This policy is valid as of November 1st, 2022.
Our 12 month limited warranty ensures that owning a scooter is a smooth and easy process. In the event that issues do occur, we designed this policy to be generous and support our customers in getting the necessary help as quickly as possible. Please read on for further details.
This policy is part of our General Terms & Conditions, which you can find here:
All Apollo Scooters (“scooters”), are covered with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects for a period of:
ONE (1) YEAR on the original components of the scooter outlined in the chart below; and
10,000 KILOMETERS on the the scooter frame (includes the stem and the deck). This only applies for 2023 scooter models sold after June 1st, 2023 only (“New Models”). This includes the following models:
Apollo City 2023
Apollo Air 2023
Apollo Phantom 2023
All models purchased before June 1st, 2023 will still be eligible for the standard 1 YEAR warranty on the scooter frame.
This policy starts on the day the scooter is received by the customer and also includes open box refurbished orders. This limited warranty coverage is only applicable in the following conditions:
The scooter was purchased from Apollo directly or one of our Authorized Repair Centres. Apollo Scooters bought through our distributors are not covered by the Limited Warranty.
Information regarding the original purchase (name listed on the shipping address of the associated order and order number) is required to the limited warranty coverage which commences on the day the scooter is received by the customer. The warranty period is terminated on the first day of the second year from the original date of delivery.
The limited warranty is applicable to the list of covered repair services, which includes the following:
The remaining parts of the scooter are considered wear & tear and are not included in the limited warranty as they are not manufacturing defects.
The 10,000 warranty on the scooter frame includes any structural damage to the frame that are considered defects in material or workmanship. The frame warranty will exclude any cosmetic damage like scratches or dents.
The estimated price may differ slightly across the various models and the condition of the scooter after inspection. The prices and time shown are based on a normally maintained scooter with no other complications which may cost more time and effort to repair/replace parts.
If the defect is not reported within the timelines above, the components will not be covered by warranty.
Prices are exclusive of any sales tax, shipping charges, and Apollo Ship+ Service to and from our repair centre.
For scooters deemed covered under the limited warranty, the costs in the above table will be waived.
If, upon inspection, your limited warranty is deemed to be void, you will be responsible for the cost of the repair service and and components required to complete the repair.
Repair Shipping (To Apollo)
When shipping your scooter to our Apollo Repair Centre, you will need to create a return label and you will be responsible for the shipping costs. We require that you ship the scooter in the original box, or a box that is purchased from us. If you do not package the scooter correctly and it arrives damaged, you will be responsible for any additional repair costs. We strongly recommend you purchase Apollo Ship+ Service. If you choose to not purchase Ship+, we strongly recommend you insure the contents of your delivery with the courier.
Return Shipping (Back to customer)
Once your scooter is repaired, our A-Crew will create a return label and ship the scooter back to you. You will be responsible for the shipping costs. Please refer to the Return Policy for updated standard shipping costs for each scooter model.
Component Shipping (Covered under warranty)
If you feel comfortable repairing the scooter yourself, our A-Team will create a shipping label on your behalf and ship the replacement component to you. You will be responsible for the shipping costs, but the Limited Warranty will cover the cost of the replacement part.
IT REMAINS THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE APOLLO ENGINEERING TEAM TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE CORE COMPONENT OR SCOOTER ARE DEFECTIVE AND IF THEY ARE COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY. APOLLO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO VOID THE LIMITED WARRANTY IF IT IS DEEMED THAT THE CUSTOMER BREACHED THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY AS OUTLINED IN THE EXCLUSIONS SECTION.
You have the option to go to any Apollo Certified Shop for warranty and non-warranty repairs.
Certified Shops are authorized to charge their standard hourly and diagnostic rates. If the Certified Shop charges more than Apollo's rate for warranty repairs, you will be responsible for paying the difference.
Certified Shops are authorized to charge a Diagnostic Fee for warranty repairs, which you will be responsible for covering. If you prefer Apollo to diagnose the issue remotely, this service is free of charge. To start a remote diagnosis with our team, please submit a ticket.
More information about Apollo Certified Shops and their rates can be found at the bottom of these pages:

Apollo QC+ Service was launched on November 1st, 2022 and as of this date replaces the Apollo Protection Plan on all new orders as of this date. For orders placed before November 1st, 2022, please refer to the Apollo Protection Plan section.
For defects that occur within the first 10km or within the first 30 days (errors out of the box), customers can return the scooter for a new replacement scooter under Apollo’s free guarantee, subject to Apollo QC+ Service Terms and Conditions:
Apollo QC+ Service Terms and Conditions
If your scooter faces a manufacturing defect after 30 days or 10km (whichever comes first), Apollo will not replace the scooter with a new unit. Apollo will service the scooter under our limited warranty if it is covered.
If it is determined that your scooter is covered under Apollo QC+ Service, you will first need to ship the defective scooter back to Apollo before we send your replacement scooter. We will create a shipping label for you free of charge and will ship your replacement as soon as it is confirmed that the defective scooter has been shipped back to us.
The default resolution for accepted QC+ claims is replacement.
Refunds will only be offered if the same model of scooter is out of stock at the time of the claim.
We require that you ship the scooter in the original box and packaging. If you do not have original packaging, your scooter will not be eligible for return. If you package the scooter incorrectly and it arrives damaged, your return will not be accepted.
You will be required to upload an image of the QC card with your claim, as well as images and videos of the defect.
There is a QC card that comes attached to every Apollo scooter. It can be found hanging on the handlebar as shown below.
The QC card shows some of the most important items included in the final Apollo QC checklist and the inspector's information so that we can follow up if there are any issues.
NOTE: Apollo QC+ Service includes all components of the scooter, with the exception of specific parts including tires and inner tubes.

Owner's Responsibility
As a purchaser and owner of an electric scooter, we ask that all customers do their due diligence before purchasing a scooter to understand the maintenance needs required for these machines. Electric scooters will always require tightening screws, cleaning to avoid rust and squeaky brakes, and proper winter storage. Our A-Team is always here to help if you have any questions regarding maintenance - we always rather you ask than try it yourself. We also kindly ask to always keep your scooter box with you (you may need a repair or maintenance in the future and boxes are expensive to ship). We require that you ship the scooter in the original box and packaging for returns.
Apollo Scooters has the right to amend this policy at any time.
