The Apollo Phantom V2 launched in 2022 as an upgraded version of the original Phantom. Key improvements in the Phantom V2 include: Larger 61V 21Ah battery for longer range Single 1200W motor with 2400W peak power Improved front and rear suspension Upgraded mechanical disc brakes Brighter LED headlight and taillights For just $200 more than the original Phantom, the V2 version provides noticeably increased performance and range. If purchasing a Phantom now, the V2 model is likely worth the extra cost for future-proofing. But the original Phantom is still a powerful and reliable electric scooter.
