I currently own the Phantom V4, which I absolutely love. I've logged over 2,600 kilometers on the unit without a single issue. Recently, I was seriously considering upgrading to the Phantom 2.0 and visited Pro Mech BC, who kindly let me take it for a test ride. Visually, it'???s a standout '??? easily one of the best-looking scooters on the market.However, during the ride, I encountered a significant drawback. The steering felt disconnected from the road '??? overly light and numb, as if the tires weren'???t fully in touch with the surface. Personally, I prefer a firmer steering feel, one that provides real feedback. I don'???t typically turn the handlebars; instead, I rely on subtle weight shifts to steer, so that sense of connection is important to me.When I raised this with Apollo, they acknowledged the issue and mentioned that a steering dampener has been developed to improve stiffness. While that may help, it doesn'???t fully address the core issue of road feedback. As it stands, I feel the current steering design undermines an otherwise excellent scooter, and I'???ll be holding off on purchasing until this is resolved.
