Done waiting for dry roads?
Wet roads aren't a reason to stay home.
From Seattle drizzle to Florida downpours, most scooters spend the wet months in the garage. The Phantom Stellar is IP66 water-resistant, grips on self-healing tubeless tires and stops on 4-piston hydraulics, so the rain stops being the reason you don't ride.
"The added peace of mind is invaluable, especially in a city like Seattle where roads can get challenging due to constant rain."
Happyfayes · Apollo City Pro owner, Seattle
"The riding experience is phenomenal."
WIRED"An excellent combination of smooth ride and top-tier build quality."

Tom's GuideThe rain test
Is your scooter built for where you live?
Tap every one that sounds like your last rainy month.
Be honest. The weather won't change. Your scooter can.
Every one of these is a ride you didn't take. They add up fast in a wet climate.
Every box you ticked is something the Phantom Stellar was built to handle.

Two numbers that decide
if you ride in the rain.
An IP rating has two digits. The first is protection from dust, the second from water. Here's what the Phantom Stellar's rating means under the IEC 60529 standard, and what it doesn't.
Good to go
- Rain showers and all-day drizzle
- Wet roads, wet paint and wet leaves
- Puddles and spray from passing traffic
- Rinsing off road grit with a gentle hose
Use common sense
- Don't ride through water deep enough to reach the deck
- Don't aim a pressure washer at the display, charge port or electronics
- Let the charge port dry before you plug in
- Wipe it down and store it somewhere dry
Fair-weather scooter vs all-weather scooter
Most scooters are built
for dry days.
"The DOT 2.0 display, on the other hand, is sunlight-readable and quite sturdy, with no exposed fragile pieces to break or leak."

Riding in the rain? Ask these first.
Every scooter looks waterproof in a sunny product photo. These are the questions that decide whether it survives your wet season.
"There are some import brands that claim IP67 water resistance, but one look at their handlebar setup and you know that the rating applies just to the wheels and deck (and even then, I have my doubts)."
Mike C. · Phantom Stellar owner
Built for the wet season
Three things that matter
when the road is wet.
01 · Sealed where it counts
No exposed screen to leak.
The Phantom Stellar is rated IP66 and UL 2271 certified, and its DOT 2.0 display sits inside the cockpit instead of on an exposed bracket. It's anti-glare, so it stays readable on bright, wet mornings too.
- Water rating IP66
- Certification UL 2271
- Display DOT 2.0, anti-glare
- Phone mount Quad Lock adapter included
02 · Grip and stop
Smooth stops on wet roads.
Wide 11 x 4 inch tubeless tires put more rubber on the road and seal small punctures on their own. Four-piston hydraulic brakes are strong but progressive, and the regenerative braking can be softened in the app so slowing down stays smooth when it's slick.
"I think the softness of the regen break might be a safety thing; it's easy to slip if breaks bite too hard especially when it's wet."
Leo U. · Phantom Stellar owner
03 · Seen in the grey
Visible through the spray.
Rain, spray and early dusk make every rider harder to see. The Apollo Beam projects up to 500 ft, with 360° lighting, turn signals in the stem and deck, and a rear cluster that flashes when you brake.
- Visibility Up to 500 ft
- Coverage 360°
- Signals Front and rear
- Rear Brake-activated flash

From riders in wet places

"It still works well even in rain. It has a very solid built type feel to it."
Leo U. · Phantom Stellar owner"The fact that it's water-resistant and dust-resistant is a big plus too."
Donald M. · Phantom Stellar owner, Alberta"And not only does it look great, but it also doesn't have a lot of exposed electronics like LCD screens that are likely to break or leak."
Mike C. · Phantom Stellar owner"IP66 Water Resistance- My Apollo City Pro performs excellently in wet conditions- maintaining great grip and control."
Happyfayes · Apollo City Pro owner, Seattle"The Apollo Explore 2.0 is great and has survived the Florida rainy season no problem!"
Martin L. · Apollo Explore 2.0 owner, Florida"Vancouver has had only one sunny day. But it was great inaugural ride. Took it easy. Will push it a bit next ride! Loving so far !"
Allan L. · Phantom Stellar owner, Vancouver
Worried about water damage?
Built to be owned,
not just sold.
Water trouble usually starts with a low rating or an exposed screen. The Phantom Stellar has neither, and if anything does go wrong, there are people and parts behind it.

Your wet season
is riding season now.
In the Pacific Northwest the drizzle runs for months. On the Gulf Coast, storm season soaks the roads in an afternoon. Either way, a fair-weather scooter sits in the garage while you drive. Black Friday is Apollo's lowest price of the year, it ships within 24 hours, and the rain stops deciding when you ride.
The real comparison
A scooter you only ride when it's dry is a half-year scooter.
Every rainy day it stays home, you're back to the car, the bus or the rideshare. In a wet city, that's most of the year. The Phantom Stellar is the one you actually ride all season: $2,499 this Black Friday, or $105/mo at 0% APR*, with a frame that's covered for life.
"It's pure concentrated fun to ride."
Leo U. · Phantom Stellar owner"can't wipe the smile off my face."

Straight answers
Questions wet-weather riders ask.
Can I really ride it in the rain?
Yes. It's rated IP66 water-resistant: dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, so rain, wet roads, puddles and spray from traffic are fine. It isn't waterproof, so don't ride through water deep enough to reach the deck, and don't submerge it.
I've heard of scooters dying from water. Why is this different?
Water trouble usually starts with a low rating, exposed connectors or a screen bolted onto the bars. The Phantom Stellar is rated IP66 and UL 2271 certified, and its DOT 2.0 display is built into the cockpit. One owner put it this way: The DOT 2.0 display, on the other hand, is sunlight-readable and quite sturdy, with no exposed fragile pieces to break or leak.
Follow the basics: wipe it down after a wet ride, let the charge port dry before charging, and don't aim a pressure washer at the electronics.
How do the brakes feel on wet roads?
Four-piston hydraulic brakes give strong, progressive stopping, and you can soften the regenerative braking in the app so everyday slowing stays smooth on slick surfaces. Wide 11 x 4in tires put more rubber on the road. As with any vehicle, leave more stopping distance when it's wet.
Will drivers see me on grey, rainy days?
The Apollo Beam headlight delivers up to 500 ft of visibility, with 360° lighting, turn signals in the stem and deck, and a rear cluster that flashes when you brake. Bright clothing still helps.
What about range in cold, wet weather?
Apollo rates it at up to 56 miles in Eco at a steady pace. Cold temperatures reduce range on every battery-powered vehicle, and riding faster uses more energy. The 60V 30Ah Samsung pack is the largest in the Phantom line, so you still have plenty for a typical commute.
How heavy is it, and where do I keep it?
107 lb, and it carries riders up to 330 lb. It folds, but it's a garage or ground-floor scooter. Store it somewhere dry after wet rides.
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?
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. IP66 means water-resistant, not waterproof; do not submerge the scooter. 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, and allow extra stopping distance on wet surfaces. Performance and range vary with rider weight, terrain, temperature, tire pressure and charge. This product is not available for shipping to New York State.
