The World’s Fastest Two-Wheeled Scooter Reaches a Terrifying 100 Miles Per Hour

Why would anybody need such a thing? In short, they don't. But that didn't stop the team from building it.

The world’s fastest two-wheeled electric scooter, capable of reaching 100 miles per hour — a machine built not because anyone needed a scooter this fast, but because the engineering challenge of building one apparently justified itself entirely

If you’ve ever ridden an electric scooter, you’ll know the feeling of zipping down a city street at a pretty good pace. The speed you’re normally topping out at? Maybe 15, 20 miles per hour, max.

The insane minds at Bo Scooters have a different idea, with their high performance version called The Turbo. Able to reach over 100 miles per hour, it might be the fastest two-wheeled scooter ever.

Why would anybody need such a thing? In short, they don’t. But that didn’t stop the team from building it.

Designed to break records, and break necks, The Turbo’s claimed top speed exceeds 100 mph.

Built on the same unibody aluminum chassis as the company’s sleek Model‑M, the Turbo packs a jaw-dropping 24 000 W dual-motor drivetrain and a 1 800 Wh battery, potentially delivering 150 miles at cruising speed and even out-accelerating a Tesla Model 3.

A short clip of The Turbo speeding through a tunnel should show you how unnecessarily quick this thing is.

Bo’s engineers, many from Formula One backgrounds, have incorporated performance-driven features like F1-style ram-air cooling and CNC-machined components: pure showmanship aimed at setting a Guinness World Record at Bonneville Speed Week.

All of that speed and engineering doesn’t come cheap. A super limited run of Bo’s speed demon will sell for $29,500 apiece.
