What does this mean for riders?
The Apollo Light has a water resistance of IP54.
The Apollo Light carries an IP54 rating, which means the scooter is protected against limited dust ingress and splashing water from any direction. In practice, you can ride through light rain showers or past small puddles without worrying that dust particles or surface splashes will interfere with the key electrical components. It’s not fully dust-tight nor designed for water jets, but it does offer peace of mind for everyday urban conditions.
With IP54 protection, you can leave the Apollo Light out overnight or roll along damp streets without fearing immediate damage. That said, you’ll want to avoid riding through heavy downpours, standing water deeper than a couple of centimeters, or cleaning the scooter with a high-pressure hose. Extended exposure to intense rain or submersion can exceed its splash-resistance and lead to malfunction.
This level of water resistance matters most to commuters who face occasional drizzle or wet roads and want a reliable ride without constant indoor storage. If your daily route brings unpredictable weather—light rain or street spray from passing cars—the Apollo Light’s IP54 rating ensures you stay rolling. Riders who plan to tackle heavy storms, off-road mud, or frequent deep puddles should look for a higher level of water protection.

Frequently Asked Questions — Apollo Light
An IP54 rating indicates a scooter’s first digit (5) shields against dust ingress to a limited extent, while the second digit (4) blocks water spray at any angle up to 60° from vertical. This means models like Gotrax G7 Pro can handle light rain or road spray but aren’t built for jet cleaning or submersion.
According to ScooterRank’s data, the top five water-resistant scooters all hold an IP54 rating: Gotrax G7 Pro, HALO KNIGHT T102, Gotrax G7, HALO KNIGHT T107Pro and Ausom F1 Max. These models offer balanced protection against dust and moderate rain while maintaining cost and weight efficiency.
After you ride in wet conditions, wipe down your scooter with a dry microfiber cloth to remove moisture and debris, focusing on seals, connectors and hinges. Allow components to air-dry indoors, then inspect for water ingress. Apply silicone spray to rubber gaskets periodically to renew seals and prevent corrosion.
