The Infinite Machine P1 electric scooter has garnered positive initial impressions in a recent hands-on review published by Electrek, highlighting its bold design, 65 mph top speed, and integrated technology. The review, conducted by Nando Prince for Electrek, offers a first look at the vehicle's capabilities and user experience. Infinite Machine, the Brooklyn-based company behind the P1, announced the review via a tweet, directing readers to the full article.
The P1 is described as a "radical new personal electric vehicle" designed for urban environments, featuring a striking angular aesthetic with anodized aluminum panels over a powder-coated steel chassis. It is powered by a 6kW hub motor and a 4.3kWh swappable battery, offering a claimed range of up to 60 miles in city conditions. The vehicle's performance and design aim to provide a compelling alternative to traditional cars in metropolitan areas.
Beyond its performance, the P1 integrates advanced technology for security and user convenience. Features include auto-lock, a siren, and motor and front wheel locks for best-in-class theft prevention. The scooter is controlled via a dedicated Infinite Machine App, which also facilitates features like wireless Apple CarPlay and over-the-air updates. The Electrek review specifically praised the P1's straightforward and effective tech experience.
Founded by brothers Joseph and Eddie Cohen, Infinite Machine's mission is to build "the best non-cars on earth," envisioning a post-car future. The company recently secured a $9.3 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with additional participation from notable investors including Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg. This funding is intended to accelerate production and market launch of the P1, with deliveries for the second production batch scheduled for 2025 in the U.S.
The P1, priced at $10,000 for its First Edition, is positioned as a premium electric scooter. While the Electrek review provided initial insights, a full, long-term review is anticipated to further assess its daily usability. Infinite Machine plans to expand its product line beyond the P1, developing a full range of electric vehicles for various urban transport needs.
