Apollo is recalling about 3,900 Apollo Phantom V1, V2, and 60V electric scooters because a stem bolt can break or loosen during use. This defect can cause the front wheel and suspension to separate from the scooter while riding, which poses a serious fall risk. Apollo has received seven reports of the bolt failing, including three reports of injuries involving cuts, bruising, and abrasions. These scooters were sold online through various retailers between June 2021 and May 2023. Apollo is providing a free replacement bolt and repair instructions to all affected consumers.
The stem bolt connecting the scooter frame to the front suspension can loosen or break, causing the wheel assembly to detach. This mechanism of failure can lead to an immediate loss of control and a fall, which has already resulted in reported injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scooters and contact Apollo for a free replacement bolt to repair the scooter. The firm will send instructions with a video link demonstrating how consumers can install the new bolt on their scooter at home. Apollo will also make its servicing and partner locations available to any customers to have the bolt replaced or tightened free of charge. Apollo is contacting all known purchasers directly.
"Apollo" is printed on the stem; "Apollo Phantom" is on the rear left grip tape and on the bottom with the model year.
