The world of personal electric vehicles is constantly evolving, but few innovations are as audacious as the Bo Turbo Scooter. This isn’t just another e-scooter; it’s a high-performance machine built with a singular, ambitious goal: to be the fastest electric scooter in the world by breaking the 100mph barrier.


Bo has engineered a vehicle that redefines the limits of what a scooter can be. By combining a race-specification powertrain, advanced engineering, and an unwavering commitment to performance, the Bo Turbo Scooter represents a new frontier in electric mobility. This post will explore the technology, design, and vision that make this scooter a true marvel of modern engineering.


Power and Performance Unleashed

At the heart of the Bo Turbo Scooter is a powertrain designed for blistering acceleration and raw power. The scooter features a dual-motor, race-spec setup that delivers over 24,000W of output. To put that into perspective, Bo claims the Turbo has a higher power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron. This immense power translates into staggering acceleration, pushing the boundaries of what riders can expect from an electric scooter.

To manage this incredible force, the scooter is equipped with advanced traction control. This system intelligently adjusts the power balance between the two wheels, directing thrust to the wheel with the most grip. The result is maximum acceleration and stability, ensuring the scooter remains controlled even under intense power delivery.


Precision-Engineered Technical Specifications

Achieving record-breaking speeds requires more than just raw power; it demands precision engineering and cutting-edge components. Bo partnered with elite motor developer Rage Mechanics to create a high-power dual motor controller setup capable of handling the extreme demands of the Turbo.

Key Technical Highlights:

  • Dual Motor Power: A combined output of over 24,000W for unparalleled acceleration.


  • Advanced Traction Control: Optimizes power delivery for maximum thrust and stability.


  • High-Performance Motor Controllers: Developed with Rage Mechanics to ensure reliable and efficient power management.


These components work in harmony to create a powertrain that is both incredibly powerful and remarkably sophisticated, setting a new benchmark for the fastest electric scooter technology.

A Braking System Built for Speed

When you’re aiming for an electric scooter with a 100mph top speed, stopping power is just as critical as motor power. The Bo Turbo Scooter is equipped with a braking system that can handle repeated high-energy stops with confidence.


It features front and rear quad-piston Hope V4 disc brakes, a component often found on high-performance downhill mountain bikes. These powerful brakes provide the ultimate stopping performance needed to manage the scooter’s speed safely. To further enhance braking efficiency, floating rotors are used to aid cooling, preventing brake fade during intense use and ensuring consistent performance.


An Evolution Built on a Proven Chassis

The Bo Turbo Scooter isn’t an entirely new creation from the ground up. It’s a speed-optimized evolution built upon the proven foundations of the road-focused Bo Model-M. The core chassis components are shared between the two models, demonstrating the incredible strength and engineering quality of the original design. The Model-M’s chassis was designed to yield a strength of 650kg, providing more than enough durability to serve as the backbone for this high-performance machine.


This shared DNA proves the quality of Bo’s road-going scooters and showcases how a robust, well-designed platform can be adapted for extreme performance. The stability principles patented in the Bo Safesteer system are also applied to the Turbo, providing it with arrow-like stability at high speeds.


Incorporating Formula One Expertise

To reach its 100mph goal, Bo plans to leverage expertise from the world of Formula One. This collaboration will bring cutting-edge aerodynamic and performance-tuning knowledge to the project, helping the team refine the scooter’s design and further enhance its capabilities. This infusion of motorsport DNA is a testament to Bo’s commitment to breaking records and pioneering new technology in the electric scooter space.

A Truly Exclusive Machine

It is essential to note that the Bo Turbo Scooter is not a mass-market product. Currently, there is only one in existence. This unique vehicle serves as a testbed for innovation and a symbol of Bo’s engineering prowess. While a limited number of commissions are being considered for enthusiasts with proven riding experience, the Turbo remains an exclusive and aspirational machine, a true one-of-a-kind in the world of electric vehicles.


The Mission for the Future

The mission is clear: to build the world’s fastest scooter and officially break the 100mph barrier. While the Bo Turbo already boasts more power than many race-series scooters, the team continues to push the limits of what is possible. This relentless drive for innovation is what sets Bo apart, as they aim to create a vehicle that shatters every previous notion of what an electric scooter can be.
