Started on a Segway, Ninebot or Gotrax?
You didn't outgrow scooters. You outgrew yours.
It proved you love riding. Now it dies on hills, rattles over every crack and makes you nervous on the way down. This is the one you buy once you know what you need.
"I have 4 segway scooters but none if them feel as good as the apollo. The apollo feels like its price tag."
Ryan V. · Phantom Stellar owner

WIRED"An excellent combination of smooth ride and top-tier build quality."

"It was either the phantom Stellar 2.0 or the Segway GT3 Pro. The 360 ° lights for visibility and the ability to fold down and lock was the selling point for me."

The first five minutes
Three upgrades you'll feel
before the end of the street.
01 · The ride
The road goes quiet.
125mm of DNM dual hydraulic suspension, with rebound and preload you adjust yourself, on 11 x 4 inch tubeless tires that seal small punctures on their own. Cracks and potholes stop being events. The scooter stays planted instead of skipping.
- Travel 125mm
- Adjustment Rebound + preload
- Tires 11 x 4in, self-healing
- Max rider load 330 lb
02 · The stop
Brakes you actually trust.
Four-piston hydraulic calipers on ceramic pads and 2.3mm rotors. Strong and progressive, and they don't fade on a long descent. Adjustable regenerative braking handles everyday slowing and feeds energy back into the battery.
- Calipers 4-piston hydraulic
- Rotors 2.3mm
- Pads Ceramic
- Regen Power RBS, adjustable
03 · The power
Serious power that doesn't feel angry.
Two motors and the MACH 3 controller deliver power progressively, so it pulls hard without the jerk you get from cheaper high-power scooters. Tune the throttle curve in the app: soft for every day, sharper when you want it.
"Compared to my Segway GT2, the Stellar doesn't have that crazy initial yank, but honestly? It feels more grown-up."

From riders who traded up
They had a scooter.
Then they rode this one.
"Well the old scooters aren't cutting it and so I purchased a Phantom 2.0 stellar and wow! This scooter is far and away better than my old one."
Anthony P. · Phantom Stellar owner"I've owned several scooters in the past and was looking to upgrade. ... while reading the specs on paper I was concerned I might be left wanting more, I couldn't have been more wrong."
Jordan H. · Phantom Stellar owner"I've had an NiU KQI3 Pro, a 2022 Apollo Ghost, and now this newest Phantom 2.0 Stellar."
David · Phantom Stellar owner, Los Angeles"Was going to buy a Segway, I'm glad I bought an Apollo. My local shop (not an Apollo dealer), I talked to th lead mechanic and he steered me away from Segway."
Andrew C. · Phantom Stellar owner"Insane power, yet incredibly controllable. Built like a tank, but rides like a Rolls."
Rónán · Phantom Stellar owner"Almost every aspect of the Phantom 2.0 Stellar says "I'm this way on purpose, for a practical reason"."
Brendan H. · Phantom Stellar owner
The part budget brands skip
Built to be owned,
not just sold.
Your first scooter came with a box and an email address. This one comes with technicians, parts and a frame that's covered for as long as you own it.
"I've had awesome experiences with Apollos cs team I'm a customer for life !!"

The real comparison
You already paid once to learn what you need.
Your first scooter wasn't a mistake. It was research. Buying another one in the same class means paying again for the same single motor, the same springs and the same ceiling, plus the mail-in repairs. The Phantom Stellar is the one you don't have to replace: $2,499 this Black Friday, or $105/mo at 0% APR*, with a frame that's covered for life.
"compared to my experience with Gotrax & Solar scooters that broke down on me in just 4.5 months"

Straight answers
Questions upgraders ask.
Is it really worth $2,499 over another cheaper scooter?
Owners are honest about it: The price is the only con. It's a lot. However, I was not disappointed.
Another said: I saved up, it's a ton of money to me, and so far Apollo has delivered on every promise.
Another entry scooter usually means buying the same ceiling again. The Phantom Stellar is built at a different level. It's $500 off right now, or $105/mo at 0% APR with Affirm*. And you can return it unused within 14 days.
Is it too much scooter for me?
If you've ridden an entry scooter regularly, you're ready. Eco and Normal modes are calmer than most commuter scooters, and the app lets you soften the throttle so power arrives gently. One owner put it this way: It's a bit overkill for commuting but the added range, hill climbing ability, better brakes and better suspension are worth it for frequent use.
How heavy is it?
107 lb, and it carries riders up to 330 lb. It folds, but it's a garage or ground-floor scooter, not one you carry up three flights of stairs. The weight is where the battery, brakes and suspension come from, and owners get used to it fast: at first I said this is to big and heavy, but 2 days later after using it I said: I'm no going back to something less than this scooter.
What range will I actually get?
Apollo rates it at up to 56 miles in Eco at a steady pace. Ride faster and you'll see meaningfully less, because speed costs energy on every scooter; rider weight, cold and hills matter too. One owner commutes 17 miles each direction
and still has battery left when he gets home.
Can I ride it in the rain?
It's rated IP66 water-resistant, so wet roads, puddles and rain showers are fine. It isn't waterproof: don't submerge it or pressure-wash the electronics, and let it dry after a wet ride.
Is it legal to ride?
Rules are set by state and city, and most cap speeds well below the Stellar's top speed. Ludo Mode (53 mph) is for private property and closed courses. The lower modes are what make it usable on public paths and roads. Check your local regulations before you ride.
What happens if something breaks?
The frame (stem, neck and deck) is covered for as long as you own it, and major components for 12 months, or 24 with the extended warranty option. There are 60+ certified repair centers and in-app support from Apollo technicians. Find your nearest one.
Should I wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
No need. Apollo guarantees this is its lowest price of the year, and it runs through Cyber Monday, November 30. Ordering now also enters you in this week's refund draw. Find it cheaper elsewhere and Apollo price-matches it.
How does the weekly draw work?
Every order placed by Sunday 11:59 pm ET is automatically entered in that week's draw. The winner's order is refunded in full and announced on Monday. No purchase necessary; full rules are on Apollo's Black Friday page.
How fast will it arrive, and is it hard to set up?
In-stock orders ship within 24 hours and arrive in 2 to 6 days. Setup is quick: one owner had it fully built and ride-ready in about 15 minutes
in his building's mailroom.
Can it ship to New York State?
No. The Phantom Stellar's top speed is above 20 mph, so it can't be shipped to New York State addresses. Every other state ships free.
Ride responsiblyThe Apollo Phantom Stellar is designed for adult riders aged 18 and over. 53 mph is achievable in Ludo Mode and is intended for private property and closed courses. Speed limits, helmet rules and permitted riding areas vary by state and city, and it is the rider's responsibility to know and follow local law. Always wear a helmet and protective gear. Performance and range vary with rider weight, terrain, temperature, tire pressure and charge. This product is not available for shipping to New York State.
