Hidden somewhere among the thousands of flashy displays and exhibits at CES 2023 in Las Vegas was the recently upgraded 2023 Bugatti electric scooter.
businessroundups.org never saw it. Does somebody have?
Fortunately, details and images of the 2023 model, a 10% larger, more premium electric scooter, have now been released.
Bugatti launched a $1,200 electric scooter in 2022, through a partnership with tech accessory company Bytech. The two companies teamed up again for a second-generation scooter that is sturdier, equipped with new features and colors, and has a larger “self-healing.” tyres.
The scooter from 2023 is 10% larger than its predecessor and, according to the companies, is equipped with a 36 volt / 15.6 Ah battery and an electric motor with a maximum power of 1,000 watts. That battery and motor combination allows the scooter to handle an 18-degree incline, a maximum speed of 22 miles per hour, and travel 35 miles on a single charge, the company said. (That’s up from the 22-mile range in the previous model.)
No word yet on pricing for this larger, second-generation model. Perhaps this is one of those “if you must ask” moments.

The overall extended size extends to a larger deck area for standing and a 10-inch tire (previous was nine inches) with a pneumatic tubeless design that comes with a built-in glue repair mechanism that fixes potential punctures. (The technology is much like tubeless tires used in bicycles. The tires can be filled with a sealant that is released and coats the interior if there is a flat.)
The new Bugatti scooter now has password protection, a touch screen that displays speed, driving mode, battery life and headlight operation. Fitted with leather grips, the scooter comes in three colors including a new yellow and black design that pays homage to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti (apparently his favorite color combination) and the W16 Mistral roadster, which has a similar color scheme.
At the end of those leather handles are two small LED lights. For added safety and visibility, the turn signals are synchronized and displayed on the corresponding MIPS-certified helmet.
