📦 Unboxing and Setup: Apollo Go Scooter

Setting up your new Apollo Go electric scooter correctly is the single most important step for your safety and optimal performance. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the unboxing and assembly process.

Preparation and Unboxing

Before you begin the setup, gather a few items to make the process easier and safer:

• Box cutters or a knife

• Stool or bench (recommended so wheels can spin freely during testing)

• Air pump

• Someone to help with removing the scooter from the box

Unboxing Your Scooter

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

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

   • Apollo Go electric scooter

   • Manual

   • Charger and cable

   • Hex key

   • Screw Kit

3. If any of these items are missing, contact the support team immediately.

4. With the help of another person, carefully remove the scooter from the box and place it on a flat surface, ideally a stool or bench.

5. Carefully remove the protective material. Keep both the styrofoam and the box in case you need to ship your scooter back. Recycle the materials where possible.

Assembly

The main assembly involves unfolding the stem and attaching the handlebar.

Unfolding the Scooter

1. Unfold the stem by pulling it to a vertical position until it's completely vertical.

2. Locate the folding latch and bring it up to lock the stem. The latch may require some force to lock fully upright.

3. Secure the safety button of the folding mechanism so it's clipped into the stem. This button prevents the latch from unlocking due to vibration or shock.

4. If the stem is locked into the main body, press the unlock button (indicated by the large arrow on the deck) and pull up on the stem to release it, then follow steps 2-3 to lock it in place.

⚠️ WARNING: Always follow these instructions and ensure the stem is fully secured before every ride. Failure to do so can lead to the stem coming undone, resulting in loss of control, serious injury, or death. Do not operate the scooter if you notice anything wrong with the stem, safety button, or locking mechanism.

Attach the Handlebar

1. Connect the cables: Connect the male cable coming out of the handlebar into the female cable coming out of the front stem. Ensure the pins are aligned before inserting the ports.

2. Insert and secure: Insert the handlebar at the top of the front stem and fasten it into place using the 6 hex screws provided in the kit.

   • Caution: Be careful not to damage the cable when connecting the handlebar.

3. Final Check: Ensure all controls are well tightened and do not rotate on the handlebar.

Post-Assembly Test and Inflation

After assembly, perform a safety and functionality test.

Perform a Functionality Test

1. Power On: Locate the power button on the right side of the handlebar and press it for 3 seconds to turn on the scooter. The display should illuminate. Keep the scooter elevated on a stool/bench.

2. Test Motors: The scooter should be in Kick to Start mode. Spin the wheels manually, and then press the throttle (right-hand side). The wheels should begin to spin normally. A low-speed noise from a motor is normal as it communicates with the controller.

   • Do not operate the scooter if one of the motors is not spinning. Contact support immediately.

3. Test Brakes: Press the throttle for 5 seconds to accelerate, then release the throttle and immediately apply the rear brake. The wheel should stop immediately.

4. Test Gear Change: Press the Power Button quickly once to cycle through the speed levels:

   • Eco mode

   • Comfort mode

   • Sport mode

5. Test Lights:

   • Press the Mode button (M) quickly once to turn on the headlight.

   • Press the Mode button quickly twice to turn on/off the front light strip.

   • Confirm all lights are on: the headlight and the rear tail light.

   • Do not operate the scooter if all the lights don't power on. Contact support immediately.

6. Test Signals:

   • Test your right signal by pressing the arrow button on the right side of your handlebar. Click it again to turn it off.

   • Test your left signal by pressing the arrow button on the left side of your handlebar. Click it again to turn it off.

Check Tire Pressure

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

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

3. Turn on the pump and read the PSI. The ideal tire pressure for the Apollo Go is 50 PSI.

4. Inflate or deflate as needed until the pressure is exactly 50 PSI.

5. Repeat this process for the rear tire.

Congratulations! Your Apollo Go is successfully set up and ready to ride. If you experience any difficulties, please refer to the manual or contact Our A-Team at [email protected].
