They say that design is intelligence made visible, and we’re seeing this come into fruition in the growing number of electric vehicles hitting the market. You could argue that the micromobility segment, which consists of e-scooters, e-bikes, and other personal mobility devices, is one of the most lucrative when it comes to cutting edge technology and design. Take, for example, the new P1 electric scooter from Brooklyn-based Infinite Machine.
The P1, not to be mistaken with the supercar from British manufacturer Mclaren, is designed to be your all-around urban mobility companion. Its styling gives off futuristic vibes thanks to its radical aluminum and steel mono-chassis. It also gets a front grill that adds to its unique aesthetic, though I’m guessing it serves more of a stylistic purpose than a functional one. The P1’s boxy and simplistic styling speaks to its no-frills and user-focused nature, stuff we’ll dive to in just a little bit.
