One reason why Veo touts itself as one of the first in its industry is that it fully designs each of its micromobility components in-house. The company does not borrow from popular motor and battery manufacturers such as [Bafang](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revv1) or [Shimano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpha-ii). The Veo Apollo has a riding scooter-inspired design with a full step-through frame, a long dual-passenger rear seat, and minimal moving parts. The battery, motor, and drivetrain are hidden within the frame under the seat, resulting in a clean, approachable design. The Veo Apollo features a 750W motor and a maximum capacity of 400lb, including the two riders. The Veo Apollo is slated to release in early 2023.
