Xoto Creates Lightweight Self-Stabilizing Electric Vehicle: Leaning Electric Motorcycle Three-Wheel Drive Bike

Introducing XOTO (pronounced EX-OTO), a new player in the American EV market, offering an innovative 3-wheeled electric vehicle. Led by CEO Tim Huntzinger, an experienced figure in automotive and aerospace design, XOTO provides a budget-friendly and enjoyable mode of transportation. The vehicle boasts impressive maneuverability, control, stability, and eco-friendliness. One of its standout features is a patented self-stabilizing mechanism, ensuring riders can lean into curves with ease while maintaining maximum safety. Huntzinger holds degrees in industrial design from BYU and the Art Center College of Design. The best part is you don’t need a motorcycle license to ride it, at least in California.

How is the Xoto electric bike different?

XOTO is set to establish a dealer network, led by power sports industry specialist Mr. Mike Shell, who brings extensive experience in creating sales channels for revolutionary technologies. This network aims to revolutionize transportation through electric motorcycles, combining style and sustainability with electric power. XOTO anticipates that these motorbikes will reduce car usage in urban areas as more people seek affordable commuting options. The X-OTO is beginning deliveries this summer, so you won’t have to wait long if you want to get your lean on.

According to Huntzinger, riding a XOTO is a whole new experience, providing stability during turns even at lower speeds. Riders can lean at their full range regardless of their skill level, making it safer and removing the barriers that deter many people from riding traditional motorcycles. Moreover, XOTO’s three-wheeled electric scooter offers advantages over e-bikes, such as easier passenger and cargo transportation and, in many states, not requiring a motorcycle license to ride.

The XOTO three-wheeled electric scooter is now available for order, with prices starting at $7499. The company plans to ship to California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada in June 2023.

XOTO’s new 3-wheel electric scooter features:

  • A top speed of 45 MPH with a 3000W brushless hub motor
  • Front-wheel drive that delivers better control and stability on the road
  • An advanced modular lithium-ion battery that carries you up to 45 miles on a single charge (based on industry-standard testing)
  • An optional second battery that can be swapped out in a moment to extend your range
  • A spacious and ergonomic seating position that can support up to 350 lbs
  • LED headlight/taillight, USB port, and storage rack Optional: geo-tracking, geo-fencing, Bluetooth sound system, and more to come

XOTO has managed to bring together an impressive combination of features in their innovative electric moped. This new category of light electric vehicles combines many of the benefits of motorcycles and bicycles, providing a totally different riding experience. The patented self-stabilizing mechanism and front-wheel drive system create an unprecedented level of stability in a turn, even at lower speeds. The synchronized wheel movement of the two rear wheels, along with a low center of gravity, gives the XOTO its unique poise.

This three-wheeler can handle up to 145 km or 90 miles with a pair of removable 4.3 kWh batteries. The 3000W front-wheel drive contributes to its safe navigation even on wet spots or patches of gravel on the road. The founder’s edition is priced at $7499 and makes it easier to carry a passenger or cargo than an e-bike, adding to its usability.

Notably, the XOTO is built to withstand even a rear swing arm pothole, making it an excellent choice for daily commutes or leisurely rides. With its self-stabilizing technology, you’re guaranteed a smooth ride, allowing you to lean around corners just like a two-wheeled Moto. Embrace this new era of light electric vehicles with XOTO.
