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.

    I’m gonna need more angular momentum at 100 mph than what tiny little scooter wheels are providing. Absolutely terrifying device.

      I am fairly sure this outrageous novelty product is meant for people who already have a new car and a good used car in their garage. They’re not gonna consider an old Miata as an alternative to it.

    Man, the scooter formfactor scares me past 20-25. I’d want much bigger wheels for something that can do north of 30. Imagine getting speed wobbles or hitting a fist-sized rock doing 50.

    Thankfully it seems like this is exclusively for track use, but even then, good God that is really pushing the envelope of that formfactor…
