UK Micro-Mobility Startup Bo Enters Production With its Launch Vehicle

Bo, a UK developer of urban micro-mobility vehicles, has announced the move to production and full specifications of its launch vehicle, the Bo M. It is the first product in a range of Bo lightweight electric vehicles.

Following 24 months of development and engineering refinement, the Bo M enters production with a raft of technological features and advancements.

These improvements include a 100% increase in the chassis strength, and an increase in peak power output from 1000W to a category-leading 1200W.

The Bo powertrain features a high torque motor, providing a peak power output of 1200W and a top speed of up to 35 km/h (21 mph), with a battery capacity of 655Wh delivering a range of 50km.

It also includes SafesteerTM technology, a dynamic steering stabilisation system developed by Bo to set the benchmark for control and inspire rider confidence.

This patent-pending technology, fully integrated within the Bo chassis, assists and stabilises the steering through bumps, dips and potholes to keep the rider in perfect comfort and control.

Bo was founded by two engineers, formerly of Williams F1 Advanced Engineering, and a Jaguar Land Rover designer, giving the company a fundamental understanding of vehicle dynamics and manufacturing, which has been uniquely applied to

Bo co-founder and CEO, Oscar Morgan, says: “Moving to production is a momentous moment for our company. The entire Bo team has worked tirelessly with a common aim; to create a product that will consistently delight our riders. The team has been focused on developing game-changing features, like our Monocurve chassis with integrated Lock and Load hooks, and safety enhancements such as Safesteer™, whilst using our experience in automotive design to build visually exciting vehicles people feel proud to own and ride. We are excited to see the culmination of these efforts within the Bo M and I cannot wait for our first riders to take delivery of their M later this year.”

Bo co-founder and CCO, Luke Robus, adds; “We believe in the pursuit of simplicity. From the early sketches to prototypes and through to these pre-production models, the M’s lines come together without complication. This is testament to the rigorousness of our first class engineering team integrating all the technology we've packed into the M. Never cluttering, or getting in the way of the product's purpose, instead celebrating this new found simplicity with a design language you'll see in evidence across the range of lightweight EVs we have planned for the future.”

Bo is dedicated to developing the best light electric vehicles on earth,
