Replacing NFC Card on Your Apollo ScooterUpdated 3 hours ago

What You'll Need

  • A compatible NFC tag (see specs below)
  • The Apollo App
  • Your scooter on hand for pairing

Why You Can Source Your Own Replacement

Apollo doesn't sell standalone replacement NFC cards directly. The current lineup runs on a standardized, universal NFC frequency, so any tag meeting the specs below will pair correctly with your scooter — no need to wait on an Apollo-branded part.

Compatible Tag Specifications

When shopping (Amazon carries packs of 5–10 for around $10), confirm the listing meets these specs:

  • Frequency: 13.56 MHz
  • Protocol: ISO/IEC 14443 Type A
  • Supported chips: NTAG215 or MIFARE Classic 1K

Form Factors to Look For

  • Key fobs (best for keychains): search "NTAG215 key fob" or "13.56MHz key fob"
  • Wallet cards: search "NTAG215 PVC card"
  • Stickers (stick to your phone case): search "NTAG215 sticker"

Steps

  1. Buy a compatible tag — Confirm the specs above before checkout.
  2. Remove the old NFC card — Take the old card out of your scooter.
  3. Pair the new tag — Open the Apollo App and follow the in-app pairing flow to link the new tag to your scooter.

Tip: Once paired, the new tag works exactly like the original — tap to unlock and start your scooter.

Troubleshooting

The new tag won't pair Double-check the frequency and chip type match the specs above. A 125 kHz tag or unsupported chip won't register even though it looks identical.
