Bo Turbo electric scooter: a 100 mph marvel

Bo introduces the Turbo, an electric scooter more than twice as fast as typical models.

High-speed electric scooters typically max out around 50 mph. The Bo Turbo more than doubles that.

With a top speed exceeding 100 mph and acceleration reportedly faster than a Tesla, the Bo Turbo's design seems inspired by Formula 1 racing. The Turbo's development team includes engineers from the Williams F1 team and the Bloodhound Land Speed Record project.

Built on the same platform as the sleek Bo Model-M, the Turbo takes things to another level. It boasts a 24,000 W dual-motor drivetrain, a 1,800 Wh battery, advanced traction control, and a power-to-weight ratio said to surpass even the Bugatti Veyron.

This system can propel a rider to triple-digit speeds while standing. According to Electrek, it's a dream—or perhaps a nightmare.

Bo reports the scooter reached over 85 mph in initial tests at the Goodwood race track and is being developed to exceed 100 mph, a world record.

The British company plans a limited production run of the Turbo, with a starting price of 29,500 USD. The first one is slated for delivery to a collector in Madrid, Spain, around Q1/2026.

Beyond the attention-grabbing speed, the scooter features impressive engineering. The Turbo uses a forced-air intake system based on F1 brake cooling designs to prevent the motor and controller from overheating. The frame—made from aerospace-grade aluminum and CNC-machined parts—is based on Bo's proven Monocurve platform, the same structure used in the Bo Model-M.

Bo's team insists that despite its extreme specifications, the Turbo remains "controllable." Professional BMX rider Tre Whyte has tested it at high speeds over 20 times.
