What are all in common, absolutely all the electric scooters that any Spaniard can buy? That are limited, by law, at 25 km/h. It doesn’t matter if it is worth 200 or 1,500 euros, the scooter cannot pass that speed. That contrasts, of course, with what is capable of getting the fastest electric scooter in the world. Your name? Bo the Turbo. Your maximum speed? More than 160 km/h.
Where does this come from? BO is a British company born in 2019 whose founders have advanced engineering experience in Formula 1. Roughly, BO is a company dedicated to electric scooters and its latest proposal is the Bo the Turbo, a conventional scooter on the outside but that, inside, has a double engine and a motor competition train “with a power-pepper ratio superior to that of the Bugatti Veyron“, according to the company.

Excessive power. The device, because of scooters only has the form factor, has a power of up to 24,000W. For development, BO was associated with Rage Mechanics and applied the Safesteer stabilizer, his own technology, which basically assists the driver when he passes through a pothole or irregular surface. To stop, the scooter incorporates Hope V4 disc brakes With four front and rear pistons, as well as floating rotons so that the system does not warm more than the account in braking at high speed.
And the result? This video surely speak by itself.
Battery. A section that surely arches some eyebrow is that of autonomy. After all, a mamotreto like this moving at a tremendous speed surely endures little. According to the company, it is quite the opposite. It has a 1,800 WH battery, which translates into an autonomy of up to 240 kilometers.
And for what? Needless to say, this scooter is not made for retail sale. It is a proof of concept, a demonstration of how far a single -person electrical mobility can go if technology is released. Putting a scooter 160 kilometers per hour is dangerous, even more on the street, so surely, to see it, we only see it in a circuit (where, everything is said, it has to be hilarious to pilot it).

If someone wanted it, their price is $ 29,500, there are limited editions and is manufactured by order. Curious fact: The first unit will go to the house of a collector in Madrid. It will be there, precisely, the first units will be shown in the prelude to the Madrid Formula 1 Prize.
However, it is not the fastest. Although the Bo The Turbo has brutal figures, the truth is that it is not the fastest electric scooter in the world. That title has, for now, The RM-X of precisely Rage Mechanics. This scooter has a power of 50,000W, reaches 173 km/Hy goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, always according to the brand.
The fight against rapid scooters. These personal mobility devices They live a convulsive timeat least in our country, where they are increasingly limited. Not only can they not exceed 25 km/hbut they cannot go on the sidewalks and are prohibited from circulation in interurban roads, crossings, highways, highways or urban tunnels, the use of helmet, etc. is mandatory.
As far as speed is concerned, it is no secret that there are methods to eliminate the limitations of some models. Without going any further, at the beginning of the year It was detected in Barcelona A trucado device that could move at 113 km/h. This can carry sanctions of up to 500 euros and the withdrawal of the vehicle.
