Intro

Setting up your scooter right is the single most important step to your safety.

Please note that this process is also available in video format through our help centre. Visit apolloscooters.co/support to view it.

We recommend having the following items ready prior to starting the setup process:

  • Box cutters or knife
  • Stool or bench
  • Air pump
  • Strong friend

Unbox your scooter

Open the box using the box cutter and fold open the top. Inside you should see protective styrofoam along with the following contents:

  • Manual
  • Charger and cable
  • Allen key

If any of these items are missing, please contact us immediately via apolloscooters.co/support.

With the help of someone, remove the scooter from the box and place it on a flat surface. We recommend using a stool or bench as the wheels need to be able to spin freely.

Carefully remove the protective material from the scooter and set it aside. We suggest keeping both the styrofoam and the box in case you need to ship your scooter back to us. Otherwise recycle the materials wherever possible.

Prepare for assembly

Unfolding

  1. The first step is to unfold your Apollo City. To do so, ensure the hook is not clipped into the rear foot rest. If it is, push down on the stem and unhook it from the rear foot rest.
    Prepare for assembly

  2. Unfold the stem by pulling it to a vertical position. Ensure you do so until the stem is completely vertical.
    Prepare for assembly

  3. Locate the folding latch and bring it up, locking the stem. The latch will require some force to lock fully upright.
    Prepare for assembly

  4. Lastly, make sure the safety button of the folding mechanism is clipped in the stem. This safety mechanism prevents the latch from unlocking due to vibration or shock.
    Prepare for assembly

At ach handlebar

  1. Connect the male connection cable coming out of the handlebar into the female cable coming out of the front stem. Make sure the pins are aligned.

  2. Make sure the male port and the female port are aligned properly. Insert the handlebar at the top of the front stem and tighten into place with the hex screw provided.

  3. Caution: Be careful not to damage the cable when connecting the handlebar to the front stem.

  4. You will find that the latches and buttons on your handlebar are not tight. We deliver this way to avoid damage during shipping. Before tightening the screws, adjust the left button panel. Twist it upward or downward until it reaches a comfortable angle, keep in mind that once on a scooter, you will be higher up than you are while setting up your scooter. When you have found a comfortable position, go ahead and tighten the screws.

  5. Repeat the same process for the screws on the right hand side of your handlebar.

Perform test

Locate the power button on the left side of the handlebar and press it for 3 seconds to power on the scooter. You should now be able to see the display powered on. Keep the scooter elevated on the stool or bench, as the testing will involve spinning both wheels.

The scooter should be in Kick to Start mode, to begin testing the motors, spin the wheel and then press the throttle. The wheels should begin to spin normally. You may notice either motor emitting a noise at low speeds, this is normal. The motor is communicating with

the controller and identifying its position as well as which direction to roll in. If after performing this test the wheels are spinning normally, you can now move to step 2.

If you notice one of the motors is not spinning PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE SCOOTER. Contact us immediately through our help desk apolloscooters.co/support

Begin by testing your brakes. Press the throttle on the right side of your handlebar and notice both wheels start to accelerate. Continue to accelerate for 5 seconds, then release the throttle and slam both brakes at the same time. The wheel should stop immediately

Charging

This section focuses on how to charge your scooter correctly. For information about battery health and best practices, please review the Battery Information section.

The battery pack comes with a built-in battery management system. This includes overcharging protection amongst other features, allowing your scooter to stay plugged in even after it is fully charged.

Please note that this applies to short periods of overcharging, such as the scooter being plugged in overnight. Please do not leave the scooter plugged in and charging for extended periods of time as it may result in battery damage or fir

  1. First, ensure the two parts of the charger are connected securely. The wall AC plug should be connected to the charger box. The connection between the cable and box should feel firm with no wobble or play.
    OPERATION

  2. Next, locate the charging port cap on your scooter and open it to find the charging port. Locate the round connector on one end of the charger, this is the end you must insert in the charging port.
    OPERATION

  3. Gently insert the cable
    OPERATION

  4. Proceed to plug the AC plug on the other end of the charger into a 120 volt power outlet. If the battery is 100% full, the charger light will turn green. If the battery is not fully charged, the charger light will light up red.
    OPERATION

How to brake

The Apollo City has two different types of brakes. The regen brake which allows you to capture energy from brakeing and recharge your battery, and the dual drum brake.

The regen brake will allow you to have a smoother and more efficient stop. To use it, press on the left hand side thumb throttle. To control how smooth or abrupt your scooter comes to a stop log in to your Apollo App and adjust the brake preferences. For more information about the Apollo App refer to the App section in this manual.

IMPORTANT:

We recommend you not to use the regen brake when the battery is 100% charged. This can cause an overcharged battery and result in damage to the controller or the battery. You should only start using the regen break when the battery is at 90% charge level or less.

Additionally, keep in mind that using the regen brake for long periods of time (for example a  long downward hill) can generate a lot of heat and have a negative impact on the controller. We recommend using the regen brake only for short period of time

BRAKING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Before taking your scooter for a ride, we recommend for you to adjust the regen brake in your Apollo App. Refer to the App section in this manual for more information.

WARNING:
In rain or wet weather, braking distances increase. A failure to take this into consideration in such conditions can cause component or performance failure, loss of control, serious injury, or death.

Throttle

The Apollo City comes equipped with two thumb throttels, one on each side of the handlebar for ease of use. The left hand side throttle is the regen brake, the right hand side throttle is for acceleration.

The acceleration throttle is designed to be progressive – this means that a soft press on the throttle will exert proportionately little acceleration. Full presure on the throttle will trigger maximum output and therefore peak acceleration.

Folding

  1. To fold, begin by locating the safety button and press it to unlock the folding lever.

  2. Grab the folding latch, and pull it down to fold the stem. Make sure to keep one hand on the stem at all times as it will drop down instantly after the folding latch is released

  3. Pull it down until you feel the latch is fully open.

  4. Fold down the stem towards the foot stand.
    Folding

  5. Make sure it is folded all the way down before moving on to the next step.

We always recommend starting slow and getting used to the scooter before riding for longer distances.

Age

Apollo Scooters are designed to be used and operated by adults and should not be used by anyone younger than 18 years of age. Should the rider have any disabilities or impairments (visual, hearing, language,  seizure, etc), please consult your physician before any ride or purchase of an electric scooter.

Protective Gear

We strongly recommend wearing protective equipment any time the scooter is in use. The equipment includes, but is not limited to, helmets, knee and elbow pads, and protective armour.

IMPORTANT

Do NOT ride under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or substance that could limit or affect judgement, control or rider safety. The rider is fully liable and responsible for riding these scooters with a fully conscious and sober mind, to ensure a safe ride.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Failure to properly maintain your Apollo scooter can cause component or performance failure, loss of control, serious injury, or death.

Getting started

We recommend doing maintenance to your scooter every 6 months to make sure all of the components are working properly. Below you can find the steps to perform a basic maintenance of your Apollo City. However, if you need additional information or help, please contact our support team directly through our help deks apolloscooters.co/support.

A tune up consists of the following steps:

  • Tire pressure check
  • Bearing lubrication
  • Suspension lubrication
  • Brake adjustment
  • Screw tightening

NOTE:
This section is available in a video tutorial which can be found on our help centreapolloscooters.co/support.

You will need a few things to get these done, all of them can be purchased at a local hardware store. If you have difficulty locating these items, contact our support team for help:

  • Electric tire pump/inflator
  • Jig-a-loo lubricant (or any other lithium grease in spray format)
  • Brake pads
  • Blue Loctite
  • Basic toolkit

These are low cost items that, if used regularly, can make your scooter last dramatically longer. In  other words, they’re an investment definitely worth making.

Tire pressure

Let’s get started with a tire pressure check, which will allow you to see the tire pressure of your tires. The ideal tire pressure for Apollo scooters is 45PSI. It is important to keep
you tires at the correct pressure for a better riding experience and to avoid getting a flat tire.

To get started place your scooter on a bench, chair, or box, making sure that the tires are easy to access. Start with the front tire – locate the air valve and remove the safety cap.

Attach the air hose and flip the latch to tighten it. You should be able to power on your electric pump and get a read of the current tire pressure. If it’s below 45PSI, start to inflate until the dial reads exactly 45.

If the pressure is higher than 45PSI, deflate the tire by pressing down on the air valve mechanism. To do so, find a small object such as a pen or key, and insert it into the air valve. You will hear the air escape.

Do so until the tire feels flat, then reattach the electric pump and inflate until at 45PSI. When the tire is properly inflated, put the cap back on the air valve.

Repeat the process with the other tire.

Bearing lubrication

The next maintenance step is to lubricate the bearings. Your bearings are the connection between the rotating wheels of your scooter and the non-rotating frame that holds them stable. As you use your scooter, the friction can cause the bearing to get worn out – we prevent it from happening by lubricating it regularly

Start by cleaning the bearings using with a clean and wet towel, you can spin the wheel at the same time which might make it easier for you to clean. After your bearings are clean, it’s really important for you to add lubricant to the bearings, if you don’t they will get worn very rapidly.

Spray the lubricant generously. Spray directly at the bearings and in the general bearing direction, since they are sealed for better protection. Spin your wheel at the same time to make sure the lubricant is dispersed effectively
Bearing lubrication

Suspension lubrication

Similar to the bearings, the suspension must also be lubricated. The constant movement of the suspension causes friction and may result in noises or squeaking sounds.

Ensure the suspension is clean before lubricating. Spray the lubricant inside the spring and on the travel shaft of the spring located inside the coil. Then spray on the top and bottom pivot points of the suspension.

A good way to distribute the lubricant inside of the suspension spring is to jump lightly on the scooter following the application of lubricant. The up- down movement will create friction and will help distribute the lubricant throughout the suspension system.
Suspension lubrication

Drum Brake Adjustment

Note: this section describes a basic adjusment to your brakes. For an in- depth brake adjustment tutorial, please visit the help centre at apolloscooters.co/support.

Your brakes are an important component of your scooter. If you feel your brakes are not performing as well as they should, you might want to tighten your brakes

  1. The first point of control of your brakes is your brake handle. Locate the adjustment screw at the connection of the brake line to the brake handle. Turn it counterclockwise to tighten your brake
    Drum Brake Adjustment
    Turning it clockwise will loosen your brake. If you have reached the maximum position of the adjustment screw and the brakes are not comfortably tight, proceed to the next step.

  2. Find the brake lever located on the left hand side of the wheel and lift it up. Then gently pull the line down to release the tension on the brake line. If the brake is too loose then you can tighten the nob.
    Drum Brake Adjustment

  3. Release the line and the lever to check the brake on the handlebars. If you find your brakes are too tight now, then you can reverse the process and untighten the brakes a little bit
    Drum Brake Adjustment

A properly adjusted brake should leave about 2 cm of space between the brake lever and the grip handle.

*For a detailed step-by-step video, please visit our help desk center at apolloscooters.co/support

Screw Tightening
Use the included allen key to tighten the screws highlighted on the following graphics. Your scooter motor creates vibrations when you ride it, which may cause the screws on your scooter to loosen over time. We recommend checking your screws every few months to make sure they remain tight. You can use a medium strength head locker adhesive to further improve their stability

Claims Process

APOLLO WILL NOT PROCEED WITH ASSISTANCE UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY WITHOUT RECEIVING A VIDEO OR IMAGE SHOWING THE CLAIMED DEFECT FIRST.

In order to effectively help you get the repair or replacement part needed, you must do the following:

  1.  Submit a repair request by pressing the “submit a request” button on our help centre at: apolloscooters.co/support Our support team will review your request and get back to you within one business day.
  2. If the engineering team determines the component is in fact defective and needs replacement, they will send you the replacement part and written/video instructions on how to repair or replace the component.

If you do not feel comfortable or do not have the time to do the repair yourself, you may use one of our repair centres (labour will be free of charge). However, the customer will be responsible for the shipping cost, taxes and obtaining a scooter box if not still in possession of it. Customers may also deliver the scooter to the repair centre themselves if desired. Contact us to identify the location centre nearest to you.

To be clear, if your scooter faces a manufacturing defect after 30 days or 10km (whichever comes first), Apollo will not replace the scooter with a new unit. Rest assured that Apollo will cover the parts and provide instructions to get this back to safe/riding condition, but replacing the entire unit will not be an option.

THE SOLUTIONS ABOVE ARE APOLLO’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR ANY MANUFACTURE CLAIM ON LIMITED WARRANTY. APOLLO IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES DURING THIS PROCESS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.

Damage During Shipping

Apollo offers the option to purchase additional shipping insurance to cover the value of your scooter in transit. Without that shipping insurance, any loss or damage during shipping is at the responsibility of the  customer. Apollo can assist with opening a claim against the courier for up to $100. If shipping insurance is purchased and the scooter arrives damaged, Apollo will be able to replace your unit (upon verification from the customer support and engineering teams).

If your scooter does arrive damaged, please contact Apollo and provide any images, documentation and proof within 10 days of receipt by submitting this form.

It is the customer’s responsibility to inspect the scooter for any damage upon receipt and to reach out to Apollo immediately.

We hope you enjoy your Apollo City Scooter as much as we loved developing it!
