Infinite Machine's Cybertruck-like P1 e-scooter is launching soon

[midian182]

In brief: The idea of a Cybertruck in scooter form might sound like an abomination, the engineering equivalent of breeding a duck with a hippo, but Infinite Machine's upcoming P1 looks as if it will prove doubters wrong. The EV will soon have its global launch, so expect to see them whizzing around the roads in the next few weeks.

Infinite Machine's P1 looks like something you'd see in a movie from the 1980s set in the future. Announced earlier this year, the vehicle is made from brushed aluminum and steel monocoque. It features a 7-inch touchscreen, a speaker, and comes with an app for unlocking and starting the P1. The app gives access to other functions such as viewing the front and rear cameras, tracking the scooter, and OTA updates.

Powering the P1 is a 6kW hub motor in the rear wheel that can push the scooter up to 65mph. Connected to the motor is a removable, fire-resistant 72-volt 3.2kWh battery that offers around 60 miles of range from a single charge. Owners can also buy multiple battery packs and attach them to the bike to increase the range. The packs can be charged using regular outlets, too.

The massive seat means drivers can carry a passenger. There's also underseat storage, a glovebox, and a bag hook in the center console. The P1 even has a built-in helmet lock.

Infinite Machine notes that no motorcycle license is required to drive the P1 up to speeds of 30mph. For those with a license, a software unlock will allow it to hit its full speed.

With other features such as an alarm system, a Turbo Boost button, CarPlay and Android Auto support, wheel and motor locks, and ABS braking, it's easy to understand how the first 1,000 units that went on sale were sold out almost instantly, with buyers handing over a $1,000 deposit.

The P1 starts at a fairly hefty $10,000. Infinite Machine's website lists the estimated shipping date as September 27. The company also sells the smaller Olto e-scooter. It starts at $3,495, has a top speed of 33mph, a 40-mile range, and is "built for the bike lane."

In related news, BMW unveiled the Vision CE earlier this month. The concept is essentially an electric self-balancing scooter with an enclosure.

iRetards gonna be iRetards forever. Be it apple, nvidia, amd or tesla

The removable battery is an interesting feature. Far too many of these machines are rolling e-waste with proprietary batteries that are very hard to find parts for or service unless you are a dedicated enthusiast.

Eh, it doesn't look that bad (the darker one). Makes more sense here.

Forgot to finish what?

I like hard lines more than something too curvy (especially when exaggerated and bubbly).

Though, it is a bit more blocky than I would like. Still, not bad for a scooter I'll never buy lol

I'm talking about the body of the scooter. they just glued some unprocessed pieces of metal or plastic they had on hand and said "I'm done, I'm going to bed now".

it's not about missing curves. it's the general low poly, low effort aspect.

$10K. Is this a joke?

And a 6kW motor with a 3.2 kWh battery? So, this, if you run the accelerator wide-open will run for slightly less than 1/2 hour?

I wish them well.

Uh-huh.

What on earth is going on with all this damn ugly minecraft designs?

 

[m3diapers]

Nothing cooler than riding this beast as a delivery mule. Truly legendary.

 

[toooooot]

Do I need a concrete house to match its looks? Because I do not have one. And neither do I want to spend 10k on this joke with only 60 mile range.

I assume crash-test results will be drawn from in-situ usage.

I mean....the battery has gotta go somewhere.

Most E bikes or E scooters have large rectangular bodies because that's the shape of the cells.

Why are comment sections always primarily negative? Only time I see semi positive comments is in celebration of bad things happening to political and ideological enemies. The human race absolutely deserves to be erased and damned.

E-bikes are the future, however this model needs serious help. I'll help first off 90% of the game is in the look of the E-bike, this looks like a mo-ped. Fancy mo-ped is still a mo-ped. After you fix the look to be a functional ultra silent large wheel, mid center storage, elongated tale for 2nd passenger ultra light; then you lower the speed to 45 mph, and conserve battery by adding no bells and whistles just some type of manual locking mechanism no key passcode to use type feature. Weather resistant exterior of course. Then we have a 10k product this is maybe 2.5k as is. Wheels look dangerously sensitive over 30mph.

most e-bikes don't like you glued several random boxes together

 

[ScottSoapbox]

$10,000!!! ROFL!

You can buy two motorcycles for that!!

And neither motorcycle will be this ugly.

 

[Underdog]

It looks like something a child knocked up out of some cardboard boxes and a couple of wheelbarrow wheels.

Seriously ugly and ridiculously expensive. And there's no cup holder.
Should appeal to those who love the cybertruck.
