Apollo Explore 2.0 Unboxing and SetupUpdated 7 days ago

Setting up your Apollo Explore 2.0 electric scooter correctly is the most crucial step for your safety. This article will guide you through the unboxing and assembly process.

🛠️ Items Recommended for Setup

Before starting the setup process, it's recommended to have the following items ready:

• Box cutters or knife

• Stool or bench (The wheels need to spin freely for testing.)

• Air pump

• Someone to help

📥 Unbox Your Scooter

1. Open the box using the box cutter and fold open the top.

2. Inside, you should find protective styrofoam and the following contents:

   • Apollo Explore electric scooter

   • Manual

   • Charger and cable

   • Hex key

   • Note: If any items are missing, contact support immediately.

3. With the help of someone, remove the scooter from the box and place it on a flat surface, ideally a stool or bench so the wheels can spin freely.

4. Carefully remove the protective material and set it aside. It's recommended to keep both the styrofoam and the box in case you need to ship your scooter back. Otherwise, recycle the materials.

   • Note: The Quad Lock mount is not included with the scooter and must be purchased separately.

🛴 Assembly: Unfolding the Scooter

1. Ensure the hook is not clipped into the rear foot rest. If it is, push down on the stem and unhook it.

2. Unfold the stem by pulling it up until it is in a vertical position. Make sure it's completely vertical.

3. Locate the safety latch on the side of the folding mechanism.

4. Lower the safety latch to lock it into the notch.

5. Next, locate the folding latch and lift it to lock the stem in place. This may require some force.

6. Ensure that the safety button of the folding mechanism is engaged in the stem.

⚠️ WARNING: Always follow the unfolding instructions. Failure to ensure the safety button is clipped and the stem is fully secured before a ride can lead to the stem coming undone, resulting in loss of control, serious injuries, or death. Do not operate the scooter if anything is wrong with the stem, safety button, or locking mechanism.

⚙️ Assembly: Attaching the Handlebar

1. Remove the four hex screws from the handlebars.

2. Connect the male connection cable coming out of the handlebar into the female cable coming out of the front stem. Make sure the pins are aligned. Caution: Be careful not to damage the cable.

3. Insert the handlebar at the top of the front stem.

4. Tighten the handlebar in place with the six hex screws provided.

✅ Perform Initial Test

After assembly, perform these quick tests before your first ride, with the scooter elevated on a stool or bench so the wheels can spin freely.

1. Power On and Motor Test

2. The scooter should be in Kick to Start mode. Spin the front wheel manually, then press the right-side throttle.

3. The front wheel should begin to spin normally. (A low-speed noise is normal as the motor communicates with the controller.)

2. Test your left signal by pressing the arrow button ('<') on the left side of your handlebar. Click again to turn off.

6. Tire Pressure Check

1. Grab an air pump and locate the air valve on the front tire.

2. Remove the safety cap and attach the pump tube.
