'Apollo,' the United States-based electric scooter manufacturer, recently announced the 'Apollo Pro.' This is the company's self-proclaimed "best scooter ever" that combines fan-favorite features from each of the company's previous releases. One of the most notable additions is the display on this scooter. Rather than having a minimalist built-in display that shows basic information, the Apollo Pro has a handlebar-mounted phone clamp that allows riders to use their phones as an all-in-one smart display.
Aside from its innovative phone mount, the Apollo Pro features an unprecedented performance with a max speed of 43 miles per hour and a range-per-charge of 62 miles. This is powered by 21700 lithium battery cells that have full fast-charge support, refilling the full battery in only a few hours. On top of this, the scooter has re-gen braking that can charge the battery up to 10% while decelerating.
Customers can reserve an Apollo Pro online for $20 in advance of the full release this Friday, July 29th, 2022.
