How to buy a Booster K1 or T1 robot: retailers, prices and warranty

Yes. The Booster K1 and the older Booster T1 are offered in Europe by retailers that publish their prices, notably in Germany and France. Booster Robotics, however, publishes neither prices nor a list of authorised distributors on its website. Its online store shows two robots, the T2 and the K1, each with a buy button but no amount. European buyers therefore go either through a contact form on the manufacturer’s site or through a retailer, and prices, VAT, lead times and warranty vary from one site to the next. The figures below were recorded on 22 October 2026 unless otherwise stated.

Buying from Booster’s official website

An online store with no prices

On booster.tech, the store page lists only the Booster T2, described as the “flagship embodied development platform”, and the Booster K1, the “entry platform”. Each has a “Buy now” button. The page gives no price, no edition, no delivery country and no distributor. The T1 no longer appears in the showcase, the store or the documentation, which contains only the K1 and T2 manuals.

For sales, Booster points to a sales address ([email protected]) and to a form titled “Cooperation Inquiry”. The country field is mandatory and requests are categorised as “Purchase” or “Other”. For the T2, a post published on 26 August 2026 in the Open Robotics community by Viki Chen of Booster Robotics gives the price as “on request” from a company contact. Futura Sciences reported on 13 October 2026 that third-party retailers list the T2 at around €27,000.

The Chinese version of the site links to its own store, which also shows no prices. On 17 September 2026 it announced the release of a new K1 edition called “K1 Explorer”.

Booster’s warranty and service terms

The service terms published by Booster set out a few general rules:

• the warranty starts when the robot is received;
• repairs outside the warranty are charged;
• the buyer pays to ship the robot to after-sales service, while Booster covers the return shipment when a quality defect is confirmed;
• there is no general returns policy;
• a “Support & Repair” portal is listed.

These terms mention neither CE marking nor the regions served.

Booster K1 warranty length by edition

The official Booster K1 spec sheet lists three editions with different warranties. The values below are the manufacturer’s.

The official specifications common to all three editions are: about 95 cm tall standing, about 19.5 kg and 22 degrees of freedom (2 in the head, 4 per arm, 6 per leg). The robot walks at 2 m/s, turns at 1.5 rad/s and delivers a maximum peak torque of 60 N·m. It charges through a magnetic port.

Where to buy Booster robots in Europe: retailers and prices

Booster relies at least partly on retailers. According to TMTPost (12 January 2026), more than 1,000 K1 units had been signed with retailers at launch, and overseas markets accounted for more than half of the company’s shipments. Three European retailers publish prices for the range. A fourth, reichelt, described itself in an article dated 28 August 2025 as “one of the first distributors” of the Booster range in the German-speaking region, without giving prices.

Funduino (Germany)

Funduino lists prices “including VAT, excluding shipping”. All models are marked “available to order”, and an education discount of “up to 10%” is granted on invoice.

Matching the editions: Funduino’s “K1 Basic EDU” and “K1 PRO” are two versions rated at 117 and 200 TOPS, the compute figures of Booster’s Education and Professional editions. Neither Booster nor Funduino confirms this equivalence. The match rests on these figures alone.

Funduino also sells K1 accessories: a 5 Ah battery (80 minutes) at €1,307.81, a 2 Ah battery at €831.81 and chargers at €249.00. One product page in the store also mentions a Geek version with 48 TOPS.

Génération Robots (France)

Génération Robots, based in Mérignac, presented the T1 on its blog on 3 April 2025 “from €32,500.00 excl. VAT”. The article announced delivery within 4 to 6 weeks and a one-year warranty. The retailer described itself as Booster’s “exclusive distributor” in Europe, and repeated the phrase in its 26 June 2025 article on the K1. Booster confirms this exclusivity nowhere, and Funduino, OpenELAB and reichelt also sell the range. The June 2025 article on the K1 gives no price and announces delivery within 3 to 4 weeks.

The retailer also offered a used T1 Standard, a former demonstration unit, at €31,200 incl. VAT, or €26,000 excl. VAT. The original list price was shown as €39,000 incl. VAT, a 20% discount. This information comes from the distributor’s product page, cited in our article of 19 October 2026. It was a single unit, “not to be restocked”. The page stated:

• shipping within 24 to 48 hours;
• payment by card, bank transfer or public-sector purchase order;
• a first response from after-sales service within 24 working hours;
• a CE symbol on the retailer’s page, which appears on no official Booster page.

OpenELAB

On its collection page, OpenELAB lists four T1 variants:

• T1 “Developer-Ready”: €34,545.00;
• T1 Standard: €39,795.00;
• T1 with grippers: €49,245.00;
• T1 with dexterous hands: €60,795.00.

The German product page for the T1 “Developer-Ready” states “VAT included”, with no price excluding VAT. The first two variants, which are similar, are listed at €34,545.00 and €39,795.00. The store also offers an AGX Orin 32 GB compute upgrade at €3,148.95 and a T1 battery at €2,623.95, out of stock when the prices were recorded.

For the K1, OpenELAB sells accessories:

• a 5 Ah battery with charger at €2,623.95, on pre-order with restocking announced within 2 to 3 weeks;
• a standard battery at €1,888.95;
• a charger at €250.95.

OpenELAB’s stated terms are as follows:

• shipping from China within 5 to 10 working days, or import via a European or US office;
• shipments within the European Union on DDP terms, with duties and VAT paid;
• a 2-year legal warranty for customers in the European Union;
• returns within 14 days under the site’s policy.

Booster prices with and without VAT

Retailers do not all display their prices the same way. Génération Robots gave the new T1 price excluding VAT on its blog (€32,500.00) and the used unit both including and excluding VAT. Funduino and OpenELAB show prices including VAT. With French VAT at 20%, Génération Robots’ figures add up: €32,500 excl. VAT corresponds to €39,000 incl. VAT, the original list price of the used offer. Likewise, €26,000 excl. VAT gives exactly €31,200 incl. VAT. Funduino’s T1 Basic is also listed at €39,000.00, including VAT and excluding shipping. At OpenELAB, DDP shipping within Europe means the seller pays duties and VAT.

Booster K1 Explorer price in China on JD.com

According to Itiger (21 September 2026), the K1 Explorer edition sells from 38,999 yuan on Booster’s official store on JD.com. This edition comes with a 3-month warranty, compared with one year for the Education and Professional editions. The outlet presents it as aimed at the home, STEM teaching, DIY projects and competitions. When the K1 launched on 24 October 2025, Jiemian reported a limited-time introductory price “from 29,900 yuan“. TMTPost reported at the time that it was sold on Taobao and Tmall, and that a first batch paid in full sold out in 20 minutes. These prices apply to the Chinese market and do not correspond to any European price.

What we do not know yet

Booster publishes no official price for the K1, the T2 or the T1. Nor does it publish a list of authorised distributors. The European exclusivity claimed by Génération Robots is therefore not established. No Booster source attests to CE compliance.

Several points remain unclear for anyone buying from a European retailer:

• how warranty and after-sales service work in France, between the manufacturer’s terms (shipping paid by the buyer, no regions served listed) and the retailer’s;
• Funduino’s delivery terms for France;
• the current prices on Génération Robots’ product pages for the K1 and the new T1;
• the price of the K1 robot at OpenELAB and of the Geek version at Funduino.

On the manufacturer’s side, it is not known when or why the T1 was removed from the official showcase, how many T1 units have been delivered, or how sales actually split between JD.com, Tmall and the official store.
