Why on earth would Dagwood be skeptical about a scooter with the amazing specs listed below? Check out this episode and find out. You will also hear Scooterstar Tim West's initial thoughts and a member of the Electric Scooter Guide team interview Apollo representatives in a bar in Amsterdam.
The as yet unreleased Apollo Pro features over 150 custom made components, unibody construction and an aluminum frame. The "Mach 1" controller was designed in Canada.
The Pro has an integrated SIM card that will allow owners to track and lock their scooters (when your phone is closer than 16 feet away) via the Apollo App.
The IoT (Internet of Things) allows owners to track battery temperature and how long until the next charge-- in real time. Top speed, light intensity and color, horn, and more can also be customized via the Apollo App. The only way I'd customize top speed would be to max it out.
The Apollo Pro comes with front and back turn signals. Apollo claims the 360-light system makes the Pro "highly visible" but even according to them sucks up a ridiculous amount of juice from the battery because they used RGB technology rather than LED.
When a scooter can be made "invisible" you won't need to buy a lock, carry a key or remember a PIN code. I personally don't believe in locks or PIN codes and suggest you keep the scooter by your side no matter where you go and eliminate the possibility that your scooter will be stolen. You may be "scooter jacked" but if that happens just whip out those kung fu skills that are renowned throughout the land.

The kickstand comes out from under the scooter deck and allows you to prop the scooter up off the ground, similar to some motorcycle kickstands, in case you need to change the oil. Wait, scooters don't use oil...
Apollo claims this is the most waterproof scooter yet. It has a tight seal around the deck, allegedly making it "fully waterproof." Can't wait to try this out in my swimming pool.
