Riding home after dark this time of year?
Short days. Dark rides home. Be seen from 500 feet.
When the sun's down before you clock out, the ride home happens in the dark. The Phantom Stellar is lit from every direction drivers come from, with brakes and suspension built for roads you can't fully see.
"It's such a pleasure riding this to work every day. I am incredibly visible at night with the deck, lights and stem lights."
Phantom Stellar owner · verified review
"The riding experience is phenomenal."
WIRED"An excellent combination of smooth ride and top-tier build quality."

Most commuter scooters light the road ahead. The Phantom Stellar lights you, from the front, the sides and the back.
Apollo Beam headlight. A vertical, eye-level beam that drivers actually register, visible from up to 500 feet away.
360° lighting. Stem and deck lighting make you visible from the side, where cars pull out of driveways and cross streets.
Always-on rear cluster. It runs continuously and flashes when you brake, so the driver behind knows you're slowing.
Front and rear turn signals. Built into the stem and deck, so you can signal without an arm out in the dark.
"A small thing like having a turn signal button on each side and making an audible notification as well as showing it on the screen is something I didn't even know I needed until I bought the stellar."
Jordan H. · Phantom Stellar owner

Shopping for a commuter?
Riding home in the dark? Ask these first.
Every spec sheet lists a headlight. These are the questions that matter at 5 pm in December.
"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."

Built for the ride home
Seen. Stopped. Steady.
01 · Seen
Visible from 500 feet.
You need to be noticed earlier than a normal headlight allows. The Apollo Beam projects a vertical, eye-level beam that drivers actually register. Turn signals sit in the stem and deck, and the rear cluster runs continuously with a brake-activated flash.
- Visibility Up to 500 ft
- Coverage 360°
- Signals Front and rear
- Rear Brake-activated flash
02 · Stopped
Brakes you trust in the dark.
When something appears at the edge of your light, you need to stop now. Four-piston hydraulic calipers on ceramic pads and 2.3mm rotors give you strong, progressive braking, and adjustable regen handles everyday slowing.
- Calipers 4-piston hydraulic
- Rotors 2.3mm
- Pads Ceramic
- Regen Power RBS, adjustable
03 · Steady
For the pothole you didn't see.
125mm of DNM dual hydraulic suspension and 11 x 4 inch tubeless tires that seal small punctures on their own. When the road surprises you in the dark, the scooter stays planted instead of skipping.
- Travel 125mm
- Adjustment Rebound + preload
- Tires 11 x 4in, self-healing
- Water resistance IP66

Straight answers
Questions commuters ask.
How visible am I really at night?
The Apollo Beam headlight projects a vertical, eye-level beam visible from up to 500 feet. Stem and deck lighting cover the sides, the rear cluster stays on and flashes when you brake, and turn signals are built into the stem and deck. Owners notice: I am incredibly visible at night with the deck, lights and stem lights.
Do I still need a helmet light or reflective gear?
The Stellar's lighting is built in, so there's nothing to clip on or remember to charge. A helmet is always a must, and reflective clothing never hurts. The more ways drivers can see you, the better.
Is it worth $2,499 for a commuter?
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.
It's $500 off right now, or $105/mo at 0% APR with Affirm*. And you can return it unused within 14 days.
How does it handle cold evenings?
Cold reduces range on every lithium battery, so plan for less distance on winter evenings than in summer. Apollo rates it at up to 56 miles in Eco at a steady pace; speed, rider weight, hills and temperature all bring that down.
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.
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. Owners say the weight is part of why it feels so planted: Even though it is quite heavy, that weight also makes it feel solid and stable on the road.
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 61 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, lighting requirements 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. Visibility depends on conditions; lighting does not guarantee that other road users will see you. Performance and range vary with rider weight, terrain, temperature, tire pressure and charge. This product is not available for shipping to New York State.
