Infinite Machine P1 · the honest report

You are paying for
the software.

An angular, Cybertruck-styled premium scooter that bets flagship money on cameras, a CarPlay touchscreen, and a removable 3.2 kWh pack. We decode what is genuinely rare, what is table-stakes, and what 60 miles really means. Sources on everything.

Start with what matters
The 10-second answer

A genuinely distinctive, tech-forward premium scooter that sells design and software as much as transport. Plan for a ~60 mile claim that real city riding trims, 30 mph out of the box (65 mph unlocked with a license), a removable 3.2 kWh pack you charge indoors, and a ~$10,000 price that is the whole tension.

The full report

Every module behind the headlines: who it is for, claims vs. physics, true cost, reliability, parts, and the standard scorecard. All sourced.

The 10-second honest answer

A premium urban scooter wrapped in sharp, Cybertruck-adjacent bodywork. The real pitch is the tech: a 7-inch CarPlay touchscreen, front and rear cameras, GPS, an alarm, and over-the-air updates, plus a removable 3.2 kWh pack you charge from a wall outlet. It does 30 mph license-free, up to 65 mph once a software unlock and a motorcycle license say so, claims about 60 miles, and costs around $10,000. You are funding the novelty and the looks, not bargain commuting. Here is exactly what is real.

A

Is this bike for me?

Start here, the right answer depends entirely on who is asking.

01

Who it is actually for

Same scooter, very different answer depending on the rider. We lead every report with this so nobody buys the wrong machine.

📱Design and tech buyers

The sweet spot. If you want the most distinctive, software-forward premium scooter on the block and the price does not scare you, the P1 is unlike anything else in the segment. The cameras, screen, and OTA updates are real, not vapor.

Verdict, this is your bike
🏙️City commuters

A legitimate option. It is street-legal, two-up capable, and the 30 mph default needs no motorcycle license. Just go in knowing a mainstream scooter does the same commute for far less money.

Verdict, capable but premium
💰Value seekers

Wrong tool. If you want maximum value, simple proven hardware, and a deep parts network, a mainstream scooter will do the job for a fraction of the price. The P1's cost is the design and the software, not the transport.

Verdict, look elsewhere
👷Long-haul / highway riders

Not the brief. A ~60 mile claim and a top end around 55 to 65 mph make this an urban tool. For longer or faster trips, a full electric motorcycle is the right category.

Verdict, city-bound
02

Innovations

What is genuinely clever, and which "innovations" are really table-stakes. The part the brand's own page never tells you.

03

What makes it special

The P1's features, rated honestly. Each badge tells you whether it is a real edge, a solid practical win, or normal for a premium machine.

📺7-inch CarPlay touchscreen + cameras

Wireless Apple CarPlay on the dash, plus front and rear cameras, GPS tracking, an alarm, and over-the-air updates. The maker bills CarPlay as a first for two wheelers, and this level of integration is genuinely rare in the class.

★ Genuine edge
🔋Removable 3.2 kWh battery

The 72V pack pulls out so you can carry it inside and charge from a standard household outlet. On a city scooter for riders without a garage, that solves the single biggest ownership problem better than any fast-charge spec.

✓ Solid
🔒Software speed unlock

30 mph by default, no motorcycle license required, raised to as much as 65 mph with a license and a software unlock. The same hardware is either a license-free runabout or a fast scooter. Useful flexibility, but plan which one you actually need.

≈ Now common
🔥UL 2271 battery certification

The pack is UL 2271 certified for fire resistance. With micromobility battery fires a real concern, a named safety standard on the cell pack is a meaningful, checkable claim, not just a marketing word.

✓ Solid
🎨The angular design language

The whole machine is a statement piece. The Cybertruck-adjacent bodywork is the reason most buyers will look at it, and it is the clearest part of what the premium price buys. Not a spec, but the core of the product.

★ Genuine edge
Why this beats the brand's own page: the P1's page lists every feature as an equal selling point. We tell you the screen, cameras, and the design are the real, rare draw, the removable pack and UL-listed battery are solid practical wins, and the speed unlock is increasingly common, so you know exactly what the premium is paying for.
C

Keeping them honest

Marketing specs vs. the physics. The math is simple, battery capacity and a few formulas, so let us run it.

04

The "12 kW" headline, decoded

Peak watts make a great headline; they are not what carries you across town for more than a few seconds. The P1's honest figure is the continuous rating.

The P1 runs a hub motor rated at roughly 6 kW continuous with a 12 kW peak burst. Listings tend to print the bigger number. Convert both to the unit everyone feels:

# Horsepower = Watts ÷ 746
Peak burst:   12000 W ÷ 746 = 16.1 hp  (seconds, for a launch)
Continuous: 6000 W ÷ 746 = 8.0 hp  (what you actually cruise on)
Peak (burst)
16 hp · 12 kW
Continuous
8 hp · 6 kW
Why peak fades: a controller will deliver 12 kW briefly to get a heavy scooter moving, then settle to the continuous ceiling as it warms. For a city scooter that is fine, the instant low-speed torque is what makes it feel quick off the line in traffic, which matters far more here than a top-end horsepower headline.
05

Where "up to 60 miles" comes from

The headline range is a best-case figure. The maker has not published a separate mixed-use number, so we run the physics from the verified battery size to show the realistic band.

Step 1, real energy in the tank. Range starts with how much energy the battery holds: voltage × amp-hours.

# Energy (Wh) = Voltage × Amp-hours
72 V × 45 Ah = 3,240 Wh (3.2 kWh nominal)
# Cannot safely use 100%. BMS reserve + taper ≈ 88% usable:
3,240 × 0.88 = ~2,850 Wh usable

Step 2, how much you spend per mile. Consumption (Wh/mi) is the whole game, and it rises with speed because drag rises with the square of speed. A gentle 30 mph city pace sips little; sustained 55 to 65 mph costs far more.

# Range (mi) = Usable Wh ÷ Consumption (Wh/mi)

MARKETING (low speed, flat, gentle):
3,240 ÷ 54 = ~60 mi  ← the brochure number

REAL, mixed city, est.:
2,850 ÷ 71 = ~40 mi

REAL, faster / unlocked riding, est.:
2,850 ÷ 95 = ~30 mi
Claimed
60 mi
Mixed city (est.)
~40 mi
Faster riding (est.)
~30 mi
The takeaway: the 60 mile figure is the smallest plausible consumption at a gentle city speed. The mixed and faster numbers here are our estimates from the methodology, clearly labeled, because the maker has not published independent test ranges. Treat 60 as the ceiling, not the average. We will update this the moment verified real-world tests appear.
06

Speed is paperwork, not just hardware

The same machine is two different vehicles depending on a setting and your license. That is unusual, and worth understanding before you buy.

Out of the box the P1 is limited to 30 mph, which in many places needs no motorcycle license. With a motorcycle license, a software unlock raises the ceiling to as much as 65 mph. So you choose: a license-free city runabout, or a proper fast scooter.

The catch is the same physics as the range module. Unlocking to 65 mph and actually using it spikes consumption and pulls the real range toward the low end of the band above. You get the speed or the distance, rarely both on one charge. Decide which version of this scooter you need before you pay.

07

Charging: what is known, and what is not

Charge time is just battery size ÷ charger power. The maker has not published the P1's charger wattage or a 0 to 100% time, so we show the method and label the rest honestly.

What is verified: the removable 72V / 3.2 kWh pack charges from a standard household outlet, and you can carry it indoors to do so. The exact charger wattage and full-charge time are not published, so we will not invent them. Here is the formula and an illustrative range, clearly marked as an estimate:

# Charge time (hr) ≈ Battery Wh ÷ Charger W × 1.1 (losses + taper)
If ~700 W charger:  3,240 ÷ 700 × 1.1 = ~5.1 hr (illustrative)
If ~1,200 W charger: 3,240 ÷ 1200 × 1.1 = ~3.0 hr (illustrative)
These two lines bracket what a standard-outlet charger typically delivers; they are estimates from the formula, not maker figures. The genuine practical win is the same as the pack itself: it is removable, so you charge it wherever you live without needing a dedicated outlet by the bike. There is no claim of DC fast charging.

What it costs

The sticker is the smallest number in the story. Here is the whole bill.

09

True cost to buy (out-the-door)

The MSRP is a headline, not a checkout total. Here is what actually leaves your bank account on day one.

Line itemTypicalNotes
Scooter (MSRP)~$10,000Around $10k; configuration dependent
Shipping / deliveryvariesDirect-order; confirm at checkout
Sales tax (~8%)~$800Varies by state
Registration / platevariesIt is street-legal; state fees apply
Starter gear (helmet, gloves)$200–$400Non-negotiable, more if you unlock 65 mph
Realistic out-the-door≈ $11,000–$11,400Before a single mile
⚠ The hidden line: single-model startup risk The P1 comes from a young, single-model company with proprietary parts and a limited aftermarket. That is not a defect, but it is a real ownership consideration: resale has no track record yet, and software-heavy machines need ongoing updates and support. We date this note (May 2026) and recommend confirming current pricing, warranty terms, and support channels directly before you buy.

The 5-year cost to own

The number almost no one shows you. We itemize it, show the math, and state every assumption so you can adjust it to your own riding. Several figures here are estimates, because this is a new model with limited public ownership data.

3.6 × $0.17/kWh = $0.62 per charge
$0.62 ÷ 40 mi = ~1.5¢ / mile  # ~$22/yr at 1,500 mi
⚠ A note on the resale line Most of the uncertainty in this table is the resale figure. The P1 is a new model from a single-product startup, so there is no five-year resale history to lean on. We modeled a conservative ~45% rather than the strong 50 to 60% an established brand might hold. If the company thrives and the design ages well, your real cost could be lower; if support falters, higher. That is the honest range.

Living with it

What breaks, who fixes it, and whether you can get parts.

11

Service & reliability, the honest state of it

The P1 is a recent launch from a young company, so long-term owner data is still thin. We will not manufacture a reliability verdict that does not yet exist. Here is what is known, framed honestly.

✓ Reasons for optimism

  • UL 2271 certified battery pack, a named safety standard.
  • Simple electric drivetrain: no clutch, gears, oil, or valves.
  • Removable pack means charging and storage are easy.
  • Over-the-air updates can fix software issues without a shop visit.

✕ Open questions

  • Single-model startup: limited service network and track record.
  • Proprietary parts with a thin aftermarket.
  • Software-heavy design depends on ongoing maker support and updates.
  • Resale and long-term durability are not yet proven.
Our read: the hardware fundamentals are sound and the safety certification is a genuine plus, but the P1's biggest variable is the company behind it. With a single-model startup, support, updates, and parts depend on the maker staying healthy. We score support and parts accordingly, and we will revise reliability once real long-term owner data accumulates rather than guess at it now.
12

Parts & aftermarket availability

A machine is only as ownable as its parts supply. Here the P1 is at the early-startup stage: factual, not flattering.

As a single-model startup, the P1 uses proprietary parts sourced through the maker rather than a broad aftermarket. Common wear items like tires and brake pads follow standard scooter sizes and should be easy enough, but model-specific electronics, the screen, cameras, and the battery route through Infinite Machine. There is no established third-party aftermarket yet. Confirm parts availability and lead times with the maker before buying.

Bottom line: the P1 is a bold, genuinely innovative premium scooter that sells design and software as much as transport. It scores well on street-legal usability and is honest about being a city tool. It loses points on value and on the unknowns of a single-model startup, parts, support, and unproven resale. Buy it knowing you are funding the novelty, the cameras, and the looks, not bargain commuting. If that is what you want, nothing else looks like it.

The math toolkit

Our standing methodology, run identically on every e-moto, including bikes we would otherwise have reason to flatter.

5 formulas, every bike
1Real energy in the battery
Energy (Wh) = Voltage (V) × Capacity (Ah)

The only honest way to compare two batteries. 72V × 45Ah holds 3.2 kWh nominal.

2Usable energy
Usable Wh ≈ Nominal Wh × 0.85–0.90

You never use 0 to 100%. The BMS holds a reserve and voltage tapers at the bottom. We assume ~88%.

3Real range
Range (mi) = Usable Wh ÷ Consumption (Wh/mi)

Consumption is the lever: gentle city sips, sustained speed costs far more. Drag rises with speed².

4Power you can feel
hp = Watts ÷ 746  |  Continuous = cruise · Peak = launch

Always ask which number a spec quotes. Peak sells; continuous moves you.

5Charge time
Time (hr) ≈ Battery Wh ÷ Charger W × 1.1

"Charges from an outlet" is meaningless without the charger's wattage. The ×1.1 covers losses and taper.

Cost assumptionWe usedChange it if…
Annual mileage1,500 mi/yr (7,500 / 5 yr)You ride more → service rises
Electricity rate$0.17 / kWh (US avg)Your utility differs
Sales tax~8%Your state differs
Battery lifeNo replacement in 5 yrHeavy use → sooner
Resale~45% of MSRP at yr 5 (est.)Unproven; startup risk both ways
