An effective safety mechanism, the key ignition prevents anyone
from powering on the Phantom without the key. To power on the
scooter, simply insert the key and turn clockwise. To power off the
scooter, turn the key counter clockwise. You can remove the key
from the ignition when in this position.
The Apollo Phantom comes equipped with a thumb throttle. The
throttle is designed to be progressive - small rotation of the throt-
tle will exert proportionately little acceleration. Full rotation of the
throttle will trigger maximum output and therefore peak accelera-
tion.
When starting we recommend accelerating slowly to learn the sen-
sitivity of the throttle. Please note that acceleration strength can be
adjusted in the settings. Please visit the Settings section and review
page 12.
The Apollo Phantom is available in two brake configurations - me-
chanical and hydraulic disc brakes. Both of these brake systems are
very similar to bicycle brakes you are likely familiar with. To apply
the brakes while riding, simply press on the brake handles. Do so
slowly and cautiously, monitoring the braking force being applied.
What is unique to scooters is the rear/front configuration. The le
brake handle is the rear brake, while the right brake handle is the
front brake. We recommend braking using both brake handles
simultaneously divide the braking force between the front and rear
mechanisms, rather than overexerting one.
