I wanna see a universal seat that can fit on any Apollo scooter model.
I am so happy this exist! I am no longer having to choose between a scooter or a sit down type of transportation I can just buy the seat if I need it! Thank you for your innovation Apollo Phantom Team!
Since this is first and foremost a scooter, a seat that can clip on and off very quick and easy would be my suggestion. Plus it has to look super cool or I will not attach one either way,. A more contemporary design would be favorable, this one is kinda cool looking but I think you can do better..
Looks to be very high quality. As expected with everything Apollo 👍
I love the quality of that seat! However, it would be nice if it wasn’t screwed in so we could conveniently remove it when we want too. I would also love to see a foldable seat version, or at least a smaller seat to sit or stand on it if we want. I love the brackets for the backpack too! This looks great!
I am very excited about this prototype seat which will appear in future upgraded models of your scooter lineup in 2023 and beyond. Coming from a background where I have upgraded from rigid frame bicycles to electric assist full suspension mountain bikes as well as various motorcycles, I fully realize that seating geometry and good suspension add immensely to the overall enjoyment of riding any two wheeled conveyance. Recently; my research has focused on the Kaabo Wolf GT King (with its seat option) as well as your future Apollo seated versions as well. My intention is to make a spring or summer purchase of a seated scooter with extended battery range for some fun riding and exploration, which will not tire out my knees due to prolonged journeys. Looking forward to see what your final product looks like!
Feedback/suggestions/questions :
- Offer a double seat version (bigger than the one showed here). Perhaps have the seat in the same position but the second person sitting further back, I bet the mount could support someone hanging a bit further back.
- Add a quick attachment system to easily remove or install the seat (this would be a big deal). Being able to remove the seat in a matter of seconds could make it so that the portability of the scooter wouldnt be affected too much. I really hope you guys look into this feature (I can already think of a few ways to do this easily).
- I don't like the look of the basket ... it's too square and wide. Perhaps a basket that has adjustable width could be useful, with more rounded features.
- Make it compatible with other scooter (Ghost, Phantom, etc.).
- Add foot rest for the second riding position.
I'd be willing to pay whatever you ask for if this was added. I was planning on buying a whole new scooter (moped style), this would allow me to convert my ghost. Really hoping this will release in the next few months so we can have it for the next season.
i dont think you need two people on this, your asking for trouble
Nice! You could do a single power cord to the rear basket turn signals. But the signals would be Bluetooth operated. Just a suggestion.
Yea we are seriously thinking about it...
Thanks Christopher
I have the 2020 Explore model and it's perfect. I just bought a new battery, but I was hoping you would have a seat similar to the one that can fit on the 2020 explore model. The reason why it's great is because I can still fold it and put it in a car or quickly remove the seat for easy storage. Please create another model that allows the front post, handlebars, and seat to fold down.
Amazing! Well done! Just add this to my preorder please and thank you.
Agreed lol
My feedback for this product:
- as you said, a wider/ longer seat would be much appreciated on both the single and double rider configurations. As it is right now they seem too small
- the look is very industrial and doesn't match the "edgy" look of your scooters like the Apollo Pro and Phantom. The look of this would work much better with the Ghost.
- Please make a model that could be compatible with the Phantom as it shares a very similar body to the Pro and there's alot of Phantom owners out there (and since I own a phantom lol)
- Foot pegs for the rear passenger
Thanks for your feedback, Waqas!
This is still the first prototype, and our design team definitely appreciates all the feedback that we get! :)
I definitely agree with this I also think it would be cool if there were more cords to hold back back or purse better so it's more secure
Just wanted to add a suggestion with respect to creating adjustable seat height. You could attach two inverted metal "U" shaped brackets (one at the front edge and one at the back edge) under the seat with extended downward legs that have threaded bolts holes at right angles on either side. These could slide into the inner edges of the support frames rising upwards from the scooter foot platform. These support frames could have j-hook support notches at various levels which would allow threaded bolts and lock washers to secure them to the inverted seat brackets. Hope this idea has some merit.
Regards: John M.
I'm not sure if it was mentioned (i might have missed it), but i would like the idea of the seat to be adjustable so it's more comfortable for shorter and taller people
Je suis vraiment fier de vous ! Vive la créativité Québecoise. Vous avez vraiment le "Cybertruck" des e-scooters. Cheers de Sainte-Thérèse ;)
I’m excited for the Pro to come out! It looks so nice! Not a big fan of seats, but I see the market for it
The basket should have the same LED lights as the front but in each corner of the basket with the signal light connected to the corners of the basket with the LED light
Maybe increasing visibility for people and vehicles around you. Some reflectors, or lights on the the seat frame or foot pegs? Doesn't need to be as flashy as the weped cyberfold but just some more visibility of the width of the rider as that will slightly increase. Also, maybe a rear view/ side view mirror accessory would be nice for a seated scooter.
I think the seat is way too big it takes up the whole deck. I would love to see a smaller seat that leaves room for the rider to stand up and ride traditionally
Same I took mine off fuck that shit
If you want bigger deck space then don’t use a seat. This seat is amazing compared to most scooter seats. And it’s great for delivery drivers and transporting. Not everyone uses scooters for sport. It’s about what’s useful and practical.
@@jesuswalkedtheearth I didn’t ask for a bigger deck. What I said was the seat takes up the whole deck and I’d like to see a smaller variation that allows you to stand up on the deck or sit
@@SlowedWings91 Watch the video carefully. There is also a smaller seat. Obviously, a lot of options can be offered to this concept, ex. a trailer, a child seat, flipper seat, etc. 👀
I disagree, I think I goes hard
This should also be made for the Phantom! Would be really nice!
Will this be available for the Phantom V3 as well?
You guys re awesome,but pls make sure they fit my phantom as well.
Should add height options, like small l, medium, and large depending on your height that way for us shorter people would appreciate in case sitting at a traffic light i can put both my feet down. Like other people mention, maybe a bit smaller 🤔?
A double seated scooter would be amazing, but i'm unsure if it would be safe to ride. And yeah, the seat looks amazing too
Would this fit the city pro 2022 or the single seat version you plan on making?
I just ordered the ghost (yet to arrive) and plan to put an easily detachable seat on it with a basket option - Ghost platform has the rear foot "ramp" - that's what I think I'll mount from. If Apollo could do something along the quick release for the Ghost, they'd have a sales winner (quality performance scooter with delivery/shopping/doubling options) - with option Apollo pack$ galore - Pimp my scooter. I'll send picks if I get mine working.
would love to see a carbon fibre alternative to reduce weight
Please make the seat height adjustable so people with different heights can be accommodated properly.
Feedback on the seat:
Love the idea, and it looks great too.
Single seat vs double seat: Judging from the way you were sitting on the seat in the video, it doesn't look possible for a 2nd rider to sit on there. You were sitting very near the middle of the double seater, and I believe that if you tried to fit a 2nd rider and scooted yourself to the front edge of the seat, it would look very uncomfortable for the driver.
Suggestion 1: Maybe it would make sense to extend the foot rests more forward so that it would be more comfortable for the driver to scootch forward to accomodate a 2nd rider. Unfortunately, that would mean the driver would be very close to the handlebars, and I don't know if that is safe.
Suggestion 2: If there is a 2nd rider for a double seater, should you have a 2nd set of foot rests?
Suggestion 3: Perhaps leave the "double seat" as it is as use it for as the standard for the single rider. To accomodate the 2nd rider, why don't you figure out putting in a seat where the basket goes? Since you said the basket is easy to remove, maybe design a seat that can fit into the basket slot.
That's all I have for now! Exciting to see all the new things you guys are making!!
Ouh hopefully you come up with something for the ghost too. I like the basket. I think you should have highlights for visibility though. Perhaps some orange accents or reflectors?
Very cool!
How much is it?
After getting my scooter it has been very difficult to attach anything to it. accessories are a must have. Glad your thing about this. Take a cue perhaps from the bicycle and motorcycle world for ideas. No need to re-invent the wheel here.
How about making the bungee cord the signature Apollo orange?
Oooooooo snap i said the same thing…. I should have look at comments first lol
And when the new school to come out that you guys are showcasing now I’m planning on getting that one as well
I have every Apollo school except for the first two you guys me and yet I signed up to try out for the new one and I got no response back I’m like the biggest Apollo scooter fan more than the guy you guys always have on your channel
Perhaps something a little simpler like the Seagway ninebot seat ? the one thats made with tubular steel and comes with helmet bag.? Just a reference.
It would be nice to have second foot stand that's adjustable in case want to carry a passenger.
Noted
Suggestions! Double Seats and ajustable front seat height!!!
I have the Apollo city pro 2022 the ghost 2022 the phantom V 60 number two and I’m planning to upgrade it to the upgrade kit
In New York state it's against the law to have 2 people on an electric scooter.
I have the Apollo Ghost V2 version-It will go 40 mph. Standing or sitting?
A seat is good for commuting but I think standing is more fun.
When it’s going to be available?
Are you guys going to make one for the phantom v2 ?
Hey Jimmy,
At this time this seat will be only for the Pro, however we have not fully eliminated this option for the Phantom just yet!
Given that the stem is so tall, the proportions are wildly different from any moped/bike so it looks quite odd to be honest, kind of looks like you bolted a saw-horse to the deck lol. I do see the benefit, like riding normally, of being more visible to traffic as your not sitting on a tiny frame.
It might help to reduce the seat length to allow easier entry/exit like a traditional moped, and to better balance the aesthetics so the seat supports doesn't look so brutalist compared to the rest of the heavy-duty modern/cyber design.
Please make the seat compatible with other models too like Phantom and Ghost.
Will it fit all models
Is the seat available now?
You said the height is perfect for you? How tall might you be?
How about a seat can mount on and easy to take off when doing cleaning or maintenance 😅
Wow thats alot of metal. over kill perhaps?. Perhaps a more stream lined version. The basket needs places for hooks or straps I think. My delivery bag is about 14 inches. perhaps its better if its flatter so it can handle different size bags?
Seat is too big but i do like stability
The seat looks cool and the base looks sturdy, but it takes up the whole deck. Would be nice to be able to sit or stand without having to take the seat off
Thanks for the feedback!
You would trade the backpack storage area for more deck space?
@Eloi Pecquet Personally, yes. But others might like it. Maybe have a few different seat models so people can decide?
the seat looks like it needs to be further back. the position your in does not look comfortable or safe. you should be able to extend your arms if you want for a more stable grip at higher speeds.
Concerned about the weight. I'm a bigger guy, and added weight like that will drain my battery much quicker! Also looks very big and bulky
The hook under the seat should be more of a hook. I can see my bag sliding off going down a bumpy hill
The concept of a basket is great as many will use it. As shown it is not ideal ........an option should be a 600 mm cube minimum (deep) so I can truly use it weekly to run my errands and get groceries at the store. It should be an Apollo wire basket also. The design with the removable basket via the arm is poor. You already have a strong vertical seat leg.........so why cant the basket just have a sturdy clip on (hooks). This way it can be easily removed if the rider wants to alow a second rider. Just thinking out loud.
The seat is obnoxiously long, taking up way too much space.
Hi Mike,
We have a single-seater double-seater available. The used seat in the video is the double-seater, but customers can opt for the smaller version as well :)
Very disappointed with the lack of design - obviously an engineering approach - you need a real designer. Its ugly and inappropriate to mount this monster on a City scooter.
A tiny bit of steel goes a long way , we just want a little seat not a couch with 4 legs!
It needs to be universal, and needs to be fast-attach and fast-detach. I love the look, but I would not buy it if it makes me lose the portability that's inherently the value in a scooter of this size.
Suggestion et inspiration pour Éloi: th-cam.com/video/m2uTceGgnHI/w-d-xo.html
So, Everyone wanted a scooter,Thought it was cool,loved riding around on it because its a scooter not a Bike, Motorbike or moped, only to Stick a seat on it and go BACKWARDS to being basically....A MOPED! Why not just simply buy a Moped in the first place,Further range,More comfortable, Doesn't need to be recharged,and is gonna last Wayyyyyy longer 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Just get an ebike at this point lol😁
I put custom phone signal lights on my phantom 2 60v the Same as the all new peo an i got stop so many time cause others thougt it was part of the upgrad kit i told them No just something i had Custom
Uhhhh, go back to the drawing board😂
Lol
It’s a high performance scooter not a moped. Seat is not something I would add to a scooter
When is it available in Canada? I don't see it on the website.
All i want to know, is when it be ready to purchase all version of it ????
You should consider doing the Bungee cords to be orange, since you have accent oranges on the scooter. I think that would look cool,!! Is the seat going to be adjustable like up and down, for shorter and taller riders ??
