(1) Are electric scooters waterproof?

All of our scooters are IP54 water resistant. This translates into withstanding light rain and riding on wet surfaces, but we recommend avoiding riding in heavy rainfall. If you plan on using your scooter in rainy weather, consider adding waterproofing to your purchase.

(2) Can electric scooters be used in the snow?

We don't recommend riding directly on the snow, however if roads are properly maintained, you can ride in winter. Keep in mind that your scooter is "water-resistant" and not "water-proof", therefore prolonged exposure to snow is not recommended. Secondly, your battery's ability to hold charge will be affected by the low temperature - you will notice a drop in range. This is not a permanent problem and your battery's capabilities should return to normal once the temperature increases back to 10-20 degrees Celsius. Finally, be particularly cautious of turning - scooters are two-wheeled vehicles and slipping is particularly dangerous.

(3) Can I bring my scooter on public transit (e.g. bus or train)?

This will vary from city to city, but generally yes. We have verified that public bus and train services in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal do allow electric scooters to be carried on board. The keyword here is "carried", not "rolled" - take the size and weight of your scooter into consideration if you plan on using it for last-mile commuting in addition to taking the train or bus. We recommend calling your local transit services and confirming whether scooters are allowed on-board prior to making your purchase.

(4) What's the best way to lock an electric scooter?

This will vary across models, however the most secure locking spots are typically any hollow, but centrally located parts of your scooter - such as neck stem on the Mercane Widewheel or front wheel on the Apollo City. Contact us for specific locking instructions with the model name and lock type at support@apolloscooters.co.

(5) How do I charge my scooter?

Please follow the instructions in your scooter manual. The process is similar across models - always plug the wall-plug into the AC outlet first, then connect the charging port to your scooter. While all scooters sold at Apollo come with advanced battery management features (such as overcharging protection), we recommend unplugging the charger once your scooter is fully charged. Do not leave your scooter with less than 40% for extended periods of time and try to charge it frequently, keeping the battery charge level near or at full. If you notice your charger is overheating or smoking, unplug it immediately. For additional questions regarding charging, please contact us at support@apolloscooters.co.

(6) How do I store my scooter in the wintertime?

There are a few easy steps that will ensure your scooter is in top shape come spring time:

1. Keep it dry and warm - just like you, electric scooter batteries don't like cold and humidity. Store yours in a dry and heated location, ideally between 15°C - 30°C.
2. Ensure it is at 75% charge or more - as a rule of thumb, the ideal battery charge level during storage is 75%. Do not let it drop below 20%, but also don't overcharge it as this can be very harmful. The sweet spot is between 75% and 85%.
3. Check it monthly - power your scooter on once a month to see if the charge level is holding up or dropping. If you notice that it's lower than what it was originally, charge it up to the 75% - 85% level once again before putting it back.
4. Don't ride in the snow - riding in the snow can allow humidity to enter the case of your scooter, corroding the electrical parts. We know it might be hard to part with your best friend for the season, but it's best to avoid exposing it to snow and salt.
5. Avoid overcharging - though most scooters come with a battery management system which includes overcharging protection, it is damaging to the battery cells to overcharge them for extended periods of time. None of us will unplug our scooter the second it's charged, but we can all try to minimize the amount of time it's overcharging for.
6. Lubricate bearings - last but not least it's important to keep your bearings greased up! You can use regular WD-40 to spray over your wheel bearing while the wheel is being turned. Afterwards, wipe off excess lubricant with a paper towel.

(7) How old do I need to be to ride an electric scooter?

We recommend electric scooters for individuals aged 16 or older, though this will depend on provincial laws and whether legal guardians are comfortable assuming responsibility for the underage individuals using electric scooters.

(1) I don't like my scooter - can I return it and get a refund?

Yes - as long as the product is returned within 14 days of delivery and remains in brand new condition. For more details on the process, please visit Returns & Refunds.

(2) My scooter came with a manufacturing defect - can I exchange it?

Of course - please contact us at support@apolloscooters.co within 14 days of delivery with proof of the defect, and we will provide a return shipping label. We will inspect the unit upon reception and once we verify the existence of the manufacturing defect, we will ship out a replacement unit right away.

All returns/exchanges are subject to validation and approval at Apollo’s discretion.

(3) What is Apollo Scooters' warranty policy and what does it cover?

All scooters sold by Apollo scooters come with a minimum of 12 months of warranty. The Apollo line-up (Light, City, Explore, and Pro) come with an additional 12 months of coverage for a total of 24 months. In general, the warranty covers manufacturing defects with some exceptions, however it does not cover wear and tear. For more detailed information on what is included and excluded, please visit the Warranty page.

(4) If I resell my product, is the warranty still covered?

Warranty transfers are possible - but please contact Apollo Scooters beforehand as your request for warranty transfer needs to be approved (due to fraud prevention or black listed customers). Please contact us with your order number and reason for resale, and we'll get back to you with if the transfer is approved or refused.
