Apollo Phantom V2 shuts down and you have to walk home pushing your scooter.
"The Walk of Shame!
There is two ways I know of that prevents this problem from happening.
#1-method
I noticed the Apollo Phantom scooter will not shutdown if you are riding in gear "1" or in gear "2"
and not in "sport mode".
This cuts the current in half and doubles distance and your overall ride time.
I am hitting about 55-60 KM in setting #2 (non Sport Mode) Fully charged battery!
It will simply continue to slow down as the voltage drops. Speed slowly diminishes from approx. 55 kph to
10 kph at which point your battery is depleted (over a period of half hour from 45 to 39 volts) and you have to shutdown or risk ruining your battery.
The reason it shuts down, the overall voltage drop caused by the two motors running in rapid acceleration or maintaining high speed
causes the voltage to drop below the cut-off voltage.
Watch your voltage meter to confirm and prove this!
The problem with the Apollo Phantom V2 is there is no reset button to get you going again.
There is plenty of watts available for another half hour to get you home.
The voltage drop is only temporary but the "Shutdown" is permanent!
You walk home in the "Walk of Shame"
So... use "gear 2 and single motor for the last half of your ride and the Phantom v2 will not shut down!
#2 method
I noticed when I did the "Walk of Shame" - arriving at home I plugged in my charger and my Apollo Phantom V2 reset itself and I immediately had enough volts and amps left for another half hour of ride time in gear two - one motor ( non-sport mode). Plenty to get home on.
So... I made a simple "Voltage booster" and brought a 4 cell LIPO battery 16.8 volts to 58.6 volts at 1.5 amps.
If I accidentally get "Shutdown" from the Cut-off voltage, I simply plug in my little battery booster for only 2 seconds,
The Apollo Phantom V2 resets itself
Remove the booster and proceed home in Gear 2 (Non-Sport Mode).
