The Micromobility Startup Infinite Machine, based in New York, showed a seated scooter named Olto, which will cost $ 3,495 later this year.
The OLTO is contained 40 miles and pulled from a easily replaceable 48 V-lithium-ion battery. According to the Infinite Machine, the OLTO will have a top speed of 20 miles per hour in bicycle lines and “33 km / h in the off-road”, which is powered by a 750-w-rear hub engine. There is a headlight with high and waking rays and turning signals to support the visibility on the street.
The endless machine also promises that the OLTO is modular and elements that you may find on a larger freight wheel, such as a child operator, a rear rack or a basket. There are even fold-out pedals that can deliver pedal assist drive via a chain connected to the rear wheel, which means that the driver can use the type of e-bike like an e-bike. And Infinite Machine says that Olto can set two people, supported by the vehicle’s dual suspension framework.
It is a strong price tag, but it is less than half of what endless machine calculates for the flagship cybertruck style with two-wheeler, the P1. This vehicle that started the startup with the first customers costs 10,000 US dollars.
The Olto is the latest entry into the constantly disturbing market for electrical two -wheelers. This emigration was difficult to navigate, especially in the United States. One of the leading American e-bike brands, Rad Power Bikes, has run through several discount rounds and recently changed its leadership. International brands have also tried to gain a foothold in the United States and contribute to the bankruptcy structuring of Vanmoof and cake.
Infinite Machine started turning the heads in 2023 with the design of the P1 scooter. In a financing round led by Andessen Horowitz, 9 million US dollars were ultimately secured in a financing round. The founder and CEO Joseph Cohen said to Techcrunch at the time that his destination for Infinite Machine should ultimately have vehicles in every big city around the world.
In the short term, however, the infinite machine focuses on the US market-what a challenging place to sell vehicles like OLTO.
“We think that what we as an American company can bring is an amazing product sensitivity that does not exist with the products on the market, and that is the angle we take,” Cohen told Techcrunch last year. “We come to this category and say, you know, these plastic things that look like printer, we can do it better. We can do something that feels like your favorite car – but not as a car, but something that extends into the city.”
