The Apollo Ghost has been discontinued. We've kept performance data for historical reference.
The Apollo Ghost was a dual-motor electric scooter that offered exceptional value in the sub-$2000 category before its discontinuation. Essentially a rebranded Unicool VDM-10 from Titan Group, it proved to be a reliable and price-efficient option with very few cases of structural failure over its lifecycle.
Note: Performance data based on testing by 165 lb rider. Individual results may vary.
In our extensive testing over 130+ miles, the Ghost exceeded expectations:
The acceleration outperformed both the Zero 10X and Kaabo Mantis 8 Pro, making it one of the fastest scooters we tested under $2000.
The Ghost maintained strong performance until about 20% battery, thanks to quality Dynavolt cells - a significant advantage over cheaper alternatives that deteriorate at 40%.
| Run | Avg Speed | Range |
|---|---|---|
| #1 (Speed Priority) | 27.6 MPH 44.4 KMH | 20.3 miles 32.7 km |
| #2 (Regular Speed) | 21.1 MPH 34 KMH | 27.3 miles 43.9 km |
| #3 (Range Priority) | 14.6 MPH 23.5 KMH | 32.2 miles 51.8 km |
Pros:
Cons:
While the Apollo Ghost delivered exceptional value during its production run, it's now discontinued. The underlying Unicool VDM-10 platform remains available through suppliers like Alibaba, but parts availability and support will only decrease over time.
For similar performance today: Consider Kukirin's dual-motor lineup, which offers comparable speed and range at competitive prices with better parts availability.
The Apollo Ghost earned its reputation as one of the best value dual-motor scooters of its era. With strong acceleration, solid range, and reliable build quality, it successfully competed with scooters costing $500+ more. While it's no longer in production, its track record demonstrates what good value engineering can achieve in the e-scooter market.
Should you buy a used one? Only if you're comfortable with limited parts availability and can handle basic maintenance yourself. Otherwise, look to current models from brands like Kukirin for similar performance with ongoing support.
