bo M electric scooter can climb hills and has lights that adjust to temperature changes

Personal vehicle built with aluminum and unibody chassis

 

Bo M, an electric scooter that can climb steep hills, comes with fully automatic lights that adjust their brightness as the temperature changes. Designed for city commuting, the personal vehicle has a custom battery system called BoPower, which holds 672 watt-hours of energy, uses lithium-ion cells, and gives the scooter a range of up to 60 kilometers on a single charge. The rear-wheel hub motor on the Bo M electric scooter delivers 1200 watts of power and produces 38 newton-meters of torque. This means the scooter can climb steep hills without requiring the rider to push, which is considered a strong acceleration for a city-tailored ride. 

 

The top speed of the personal vehicle is 35 kilometers per hour, and there’s a patented steering system called Safesteer. It helps keep the rider in control by making the handling smoother and responding dynamically to the rider’s movements. For the team, the feature aims to increase safety and comfort during cruising. The electric scooter Bo M is built with a full aluminum and unibody chassis, a structure that follows automotive design principles. The team believes it doesn’t corrode, even during repeated and everyday usage. The frame is built to be the strongest and stiffest in its category, as the brand describes it.

Electric scooter Bo m comes with fully automatic lights

 

Bo M electric scooter includes a lighting system with high visibility. The front headlight, placed on the stem of the ride, produces up to 800 lumens, and a wide-angle rear light flashes when the brakes are used. The chassis also features a daytime running light system, which creates a light halo visible from 270 degrees around the personal vehicle. This lighting is fully automatic and adjusts as the temperature changes. The brand also adds what it calls Airdeck. It is based on EVA foam, similar to the one used in running shoes, and is used to absorb up to 70 percent of high-frequency vibrations from the road. 

 

The ride also includes a cargo system called Lock and Load, meaning there are two hidden hooks for carrying bags or other items. These hooks are mounted on the chassis, not on the steering system, and they keep bags from swinging while riding. The system can carry up to 10 kilograms, and the team adds space to store a lock. Bo M has a locking system mounted directly on the electric scooter’s chassis. It includes two heavy-duty locking points made from forged aluminum, and these can rotate and hide magnetically when not in use. They also allow the rider to secure the scooter outside shops or public places. Users can mount their smartphones between Bo M’s handlebars for navigation, and the brand also fits the electric scooter with puncture-resistant tires for uneven roads.
