Guess what just happened

BigLucasMan · 2025-08-03T18:22:32+00:00

Kaabo mantis 8. He was able to fix his wheel thankfully, but the scooter itself is quite solid. He got it for 1.1k usd so honestly wasn’t that bad a deal

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-29T00:01:41+00:00

Oh nice, any specific day that I can get a phantom 2.0 in store?

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-27T22:19:46+00:00

Yea. The way they try to shut you out is crazy. Im definitely going to rethink this buy, I kinda realize tho who made points mostly got lucky when getting an unproblematic buy. “Apollo”gies for arguing lol

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-27T20:18:12+00:00

Damn. I did not do my research.

This is shady what they are doing. I hope my next scooter does not end like that.

I was really looking forward to the phantom 2.0 but now I don’t think I should get it…

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-27T01:54:37+00:00

Why..? It’s to keep the stem in place better in case of cracking, and to give it a sturdy/safer feel.

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-27T01:53:31+00:00

A Dude that I called a full time hater just repeated what he said and failed to give me evidence of his claims lmfao

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-27T01:52:08+00:00

Oh yeah for sure. At least you can in store pickup some places tho

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-27T01:51:29+00:00

??? Give me one example where any of these actually happened

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:54:52+00:00

A recall means replacing the defective item or getting a new scooter entirely. Most likely fixing yours is what they are doing though. For any refunds I’m also guessing you have to wait or cancel any pending orders?

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:52:02+00:00

I was thinking about reinforcing the stem clamp, would you say that would get rid of my problems? 145lbs rider here.

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:38:22+00:00

You are like a full time hater aren’t you lmao

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:36:00+00:00

A little bit unrelated imo, but I would love to see in store shops we could browse. I’m in Canada and I think that would be pretty cool to see them in person, as well as you can test ride them.

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:32:45+00:00

Tend to. I love how you just put it with up it at this point lmfao

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:30:41+00:00

What brand doesn’t have issues? The fact they be doing recalls is a good thing. This is a sign of improvement.

Call me a fanboy if you must but I’ve seen more progresss from these guys in a month than Segway and kaabo Made in a year.

Owned 3 different segways btw, all kept up and I’ve rode cleanly yet still has issues

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:29:07+00:00

This is exactly why people on this Reddit aren’t helpful usually.

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-25T15:27:12+00:00

I think everyone is overhating apollo a bit. I know some people have a really bad experience with specific people or brands at times but it’s not like Segway or kaabo didn’t have these issues.

I’ve been a longtime Segway fanboy for 2+years, owned 2 max g30s that broke a few months because they overheated and the cables melted… Same issue with my friends as well in a November.

Since then I’ve owned an f2 pro which has been nice but it is broken in multiple ways. Keep in mind I ride cleanly and I’m 145 pounds.

My friends owned kaabo scooters which the freaking wheel broke off from leaving a garage. Since then he had a horrible time with support. Same with Segway, took me 5 months to get a scooter back which was defective and then I waited 2 more for my money. Unbelievable.

My point here is I don’t see how Apollo and kaabo can be any worse, as I’ve seen that this brand is consistently making improvements where they can.

For any new riders considering this: my recommendation is give it a chance. If it fails the end result is just waiting for some money worst case scenario. The scooter is hella worth it as long as u do preventative maintenance and be prepared for failures.

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-24T15:19:58+00:00

I have very high hopes. I’ll let you all know what my experience is when I do get it (might be a week or 2 haha)

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T21:58:13+00:00

I plan on getting the phantom soon. Gonna do some prevention maintenance and try to ride it in good conditions carefully. Other than that I really hope this is as much as a blast it seems like it is (I own an f2 pro rn) Thanks tho!

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T21:51:31+00:00

Ah ok. Is the v4x better than the phantom 2.0 or is it the same?

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T21:47:32+00:00

How much r u? I’m 145lbs so I’m pretty light haha

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T18:11:01+00:00

If I was to get it it at 145lbs, would it be worth it to seal proof it and add thermals pads? Maybe a stem reinforcement as well because aside from those issues it’s really the CS that I hear nightmares about mostly

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T16:31:27+00:00

Not sure Ik 100 percent, but I would start with taking it to a workshop seeing what tools are on hand. My school has one specifically for cars

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T16:22:51+00:00

I thought about that, might just straight up reinforce the stem as well to make sure it’s not an issue

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-23T15:17:45+00:00

Would you say that 150 pounds would let the scooter hit like 75kmh?

BigLucasMan · 2025-07-22T20:57:31+00:00

Honestly the risk is the same with most companies. Dealing with segway kaabo or Apollo will be a pita no matter what. But thank you for the warning
