Fighter Supreme Plus vs. Apollo Phantom 2.0: Who’s the Luxury Hyperscooter King?

If you were to segment the electric scooter market in 2024, you’d likely group all the available models according to their price, power, features, intended use, and other criteria. Common classes of electric scooters we see include entry-level, ultra-portable, commuters, cruisers, high-performance, ultra-luxury and what we jokingly refer to as the “beasts” at the top end of power (and cost). Within each class it’s also not uncommon to further subdivide each into whether the product is from a North-American-supported major brand or a knock-off Chinese brand.

For the most part, Teverun electric scooters dominate the “high-performance” category. The brand, which is one of the oldest brands of electric scooters and supported across North America is quite definitely a major name brand.

Apollo is also a major North-American brand, and while they’ve dabbled in the high-performance class of electric scooters in the past, they appear to be trying to firmly claim their place in the category with the upcoming Phantom 2.0.

So ahead of it’s launch in mid-2025, we thought it would be interesting to compare the top-end model of Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar with the closest competitor in Teverun’s current lineup, the Fighter Supreme Plus (which is actually at the bottom end of the three Fighter Supreme models). So let’s put them objectively head-to-head and examine the chances of Apollo’s new model challenging Teverun’s claim of king of the luxury high-performance electric scooters.

How We Compared

Both of these models of electric scooters feature a robust array of high-end and performance-oriented features. As such, we feel they both can be considered “luxury” high-performance scooters (which is echoed by the approx. CA$4,000 price tag).

First, we examine all the features offered by both models, including intangibles such as look and feel.

Next we look at specs, specifically the ones which affect the adrenaline-pumping performance.

Finally we compare the prices and other aspects affecting overall cost-of-ownership, such as warranty, parts and support.

Will this cross-examination yield any conclusion about which is most deserving of your hard-earned money? Read on to find out!

A Note About Model Availability

The first thing to note is that the Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar is available for pre-order but is not expected to ship to customers until “mid-2025” (although delays are not uncommon for new electric-scooter models and Apollo has a reputation of rarely hitting their delivery targets, so fall 2025 is most likely). This means that all information we used in this comparison is from Apollo directly and is subject to change when these actually start getting manufactured.

By contrast, the Teverun Fighter Supreme Plus is currently available for sale from Super Scoots, with next-day shipping.

Features

Appearance

Which of these two scooters you think looks “cooler” is very subjective, and depends of how you think a high-performance scooter should look. There’s no question the Phantom is sleeker and perhaps more “futuristic”. It does closely resemble the ultra-luxury Apollo Pro and to some degree the Apollo Go commuter scooter, which perhaps makes it look less like a high-performance scooter.

Both models are painted matte black and include stem and deck lighting. The Fighter Supreme places the Teverun logo, “Teverun Fighter” and even the Teverun website URL several places all over the scooter, whereas the Phantom takes a minimalist approach and doesn’t put the model or company name anywhere on the scooter except for a small single “Apollo” logo on the side of the deck.

Winner: objectively a draw, with perhaps the Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar having an edge for its sleek minimalist design.

Ergonomics

Both scooters are fairly equally matched with regard to the throttle (both use a paddle-type thumb throttle), a solid kick plate at a comfortable angle and a wide handlebar for good control at higher speeds. The Fighter Supreme Plus has a much larger deck which makes it more comfortable for longer rides or larger riders, but the Phantom 2.0 offers what is likely the best regen brake in the market as a secondary throttle-type paddle, which is used for 95% of all braking.

The Phantom 2.0 offers a very simplistic dot-matrix style display that shows minimal information (speed, approximate battery level, turn signals), although it does allow you to mount your smartphone and use it as the display for a slightly richer set of information. The display is very readable in direct sunlight (whereas your smartphone isn’t).

On the other hand, the Fighter Supreme offers a full-colour, 4″ TFT display that provides a wealth of information, from exact battery percentage, to power output to each motor. Using your phone is not necessary.

Both models feature a stem height that is adequate for most riders, but a bit short short for taller riders over 6 feet. The Fighter Supreme offers the advantage of making it easy to replace the stock handlebar with a high profile handlebar to gain up to an additional 3 inches of height.

Winner: draw.

Lighting

The Phantom’s deck lighting wraps entirely around the entire deck. It’s an evenly glowing white strip except at the very back where it turns to red when braking, or amber (with animated pattern) when using the turn signals. It’s elegant and streamlined and adds to the sleek, futuristic appearance.

The Fighter Supreme Plus has two strips along the sides of the deck, behind plastic strips which cover the lights except for the words “Teverun Fighter”. Not as slick, but the lighting is RGB—allowing you to choose any colour or one of many multi-colour patterns.

Turn signals are mounted on the deck as flashing bulbous amber LEDs. A clever innovation is how the deck- and stem-mounted RGB strips glow red when the brake is applied and flash amber when turn signals are used (on the left or right side), which increases the safety and coolness factor considerably. The Phantom, it should be noted, includes extra turn signals mounted at the ends of the handlebars for additional visibility.

Both scooters provide a front headlight mounted high on the stem, and while no specs are provided about the Phantom headlight’s brightness, it also provides a bright, vertical white LED strip on the stem facing forward that helps brighten the path ahead and ensure you are seen. The Fighter Supreme’s headlight is extremely bright, but the side-mounted RGB LED strips on the side are mainly for aesthetics.

Winner: draw.

App

Both models are app-enabled. Apollo’s app offers turn-by-turn directions, and a much simpler UI, whereas the Teverun app offers some good diagnosis tools such as inspecting the quality of individual battery cells. Both apps provide the ability to customize riding factors such as acceleration.

Winner: Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar.

Security

Both models feature wireless NFC key locking which allows you to prevent turning on the scooter until unlocked by tapping with an NFC key (or unlocking with the app). The Phantom 2.0 goes a bit further by allowing you to place the scooter in “alarm” mode, which not only locks the wheels from turning, but will flash the LED lights and sound a loud alarm if the scooter is moved while armed.

In addition, the Phantom 2.0 integrates Apple’s “Find My” technology, that provides precise tracking of the location of the scooter through the Find My app (only if you have an iPhone of course). This is better than placing an AirTag inside the scooter (which can be done to the Fighter Supreme Plus of course) because it won’t produce an audible alert notifying thieves that they are being tracked, and doesn’t require you to replace the AirTag battery periodically.

Winner: Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar.

Specs

Motors, Controllers, Speed and Acceleration

Both models are dual-motor electric scooters. The Fighter Supreme Plus is a 72V system with two 1,500W (nominal) motors that peak at 2,500W each (total peak power output of 5,000W). The maximum speed that can be achieved is 90 km/h (56 mph).

The Phantom 2.0 Stellar is a 60V system with two 3,000W motors, each peaking at 3,350 W (total peak power output of 6,700W). Its maximum speed is 85 km/h (53 mph).

The Fighter Supreme regulates power to the motors through two 37A sine wave controllers (one for each motor). The Phantom 2.0 uses a single “Mach 3” controller, the specs for which are not provided.

Despite the Phantom 2.0 having two motors that are capable of twice the power of the Fighter Supreme Plus, it offers similar performance, likely due to the lower voltage power system and single controller. The acceleration of both models from a full stop is roughly the same, with both quoting the stat of 0 to 48 km/h in about 4 seconds.

Motor size is far from the whole story when it comes to performance.

Winner: draw.

Battery and Range

Both scooters offer some of the best lithium-ion battery technology available today. The Phantom 2.0 Stellar provides a 60V 30Ah lithium battery for a total of 1,800Wh (Watt-hours) of range—fairly standard for a mid-priced electric scooter in 2024. The battery cells are Samsung 21700 cells.

The Phantom’s battery is absolutely dwarfed by the battery in the Fighter Supreme Plus, which offers a truly massive 72V 60Ah battery for a total of 4,320Wh. Expect more than double the range of the Phantom (up to 200km).

Rather than typical 21700 lithium-ion cells, this battery uses a more advanced technology called “Blade” LiFePO4 cells, which are also used in many newer EVs with long ranges including Teslas. Although developed by Chinese electric car company BYD, like LG and Samsung cells the high-quality Blade cells are South Korean, manufactured by SK Innovation. Compared with typical lithium-ion batteries, Blade batteries provide more durable battery life and energy output. They handle thousands of charge/discharge cycles, greatly extending the life of the battery. In addition, the structure of the Blade battery makes it safer than other lithium-ion batteries, avoiding short circuits and overcharging (and greatly minimizing fires!). They also offer significantly stronger high and low temperature resistance (the batteries are safe to operate down to -30°C or -22°F  and up to 60°C  or 140°F).

In short, the Blade battery in the Fighter Supreme Plus is safest and longest-lasting battery available on any electric scooter.

Winner: Fighter Supreme Plus (by a long shot).

Suspension

Both models offer front and rear spring suspension with hydraulic damping. The DNM shocks on the Phantom 2.0 are 125mm and offer adjustable preload. The Fighter Supreme Plus KKE shocks are larger (165mm) and more robust, and offer both adjustable preload and adjustable hydraulic damping.

Winner: Fighter Supreme Plus.

Tires

Both models use virtually identical 11″ x 4″ tubeless, self-healing tires.

Winner: draw.

Brakes

The Fighter Supreme Plus provides dual Zoom hydraulic brakes and 160mm rotors. The Phantom 2.0 Stellar provides 4-piston brakes along with 160mm rotors. The stopping power from these 4-piston brakes coupled with the regen braking which can also be triggered without using the hydraulic brakes, via a dedicated brake “throttle” gives the Phantom 2.0 the edge in this category.

Winner: Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar.

Safety and Certifications

Both models offer an impressive set of safety features. Starting with the Phantom 2.0 Stellar, bright, 360-degree lighting wrapping around the deck and on the front of the stem (though white only) keeps you visible to cars day and night. Visible deck-mounted animated turn signals and secondary turn signals mounted on the ends of handlebars make your intentions known and extremely visible. It also offers an adjustable steering damper to reduce stem wobble and increase control at higher speeds.

The Fighter Supreme Plus also offers 360 degrees of LED lighting to keep you seen, and although not as bright, can be set to any colour or in a noticeable animated pattern. Turn signals are only deck-mounted, but the LED strips on the stem and side of the deck double as turn signals (and brake lights too), which make up for it. An adjustable steering damper is also standard.

The Phantom 2.0 is the only model to offer UL certification (UL2271 +2272) covering the lithium battery, but the Fighter Supreme offers a Blade LiFePO4 battery, which is less prone to fires and safer overall.

Winner: draw.

Environmental Rating

The Fighter Supreme Plus is rated IP65 (the “5” covers water intrusion), so offers a decent level of water resistance over the typical IP54 rating found on most scooters. The Phantom 2.0 is rated at IP66 however, which is even better. Neither company provides any testing certification or documentation however.

Winner: Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar.

Purchase Considerations

Price

Both models are approximately the same price, though that depends where you’re located, with US customers paying quite a bit more for the Phantom 2.0 Stellar. Its price in Canadian dollars is CA$4,000 (technically a sale price, but we’re ignoring the “regular” $4,900 listed price because like all Apollo scooters, they are always on sale—this is just a marketing trick they use—as do most scooter retailers). When converted to US dollars at today’s exchange rate, this price should be US$2,872, however the price for US customers is $3,495. I wonder if US customers know about Canada-US exchange rates and that they are getting unfairly taken advantage of.

Note that US customers will also need to pay their local taxes on their purchase of the Phantom 2.0.

The Fighter Supreme Plus is slightly more at $4,100 (although currently there is a special promotion for an additional CA$100 off that price, bringing the price equal to the Phantom 2.0 Stellar). The price for US residents is $3,096, which is just slightly more than the Canadian price when converted at today’s exchange rate.

US customers of the Fighter Supreme Plus are not charged taxes, because the product ships from Canada. This means the delivery may take a few additional days, but can result in savings of hundreds of dollars, depending on where you live.

Both scooter companies provide free shipping, with no extra customs or duties payable. Also, it should be noted that although you can buy the Phantom 2.0 Stellar now, it won’t be received until mid-2025, whereas you can buy the Fighter Supreme Plus now and receive it within 2-8 days depending on where you live.

Winner: Fighter Supreme Plus for price parity, but major benefits for US buyers (and immediate availability).

Warranty

Apollo is unclear about the warranty offered on the Phantom 2.0. The product sales page states both “all major Phantom 2.0 components are covered for two years”, and “12 months of limited warranty”, with the frame being covered for 10,000 km. However, on their warranty page which it links to, it states the warranty on specific major components is for 12 months, and that the 10,000 km frame warranty does not include the Phantom 2.0. The warranty is also stated as only 12 months during checkout. Overall, the warranty appears as “12 months” more often than it appears as “2 years”.

Super Scoots provides a 2-year warranty, with a full 12 months of warranty on the entire scooter (not just “major components”), and a second 12 months covering the controller, throttle, display, frame, stem and electric wiring and components like the controllers.

Both of these warranties are excellent and better than the vast majority of scooter products available in 2024.

Winner: draw (?)

Online Purchasing

Both Apollo and Super Scoots provide modern, mobile-friendly and easy-to-navigate online stores. Both also offer payment financing from Affirm, real-time discounts when purchasing accessories with the scooter and an easy checkout process.

As of the writing of this article, Apollo has an average rating of 4.3 from 876 reviewers on TrustPilot, while Super Scoots has an average rating of 5.0 stars from 83 reviewers on Google.

Winner: draw.

Service and Support

Both Apollo and Super Scoots have a network of authorized repair centres throughout North America, and sell parts online through their website for those that wish to perform repairs themselves. Technical support can be obtained directly from each company via a support ticketing system, or via email, phone or online chat.

Winner: draw.

Conclusion

Both the Teverun Fighter Supreme Plus and the Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar represent the top end of luxury, high-performance electric scooters (or “hyperscooters”) in 2024. It’s difficult to say which is best, as they both take different approaches in what they consider “luxury”.

As far as which represents the best bang-for-the-buck or value-for-money, this is also difficult to say. We can offer suggestions based on what is important to you however. Both are almost equally matched in terms of performance (speed and acceleration), ergonomics, lighting, tires and overall safety.

The Phantom 2.0 Stellar pulls ahead when considering appearance (although that’s somewhat subjective), security features, braking, water resistance and app experience.

The Fighter Supreme Plus beats the Phantom 2.0 in range (easily) and suspension, which governs ride comfort in city and off-road environments.

Both are virtually the same price (unless you’re in the US where, the Fighter Supreme Plus is considerably more expensive).

So if you value long range riding (and seldom needing to charge your scooter) and truly luxurious ride quality, the Fighter Supreme Plus is a better buy for you. If on the other hand you put more weight toward how your scooter looks, app usability and riding in the rain, the Phantom 2.0 is a better bet.

Keep in mind that only the Fighter Supreme Plus is available to actually own at the moment. A lot can change between now and when the Phantom 2.0 Stellar is actually released, including the possibility of new Teverun models, price decreases and entirely different models from other manufacturers that challenge both the Fighter Supreme Plus and the Phantom 2.0. It’s a great time to be alive, you high-performance adrenaline junkies!
