Live somewhere with real hills?
Every city has that hill. Stop dreading it.
Your scooter crawls up it and scares you on the way down. Dual motors pull you up grades rated to 25°, and four-piston hydraulic brakes bring you back down in control.
"...it truly is amazing going up and, much more importantly, going down the very steep streets in parts of DTLA, Highland Park, Echo Park, San Pedro etc."
David · Phantom Stellar owner, Los Angeles
"The riding experience is phenomenal."
WIRED"An excellent combination of smooth ride and top-tier build quality."
CNET"Build quality is impeccable."

Is your hill winning?
Tap every one that happens on your usual route.
Be honest. Your hill already knows.
That's how it starts. More miles on the same grade only make it worse.
Every box you ticked is something the Phantom Stellar was built to handle, going up and coming down.

Shopping for a hilly city?
Got a steep route? Ask these first.
"Climbs hills" is on every box. These are the questions that decide whether you'll still ride your route in a month.
"The dual motors provide plenty of torque for hills and quick takeoffs, while the hydraulic brakes inspire confidence at higher speeds."

Built for steep streets
Up. Down. Every day.
01 · Up
Two motors that don't back off.
A single motor runs out of torque halfway up a steep street. The Phantom Stellar splits the climb between two 3350W peak motors, and the MACH 3 controller delivers that power progressively, so it pulls hard without the jerk.
- Motors Dual 3350W peak
- Combined peak 7,000W
- Max incline 25°
- Battery 60V 30Ah, 1,800Wh
02 · Down
The half nobody talks about.
Four-piston hydraulic calipers on ceramic pads and 2.3mm rotors give you strong, progressive stopping that doesn't fade on a long descent. Adjustable regenerative braking does the everyday slowing and feeds energy back into the battery.
- Calipers 4-piston hydraulic
- Rotors 2.3mm
- Pads Ceramic
- Regen Power RBS, adjustable
03 · Every day
Planted when the pavement isn't.
Steep streets are rarely smooth ones. 125mm of DNM dual hydraulic suspension, with rebound and preload you adjust yourself, keeps the 11 x 4 inch tires on the ground over cracks and patches, so you keep grip and control on the way down.
- Travel 125mm
- Adjustment Rebound + preload
- Tires 11 x 4in, self-healing
- Max rider load 330 lb

From Apollo riders in hilly cities
"Hill climbing ability,
better brakes."
"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."
Adam D. · Phantom Stellar owner"I especially like the range, the strong braking system, and the overall quality of the scooter."
Ulysse J. · Phantom Stellar owner"Acceleration is insane, (I'm 220lbs) and the hydraulic suspension makes the ride buttery-smooth and incredibly stable at speed."
Bradley R. · Phantom Stellar owner"Insane power, yet incredibly controllable. Built like a tank, but rides like a Rolls."
Rónán · Phantom Stellar owner"Acceleration is smooth yet responsive, hill climbing is effortless, and the dual suspension combined with the self-healing tires makes city commutes unbelievably smooth."
Sergei D. · Apollo City owner, Canada"I never expected such rapid acceleration, tackling hills with ease, and a very smooth ride."
Marc · Apollo City owner, Canada
Steep streets are hard on any machine

Straight answers
Questions hill riders ask.
How steep can it climb?
Apollo rates it for inclines up to 25°. How it climbs your particular hill also depends on rider weight, battery charge and temperature. On the very steepest streets, owners use the stronger riding modes. One put it plainly: Sport mode needed for the most serious hills still.
How do the brakes cope with long descents?
Four-piston hydraulic calipers on ceramic pads and 2.3mm rotors give strong, progressive stopping that resists fade. Adjustable regenerative braking handles everyday slowing and feeds energy back into the battery, so the hydraulics stay ready for when you need them.
Do hills cut the range?
Yes. Climbing uses more energy on every scooter. Apollo rates it at up to 56 miles in Eco at a steady pace; hills, speed, rider weight and cold all bring that down. It has the largest battery in the Phantom line, a 60V 30Ah Samsung pack.
Is it worth $2,499?
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 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.
Can I ride it on wet hills?
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. On wet descents, give yourself extra stopping distance, as you would on any vehicle.
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 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. Climbing ability, braking distance, performance and range vary with rider weight, gradient, surface, terrain, temperature, tire pressure and charge. This product is not available for shipping to New York State.
