had an Apollo Scooter. Loosers
