Apollo Servicing & Support Center

The lifespan of Apollo scooters depends on various factors that influence the durability and longevity of their components. Here's an integrated guide on what affects the lifespan, including specific component estimates and influencing factors:

1. Usage Intensity: The frequency and intensity of use can impact the overall lifespan of an e-scooter. If an e-scooter is subjected to heavy usage, such as daily long-distance commuting or rough riding conditions, it may
   experience more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

2. Maintenance and Care: Regular maintenance and proper care can extend the life of an e-scooter. Following the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance, such as routine inspections, tire pressure checks, and cleaning, can help prevent issues and ensure optimal performance.

3. Battery Life: The battery is a crucial component of an e-scooter, and its lifespan can significantly impact the overall life expectancy. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in e-scooters, have a limited number of charge cycles before their capacity starts to degrade. Proper charging practices, avoiding extreme temperature conditions, and appropriate storage can help prolong the battery life.

4. Environmental Factors: The operating environment can influence an e-scooter's lifespan. Exposure to extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, or harsh weather conditions can accelerate wear and corrosion of the scooter's components, potentially shortening its lifespan.

5. Weight Capacity: The e-scooter's weight capacity should be considered when determining its life expectancy. If the scooter regularly carries loads exceeding its recommended weight limit, it may put excessive stress on the motor, frame, and other components, leading to premature wear and potential failure.

Component Lifespan Guide:

• Minor Components:

  • Brake Pads: Need replacing roughly every 500km (approximately 300 miles).

  • Inner Tube: Typically needs replacement after the first flat, which may occur within 3-6 months, depending on use and maintenance.

  • Tire Shell: Generally lasts about 1-2 years, depending on riding style.

• Major Components:

  • Battery: Expected to last about 600 charge cycles, with variations based on storage and charging practices.

  • Motor: The BLDC motors can last indefinitely under normal conditions, barring any unforeseen issues.

  • Frame: Designed to last indefinitely unless it sustains significant damage or corrosion.

Understanding these factors and component lifespans helps Apollo scooter owners anticipate maintenance needs and recognize the importance of proper care and usage patterns.
