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
- Buy a compatible tag — Confirm the specs above before checkout.
- Remove the old NFC card — Take the old card out of your scooter.
- 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.
