Insane 100-mph e-Turbo scooter accelerates as fast as a Tesla

UK-based mobility company Bo has racing in its blood, and its latest creation is designed to bring that heritage to the forefront in the form of a high-performance electric scooter subtly named the Turbo.

It might look a lot like the consumer-grade M model that Bo revealed in 2023, but after 18 months in the garage, it’s mutated into an absolute fire-breather that’s built to exceed 100 mph (160 km/h) and – according to Bo’s initial testing – accelerate quicker than a Tesla Model 3.

How do you push a 15 mph (25 km/h) scooter all the way up past the 100-mph mark? The same powertrain simply wouldn’t cut it, so the Turbo got twin electric motors, each rated for over 300A peak current, along with a new 88-V 1,800-Wh battery to deliver plenty more power on demand.
