- The Infinite Machine P1 scooter has a 6 kW rear hub engine
- Software package unlocks 65 MPH rush speeds
- The side panels can house loading boxes or a solid speaker
Infinite Machine is not afraid to do things a little differently and its original angular olto quickly became the cybertruck of cycle paths – a class 2 bike which can reach a top speed of 33 MPH and transport two passengers, while resembling something of a science fiction film.
Earlier this year, the company based in New York has strengthened its range when it announced the P1, one in the same way Dredd judge Daily Navetter who wants to replace the internal combustion engine scooters tired by a smarter anodized steel solution. Does that seem familiar?
“Our mission is to inspire a post-displacement future by building the best alternatives to cars.” said Joseph Cohen, CEO and co-founder of Infinite Machine.
Under the angular steel body there is a 6 kW hub engine that resides in the rear wheel. The power service is done via a standard torsion accelerator, which is delivered with a reverse function and a boost mode for fast overtaking maneuvers.
The removable battery of 72 volts 3.2 kWh offers approximately 60 miles of range on a single load and can be connected and loaded from any domestic socket. Customers can also buy several packs and attach them to the body for extended trips.

There is room at the rear for a passenger – and enough growing the engine to ensure that progress remains rapid when driving two – as well as a modular lateral panel configuration which can house hardened cargo boxes.
Alternatively, these panels can be exchanged for a strong speaker to advance these New York style block festivals. Infinite Machine also offers its own matching detachable trailer to tow larger loads, such as transporting fresh boxes to the beach.
Most driving licenses will cover the driving of the P1, or the equivalent of compulsory basic training in the United Kingdom, but those with a full motorcycle license can pay to unlock full power and 65 MPH.
The price of cool air
Despite plastic, small budget scooters, co-founders and brothers Joe and Eddie Cohen wanted to introduce something more technologically into the scooter market, and P1 contains the first infotainment table improved by Apple Carplayboard and Apple Carplay.
The custom -made Android and Apple application of the P1 can be used as a digital key to unlock the bike, to check where the vehicle is located when parked and take a live flow from the front and rear cameras to record the journeys for the peace of mind of the dashboard.
Currently, the P1 is on sale in the United States, where it costs $ 10,000 (about £ 7,500 / $ 15,000 in) and deliveries should start this fall. But prices have not yet been announced for Europe and further.
However, Infinite Machine should attend the EICMA Motorcycle Show this year in Italy, where it will reveal more about its market expansion strategy and its prices.
Although electric scooters are often more expensive than their petrol counterparts, the latest Honda tank model, which offers a vaguely similar range and top speed for P1, costs around £ 3,800 (about $ 5,100 / 780 $ per).
With style and technology on board, it would just be assuming that the infinite machine model will command a bonus to look cool.
