Apollo Scooters is the companion app for your Apollo electric scooter. Connect over Bluetooth and your phone becomes the scooter's dashboard, its settings panel, its ride recorder and its maintenance log. RIDE WITH EVERYTHING IN VIEW Live speed, power and regen, battery and range, motor and controller temperature, straight off the scooter. Turn-by-turn navigation runs inside the app, so you never switch apps mid-ride. EVERY SETTING, ONE TAP AWAY Ride modes, speed limits, acceleration and braking, lights, cruise control, kickstart and turn signals. Save the combinations you like as profiles and switch between them in a second. The advanced controller settings sit right underneath for riders who want to go deeper. AI THAT FINDS YOU MORE RANGE The AI Range Optimizer sweeps your settings and shows exactly what each one costs you in range, then applies the best result in one tap. A personal range estimate learns from your own rides, so the number on your dashboard is yours, not a brochure figure.

Look back at any ride, your lifetime distance, your longest ride and your top speed. TURN A RIDE INTO A VIDEO Create a cinematic replay of any ride with your speed, power and battery on screen, rendered on your phone and ready to share. ASK ARTEMIS ANYTHING Artemis is the AI assistant built into the app. Ask it to switch ride modes, check your battery, lock the scooter or summarize your week, and it answers with your own ride data. YOUR SCOOTER, FULLY YOURS Serial number, warranty, ownership, firmware updates and a maintenance log that tracks when each part needs service. Flag the scooter as stolen if you ever need to.
