FOBOS Model X

Quality matters. The FOBOS company's slogan put into practice. The long-awaited FOBOS Model X scooter has finally arrived! The absolute pinnacle of design and quality is hitting the market. FOBOS has been long listening to its customers and has created a scooter everyone will fall in love with. The FOBOS Model X embodies what we have been dreaming about all these years. The extreme 10 080 W power packed in a pleasant and practical design and with accessories you will not find anywhere else. It reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, which is why it is equipped with a high-quality hydraulic steering damper preventing the front wheel from oscillating and thus increasing the rider's safety. Such a great power deserves a long range and the Model X excels in this field as well. With a huge 72 V, 40 Ah battery, it will offer an incredible 160 km range under ideal conditions. Should that not be enough for you, a 5 A fast charger supplied as a standard will take care of quick energy replenishment for your battery. Only top-quality materials have been used in the production of the FOBOS Model X scooter, which provides reassurance that the scooter will serve you for a very long time. The FOBOS is a brand you will surely start hearing more frequently about in the future.

Body, design and equipment

This scooter's design is unique and very well thought-through. The FOBOS Model X is a precisely manufactured scooter with attention paid to every detail. To ensure maximum durability and rider safety, both the frame and the handlebars are made of specially wrought aerospace aluminum of highest quality. The FOBOS Model X is the first in the world to come with a pre-installed 4G IoT module, supplemented with GPS, Bluetooth and a smartphone app. In the app, you can set the scooter features, monitor its battery status, view riding statistics and, in the event of theft, you can find your scooter based on its current GPS position. FOBOS went a bit against the current trend seen among other manufacturers and equipped the scooter with a thumb lever, which many riders have long been calling for. In addition to the rigid aluminum frame, certain critical parts of the scooter are made of alloy steel to ensure maximum strength. The folding mechanism is likewise precisely made, to prevent any internal play or unpleasant squeaking sounds. All parts of the body fit precisely together to prevent vibrations between them. You can adjust the massive adjustable stand to your preferences, depending on whether you like a bigger or lower tilt of the scooter when parked. The capacity of the dual 120 A controller has been designed not to overheat even at maximum load. Also worth mentioning is the well-arranged color information display made in-house by FOBOS and displaying all important data, such as speed, current gear, daily kilometers travelled (TRIP), total kilometers travelled (ODO) and the current battery level. Thanks to its high brightness level, the display remains legible even in adverse weather conditions and is waterproof.

Safety and ride quality

People at FOBOS have manufactured Model X to provide customers with first-class safety and unique, uncompromising quality. The first important safety element is a pre-installed hydraulic steering damper produced in-house by FOBOS, which eliminates oscillations of the front wheel at higher speeds. Its rigidity can be adjusted by a rotary knob located at the bottom section of the damper. At FOBOS, they also make sure that the scooter maintenance is as simple as possible for the riders. That is why they chose front and rear suspension in the form of replaceable elastomer cartridges that excel in high durability, reliability and minimal maintenance requirements. If the suspension seems too stiff or too soft to a rider, its stiffness can be adjusted by choosing other cartridge offering different elastomer stiffness. The FOBOS Model X is supplied with two, fully hydraulic Nutt brakes fitted with 160 mm discs that give you strong and easily adjustable braking force when braking. Combined with electronic regenerative brake, you can rest assured that you will always brake to a stop safely from any speed. This brake will also return some of the energy back to your battery. Another important safety feature is the electronic ABS that prevents wheel locking when braking heavily. Proper rider safety cannot be maintained without adequate lighting, to which FOBOS paid particular attention. They equipped the scooter with a strong front LED light located on the steering rod and with a red rear light that significantly increases its luminosity when the brake lever is pressed. To make you visible, the FOBOS Model X is also equipped with LEDs in the front and rear section of the deck and with turn signals. The integrated color backlit FOBOS logo is found on the sides of the deck and on the steering column and you can change the backlight color according to your preference using a remote control. With this kind of equipment, you therefore do not have to worry about riding at night or think about buying additional lights for your scooter. The less experienced riders can reduce the extreme power of their Fobos scooter by switching off the front motor or by selecting a lower gear on the scooter's display or in their smartphone app. People at FOBOS likewise thought about practical design of both fenders that make sure you do not have to worry about riding in bad weather. Moreover, the rear fender is reinforced with an extra side strut to prevent it from vibrating. The easy-to-maintain step-on deck surface prevents riders from slipping in an extreme situation and comes as a bonus. If you need to lift this scooter, load it into a car or carry it some place else, the Model X is equipped for this purpose with a comfortable handle located above the rear fender.

Power and range

The performance and range feel like a dream and the adrenaline enthusiasts surely have something to look forward to! The two motors provide a total 10 080 W power, which is a genuinely extreme power only a few riders can fully handle. You will climb every slope and, if needed, you will even be able to accelerate at any time while climbing. The FOBOS Model X is equipped with a huge 72 V, 40 Ah battery that will take you very far, indeed. Under ideal conditions, the Model X promises a range of up to 160 km, which is quite a huge distance. A range like that will give you the freedom to ride without having to worry about where to recharge your battery. However, should that not be enough for you, the 5 A fast charger supplied as a standard will allow you to quickly charge your battery in a very short time. Should this be still not enough for you, you can connect two fast chargers or, optionally, buy a fast 10 A charger with twice the power. The BMS (Battery Management System) will take care of proper management of individual segments comprising the battery pack, maintaining constant 60 mAh current. The two charging ports are fitted with protective caps preventing dirt from entering inside, which means you do not have to worry about them getting damaged. The battery does not suffer from any undesirable memory effect, which is why it will last many years, subject to proper charging and maintenance! Under ideal conditions, the dual 120 A control unit made in-house by FOBOS allows accelerating the Model X to a 100 km/h speed, which is truly something.

Use and practicality

Thanks to its high performance, rigid structure and high-precision workmanship, the scooter is intended for very demanding riders who do not wish to make compromises. Thanks to its 2x2 drive, the FOBOS Model X will handle even a very steep hill. With its 11-inch and 90 mm wide tubeless tires, the Model X provides you excellent comfort, traction and safety both on the road and on unpaved surfaces. Tubeless tires significantly reduces the risk of getting a flat tire. The adjustable and replaceable elastomeric suspension will make your ride very comfortable, both on cobblestones and on field roads. And because everything is extreme when it comes to the FOBOS Model X, its weight of 49 kg is extreme as well. The scooter is therefore not intended to be frequently lifted and carried, which is common in this scooter category. Thanks to the folding steering column and handlebars, it can be loaded into the trunk of a car, but loading it will make you sweat a little. However, once you start riding this scooter, you will never want to let go of it and you will be a living example of the saying: "Once FOBOS, forever FOBOS".
