In the evolving landscape of urban mobility, Brooklyn-based startup Infinite Machine is making waves with its latest electric scooter, the P1: First Edition. Known for its futuristic design inspired by the angular lines of Tesla’s Cybertruck, Infinite Machine is set to redefine city commuting with this new limited production run.
Innovative design and build
The P1: First Edition stands out with its striking, non-traditional aesthetics. Echoing the sharp geometric patterns of Tesla’s Cybertruck, the scooter features a robust powder-coated steel chassis combined with anodized aluminum panels. This design is not just for show; it emphasizes durability and resilience, crucial for daily urban commuting.
The scooter’s rear cargo area is modular, allowing for customizable storage options to suit various needs. Additional practical features include a bag hook and helmet lock mechanism at the step-through console, along with ample storage space under the seat. These thoughtful design elements make the P1: First Edition a versatile choice for urban riders.
Performance and power
At the heart of the P1: First Edition is a powerful 6-kW hub motor that can peak at 12 kilowatts, enabling the scooter to reach top speeds of 55 mph (88.5 km/h). The removable UL-certified battery, now a 72-V 3.2-kWh pack, offers a per-charge range of up to 60 miles (96.5 km). This combination of power and range ensures that the scooter is not just stylish but also highly functional for longer commutes.
The scooter’s performance is complemented by its advanced braking system, featuring ABS for enhanced safety. Riders can also enjoy the flexibility of operating the scooter with a standard driver’s license at speeds up to 30 mph. For those seeking higher speeds, a motorcycle license is required to unlock the software limiter, allowing access to the full 55 mph capability.
Technology integration
Infinite Machine has integrated cutting-edge technology into the P1: First Edition. The scooter’s mid-handlebar “automotive-grade dashboard” operates on a proprietary platform known as InfiniteOS. This system provides touchscreen access to an onboard infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay. Additionally, the scooter is equipped with front and rear cameras, GPS location tracking, and remote unlocking via a paired smartphone app.
These technological features not only enhance the riding experience but also add layers of security and convenience. Riders can monitor their scooter’s location, access infotainment features, and ensure their vehicle is secure, all from their smartphone.
Availability and pricing
The P1: First Edition is a limited run, with only 250 units available. Reservations are currently open, and the starting price is set at $10,000. Prospective buyers can secure their place in the production queue with a $1,000 deposit. Shipping to US customers will begin in 2025, while international customers will be placed on a waitlist.
For those looking for additional flexibility, spare batteries are available, and the scooter can be optioned with a matching trailer, providing extra storage capacity.
