Reimagined Mobility · London
Biovelo builds carbon fibre scooters for people who want to go further than the end of the road. Fold the tiller, lift out the seat, and the frame goes into a car boot with one pair of hands.
BV-T1 Trike target weight, complete with battery and seat. The heaviest piece you lift into the boot is about 8.4 kg.
Most folding scooters still weigh more than the person helping you can lift.
So the scooter stays at home, and the journeys that matter most (seeing family, getting to appointments, a day somewhere new) need a vehicle hoist, an expensive adaptation, or don't happen at all.
Biovelo starts from the lift. A carbon fibre frame, a single low hinge on the steering column and a quick-release seat bring the heaviest piece down to a weight one person can manage.
It is designed by people who use mobility scooters every day, and styled like something you would choose, not something you were prescribed.
The range
Both models share the same carbon fibre structure, motor, battery and folding system. Choose three wheels for nimble handling indoors and in tight spaces, or four for extra stability outdoors.
BV-T1
Three wheels, tight turning, the lightest Biovelo. Made for the car boot, the shops and the train.
BV-Q1
Four wheels for a broader, steadier stance on kerbs, paths and uneven ground, still light enough to fold and lift.
First production is the Base edition of both models: carbon fibre structure in a satin black finish. An exposed-weave carbon edition of each will follow once the Base is in production.
From pavement to boot
One low hinge on the steering column folds the handlebars down over the frame.
The seat lifts straight off its quick-release post.
The 288 Wh pack comes out separately, so you never lift it with the frame.
The Trike frame weighs about 8.4 kg on its own, light enough for one person.
