Nice review, Tim!!
Glad you enjoyed it Nicole :)
Your videos have been helpful , i looked at a lot of different scooters such as the varla eagle one, the zero 8x, zero 10, zero 10x and many others but i finally settled on this apollo ghost 2022 and got lucky when i ordered a few min ago cause they have 15% off all scooters so i saved $330 now i just have to wait for it to arrive. Anyways thanks for making all these scooter videos.
@demonocus metalocus WOW that's so awesome to hear :) hope you'll be happy as I am with the Ghost..love it #Apollo
tim you deserve millions of subs , great video
@Jacob Hudson you're very kind lol :) thank you :)
That intro with you blasting over the mulch was epic. Good video Tim my man!
@Matt thank you so much..that was Michael's idea and when I watched it while editing I thought "that has to be the intro" LOL ...loved it and it's awesome to hear that others liked it too :)
Michael is awesome :) :)
Me again Tim. The roostertail of mulch got my attention as well!!!! Nicely done.
So pleased with my new Ghost. Just finished adjusting the brakes to perfection (didn't upgrade to the hydros). Let's gooooo :-)
I think you're going to have fun :) :) Stay safe :) :)
One point that should matter to fellow Canadians is...Apollo is a Canadian company! (Even though their products are all made in China...but then again virtually all scooters are.)
support Canadian Companies when you're Canadian :) :) Indeed :)
Great review Tim! 300 pound rating is great!
Thanks Tone...I'm loving it...I sound like a McDonalds commercial lol....mmmmm McDonalds :)
Let’s go! Keep these coming. 👏 -will we see you at Micromobility America?
Cheers ESG - not this year...but I think that travel to the US will be easier in the coming months so future events might be attended ...road trip :) :)
Cool thank you. I’m on the market for one
I loved riding it 😀
OHHH myyyyyy Godddd. Scoot Scoot...
The ghost 22 arrived. Not dissapoined in any way. Although my first Scooter, i took to it like a fish to water (past lifetime of ski-doos, sport bikes and water skiing however). Wow.
@Keith B Awesome news :) :) :)
Good job tim👍🇬🇧
Awesome @batcave55, appreciate it :)
I unscrewed the hook and flipped it and it made it work just fine for my Ghost.
Me too...it works 😀
Hey Tim great video. I was wondering do you think Apollo would ever agree to a comparison video of the 22 ghost and the 22 city pro?? I know the ghost is supposed to be off road capable the city is a super commuter but I'd still like to see and hear a break down of the specs comparison as well as a ride comparison. Thanks man.
If I get a City Pro 22 I'd be delighted to compare them :) :)
They are very different however...much less power on the City (but still dual motors on the Pro)
The big thing is that all three will hit that 20mph/32Kph cruise speed which I like and feel safe doing on the city streets :)
I'll do a review/comparison as soon as I get one to try :)
Great Idea :) :) @Antt Mann
Hi Tim
I was thinking that the reason that the stem may not be able to hook into the deck is that the catch on the deck maybe installed the wrong way. Try turning the hook around so that the opened end is towards the kick plate.
Awesome idea...I'l give it a whirl :)
@@TimsElectric this is Apollo's recommended workaround until they figure out an updated hook.
I'll do that...I actually don't use the hook anyway...maybe I'll grind it off :)
I love your reviews on the scooters, I'm 64 and looking for my first escooter Liked-Subscribed 👍
Awesome! Thank you so much! Which scooter are you looking at?
@@TimsElectric I'm stuck between 2, the Nanrobot d6+ 60v and the Varla eagle one pro.....🤔 still not sure
I wish I could help..I only recommend that which I have reviewed and I haven't reviewed either. I expect to review the Pro very soon...but Nanrobot said they would send me one to review...then crickets lol ...I should reach out again but I have a bunch to review..if you're not in a panic you might wait as there's another scooter coming out that I just reviewed that is amazing...I was blown away :)
@@TimsElectric Will do, Thanks for the quick reply, Have you ever tested an Eonmotors Blade 10? I just saw one and it looks awesome wih 2000watts and 60v, They are coming out with a Pro in November, hope you get your hands on one and test it, I'm going to hold up before making my decision, THANKS SO MUCH !
@@GidDree I haven't but it looks really familiar :)
Need to fully lower that swing clamp to reach hook, ran into same issue, its all about angles! Its an awesome peice of machinery loving it since AUG 25 2022! Yup big guy approved im slightly shorter but we have similar girth!
To add I hate Canada GEESE too, I have seen them chase people out of parks here in Vancouver BC!
Subbed as we share ownership hopefully you can have updates on your experience!
@PusoKongPinas thanks for saying hello :)
Those geese are a menace!
For sure, I'll be doing some more videos with it ...one coming soon ...already planning it :)
Thanks for the sub :)
Cheers
@@TimsElectric ok the same issue for fold-clasp has come up now! It seems the hook is soft and is bending to weight! I took a single longer ride today no stopping 15km! Had to shift weight a few times to back foot and I know at times I was on the hook!
Yah from memory to the hook was parellel to deck now its pointed downwards slightly my fix will be stainless steel carabiners until apollo redesigns!
IMO it seems they did not closely look at girth of new stem effecting clasp system need to remember it is .5 inch bigger than old stem!
Please report it too as I will be emailing them issue tonite!
I shared the video with Apollo and they were quick to reply :)
They said "A way to solve this is by turning the hook around, facing outwards instead of towards the stem. "
I'll try it later today or tomorrow :)
Cheers
@@TimsElectric yah they just instructed me also!
Nice to know support is there to help nothing but stellar so far!
Awesome news :)
Hi Tim! Thanks for making this video! Curious if you were able to figure out a fix to the clasp so it latches when the ghost is folded? I’ve ran into the same issue myself 🤷🏻♂️
I think I unscrewed the hook and faced it the other way....I think lol...it's been awhile :)
if you lift the rear tire off the ground while putting the mechanism into the hook it should clip in the kick pad is attached to the rear tire so it will move with the shock.. when you lift the rear tire the the kick plate will drop
@@johnb9605is that how it’s done?
Love your videos. I just got my partner a little Unami e500 and she wants me to get a scooter to go riding with her. I am a bigger guy so I was thinking Zero 10 or Apollo Ghost. I too live in Victoria, do you know if there is a local dealer for Apollo Ghost?
The Ghost or Varla Eagle One would be ideal..Ghost is easier to put in the trunk of a car 🚗
how does the cruise control work on this thing?
like the Zeros you can turn it on or off in the P settings..which reminds me I need to turn it on..I always forget when I'm riding lol :)
Hey Tim. One of these local, 2022 with 250miles. Good condition. They want 600 use for it... good deal?
Seems like a fair price @brunowalkowiak3432, they were a lot more than that new...I'd check it out for sure :)
I rarely fold my scooter, so I personally would probably just take that hook off. Gotta be a better way to fold the bar down. Cheers Tim
Zachary, I think I might do that :)
what happened was the updated version of ghost has a thicker stem.. what i did to fix it is to raise the hook by 1 or 2 millimeter using a washer or O ring..
Turn the hook around, it works great.
I did...I think i'm just going to remove it...drives me nutz and I don't need the hook anyway as I just lift it from the base :)
*I was debating on either this one, the Inokim Ox (super) or the Mantis Fluid edition. I chose the Inokim Ox super.*
how do you like the Inokim?
@@TimsElectric I’ll tell you once It comes and Ive tried it out for a bit. Overall tho this will be the 22nd or so electric scooter Ive tried, I’m making a goal to keep this one and not sell or trade it like the others.
@@Frostorm777 22!!! that's amazing...which one do you wish you had kept the most?
@@TimsElectric probably the Apollo Explorer. It was very fast, had great range, was pretty portable, and was super smooth. It’s the best commuting scooter I’ve used. Definitely would recommend, thx for asking. I only wish it had a back kick plate to give me extra room since I have big feet. The one I used had a thumb throttle, which was very good, worth the upgrade.
@@Frostorm777 I hear you on the foot size (13w here or 14 depends on the factory) ...I'm grabbing the Ghost a lot right now but the stem lock needs to be ground down...it's always in the way :)
Im about to 6,3ft and the explore is quite short for me how does it feel for your height
@Digi mine , I just went and measured to confirm a suspicion I had.
I measured the Zero 10x/Varla and it comes in at 40" and I thought yesterday while riding it that the handlebars seemed lower than the Ghost.
I measured the Ghost and I was right...it's approx 41" but I think I could rotate it up a bit more to almost 42"
Bottom line I'm happy with the height on the Ghost.
However I'm only a bit over 6'
I've tried other scooters like the Dualtron X which was just way too low...but I'm really happy with the height of the Ghost :)
And as I mentioned I think I could rotate it more up..if that makes sense...when I screwed it down out of the box it looks to me like a simple thing to loosen and rotate but I'll leave it as I like the height :)
Love it!!! Deos it have split rims in case of a flat?
Yes. Split rims. Also been strengthened/thickened for 22. Don't even have the Scoot till Monday. Yet have watched the apollo vid demonstrating the tube change a couple times already. :-)
@Doug K sure does s Keith mentions ...and the replacing of the tube is really quite easy (front and back) :)
Cheers Keith...I actually watched the video yesterday too lol :)
It looks super easy to change :)
Facts
on their website...I do feelings :)
Tims electric is this okay to ride when its raining because its rainy season in Victoria atm
I did ride it once in the rain...but I don't think it's a good idea to ride it in the rain unless you waterproof it up a lot.
It's interesting as I just did a photo shoot (and will be doing a full review) of another scooter that is basically waterproof...I can't wait to share it with you all :)
Stay tuned...the thumbnail is going to be nutz :)
Is it worth it to buy the apollo ghost 22?
@@AR_KENNEL_PH I love mine..but I not in the rain :)
Guess what I have the 2021 and 2022 after first ride on 2022 the latch didn’t work as should be. I took the latch from 2021 and didn’t work either. Both latches have same same height and work well on 2021
@cesar colin no way....lol...that's mad!!! :) I think maybe a squished it too much by standing on it...maybe?
To quote Sir Ronster.... When you pass a car whlie standing on a plank, you somehow "Break The Matrix". 😁
@Keith B he's the GOAT :) :)
@@TimsElectric just got back from first night ride. Incredible..
@@keithb4048 I'm so pleased to hear...it's a big purchase and when I hear happy buyers like you it makes me smile :) :)
I would have got wolf king gt pro
but if I'm spending 1,000$ flat I choose laotie es 18 lite
@hunter thanks so much for mentioning the Laotie..I haven't seen or tried one yet...have you?
Can you review the EVOLV Terra and compare it to the Varla Pegasus
@Santi I think I'm going to be reviewing @Evolv very soon :) :)
Awesome idea :)
@@TimsElectric Thanks Tim!
@@santi8751 thanks for watching and giving me ideas on what to film :)
@@santi8751 thank you for watching :)
you have to split the handle bar in the middle then the metal hook on the deck will hook onto the lever. u wouldn't bend it just by stepping on it even if ur 500 pounds. I'm 230lb and it would never happen. have to open the handle bars.
thanks so much @jonathanriding6425, I missed that :)
I think if i do end up getting this one i will take that back hook/latch thingy off
or turn it around ...I'll do that and see if it helps :)
But.... gotta email apollo though. Didn't come with an extra tube.
@Keith B extra tube...inner tube? is that a thing?
I live in Ohio right on Lake Erie and yes those geese are terrifying. If they have babies around and you’re just going for a walk they will literally call for their friends and 30 of them will peck the life out of you. They can kill you!
murderous fowl! :) :)
@@TimsElectric I’m pretty sure you’re just right across the lake from me
@@hyrulemasterchef9573 I'm in BC now on an Island (Vancouver Island) but grew up in Ontario :) with the cobra chickens :)
And.......... wait for it.................the Latch/hook works ! :-)
@Keith B so what you're saying is I busted it :)
What are Canadian geese? Those are cobra chickens. I’m Canadian btw
maybe these Canada Geese had Canadian passports making them Canadian Canada Geese :)
Recess the hook into the foot pedal nothing a grinder can't fix lol
lol...I might try a screw driver first and remove it :) but then there's a hole...duct tape it is :)
Canada geese aka cobra chickens.
I like that...Cobra Chickens...so true :) :)
Weird quality control issue with that hook latch not reaching...
If the Hook is thr Only issue I have when this scoot arrives on Monday.... I'll certainly have No Doubts on my decision to "upgrade" to the ghost 22 from City Pro 22.
City pro in Oct/Nov or Ghost 22 (did I mention arriving on Monday. Woo hoo Scoot Scoot). First scooter Calgary.
I think I probably crushed it under my weight when riding it for the last couple of weeks...I would hardly ever carry it this way..I could pry it open or even remove it :)
I think I bent it...you should be golden :) :) it's an awesome scooter :)
are you excited LOL :) :) have a blast and please wear a helmet ...I bet you've got some trails to hit in Banff that could be epic!!!! :)
This is the worst scooter I have ever owned! From constant inner tube blow outs to cheap hardware, power issues & hydraulic brakes not working. I dont recommend this scooter to anyone. I hope I got a bad batch one because holy smokes mine is garbage.
that's awful to hear...you're keeping the tire pressure up to the recommended? Are you a big guy like me?
@Tim's Electric Yea I keep everything, in order & nothing seems to help the problems. I weight about 190ish
so sorry to hear :(
you know that helmet past 20mph will not protect you there rating stop at 20mph 30km/h over that hope you don't hit head first
you're right...although I typically don't go over 20mph :) but might need a full face for some speed tests next year...any recommdations?
