Infinite Machine P1: the “Tesla Cybertruck” scooter that is taking off

Commercial phenomenon in the United States since its debut, the Infinite Machine P1 scooter is sold out and the waiting list is growing.

A look. That’s how to sum up this electric scooter, Infinite Machine P1, which appeared out of nowhere and is already a victim of its success, one week after its presentation. Victim because the demand is so high for this two-wheeled Tesla Cybertruck — sold for $10,000, or about 9,350 euros — that the full order book will disappoint many.

With its cubic lines, its aluminum skin, and its square front light protected by a grille, welcome to an 1980s science fiction movie. Regarding weather protection, let’s say it’s not the primary concern, and maybe that’s not such a bad thing after all.

Inherently, there isn’t much to call a revolution… except stylistically. With its 6 kW electric motor (peak at 12 kW), it will fit into the 125 cc equivalent category with a certainly appreciable dynamism. Still in development, the top speed is listed at 55 miles per hour (88 km/h), and the “estimated” range is 60 miles (96 km).

Where the Infinite Machine P1 begins to pique interest is in its ability to turn problems into advantages. For example, it knows its limited autonomy but doesn’t hesitate to offer optional external racks mounted on the bodywork to extend its range. Same for luggage, with side cases similar to BMW’s, or even a trailer to carry larger objects.

An unprecedented practicality among competitors. The fun even extends to adding speakers on the sides of the Infinite Machine P1 for listening to music… at the expense of nearby residents? A scooter stereo, no one had thought of that before.

The interface with the rider is via a touchscreen and Bluetooth connection with your smartphone. The Infinite Machine P1 can be managed from a dedicated app (locking, geolocation, charging, etc.) and includes Apple CarPlay to use GPS.

Updates will be delivered “Over-the-Air” without owner intervention, similar to a modern electric car.

Export to Europe is planned… but at an unknown date, the priority is first to improve solvency in the United States by increasing scale and satisfying local demand. We simply hope it won’t be two years late, like a certain Tesla Cybertruck…
