FAQs

The Bo M comes with a fast charger, taking 3hrs to charge to 80% capacity and 4hrs to fully charge. This equates to about 12km of range per hour.

The Bo M range is up to 60kms in Comfort mode, and 40kms in Performance mode

Before riding, please check local regulations for the maximum legal riding speed. In Comfort mode Bo M is limited to 25kph, which is in line with a majority of speed restrictions. 

In Power mode the top speed is 35kph. It is important to note that where you live this may only be legal to use off-highway. In Comfort mode the top speed is 25kph. Acceleration is also reduced in Comfort mode.

We designed Bo to be a strong hillclimber. The peak motor power is 1,200W with over 30Nm of torque. What makes the Bo motor special is how that torque is delivered: many scooter motors only have peak power at their maximum speed. The Bo motor is engineered to provide maximum torque throughout the rev-range, where you need it most. at hill climbing speeds and acceleration off the line.

Double press the on/off button to change modes. Comfort mode has a 25kph top speed and calm acceleration, best for relaxed riding and getting maximum range of up to 60km.

Power mode has a 35kph top speed and punchy acceleration, deploying maximum torque. Range is reduced - we have never achieved more than 40km real-world riding in Power mode - however riding smiles are increased. 

Bo headquarters are based in Brisol, where it often rains several times per day. The Bo M has fully IP66 waterproof electrical components, from the cables to the battery, so you can ride all season. You can rely on Bo to keep going in the wet.

Suspension lifts the rider up very high, which makes you unstable when riding on an urban road and wobbly when braking. Bo M keeps the rider as low as possible for maximum stability, and by using the best tyres on the market and Airdeck technology, the Bo M is the most comfortable and stable urban e-scooter out there.

The right lever controls the front mechanical brake. The left lever controls regenerative braking through the rear wheel motor. For most riding, the regenerative braking provides smooth braking that recuperates energy back into the battery, and the front mechanical brake is there when you need it.

Bo M is equipped with three high performance lights: a 500lumen headlight to fully illuminate the road ahead, a 200lumen rear tail light, and a 270degree, 500lumen ‘DRL’ running light that creates a disc of light around the rider, to be seen by all other road users

We tried and tested every single tyre on the market to find the best tyre for riding comfort, puncture protection and grip.

The result is that Bo M is equipped with the tubeless CST CM531 tyre, with excellent puncture resistance, comfort, and grip.

Tubeless is important, because it mounts the tyre on the Bo wheels in the same way as a car tyre (without an inner tube). When you hit a kerb, inner tubes are often punctured by the rim crushing it, which is what causes many flat tyres. By removing this, we improve the puncture resistance.

While we do not recommend it, during testing we repeatedly rode with the tyre completely empty of air (0 PSI), and found with the strength of the Bo motor and the robustness of these tyres you can still get home and re-inflate them.

Bo is designed to be a vehicle you can rely on. That is why we developed the only unibody Monocurve chassis of any e-scooter, to give maximum strength and stiffness. That is also why the battery is encased in a metallic housing, with voltage and temperature monitoring for safety. Building a reliable vehicle also means the Bo M is designed to be easy to service and repair, with accessible parts and common, easily purchasable fasteners. Our aim is for Bo to give you a lifetime of good service.
