Introducing Three-Wheeled Engineered Scooter For Urban Life
What’s the biggest challenge of getting around in today’s cities? Safety? Stability? Or just finding a smarter way to commute? XOTO Inc. believes the answer isn’t just one thing, it’s a complete rethinking of urban mobility. So, what’s the answer to all these urban problems? XOTO’s three-wheeled electric scooter. The name tells all about the innovation but it’s not your average ride.
The new XOTO scooter has two rear wheels that lean into turns. Riders get to “surf the road” with precision, balance, and a touch of fun. Engineered for modern urban environments, this vehicle is all about advanced technology and practicality. Behind this genius design is Tim Huntzinger. He’s an expert with over 20 years of experience designing electric vehicles for companies like NASA, Boeing, and Rivian. See how his vision is changing urban mobility for everyone!
Making Your Everyday Commute Easier!
Urban commuting comes with its challenges like crowded streets, unpredictable traffic, and the constant search for a safer way to get around. Traditional two-wheeled scooters struggle to meet these demands completely. While three-wheeled trikes offer stability, they sacrifice agility and fun. XOTO saw an opportunity to change that.
Luckily for riders, Tim Huntzinger, XOTO’s founder and CEO, had been a fan of motorcycle riding for years! “One too many times of fighting to stay upright on slippery, sandy, or otherwise unstable roads made him start to think about how to make a safer ride,” explains the company. His solution? A patented design featuring two rear wheels that lean and adjust as you turn. This innovation provides the stability of a three-wheeled vehicle with the vibe of a two-wheeler.
Don’t have skills? No one has to know that! The scooter incorporates front-wheel drive technology for control like pro-riders on the road. “It is a totally different riding experience,” says Huntzinger. “The mechanism gives stability in a turn even at lower speed. This means you can lean at the full range no matter what your skill level.” With XOTO, urban mobility gets an upgrade that is safer, fun, and more versatile.
Odd Wheels Are Better Than Even (Practically!)
Till now odd wheels have been out since they feel odd. But practically speaking, their stability is top-notch. What if we told you that XOTO’s electric three-wheeled seated scooter doesn’t “feel” odd but has the feel of a two-wheeled ride? XOTO’s unique hybrid design allows riders to lean up to 45 degrees into corners. This feature provides more stability than a typical two-wheeled scooter.
The self-stabilizing design uses two rear wheels that lean into turns. With optimized wheel placement, two wheels at the front and one at the rear, the scooter achieves a lower center of gravity and responsive handling ideal for tight turns and crowded streets. “It is a totally different riding experience. The mechanism gives stability in a turn even at the lower speed. This means you can lean at the full range no matter what your skill level” says Huntzinger. XOTO’s design gives you control without extra effort and minimizes risks from slippery pavement and loose surfaces.
In all aspects of XOTO’S scooter, performance and technology meet for the ride. It is powered by a 300W front-wheel-drive brushless hub motor that delivers a top speed of 45 MPH. Riders can choose from three-speed modes to suit their commute. Its advanced modular lithium-ion battery provides up to 45 miles per charge and can double the range to 90 miles with an additional battery.
The front-wheel drive pulls the vehicle in the direction you want to go. Tim himself said, “Riding X- OTO feels different. It’s safer than a motorcycle and easier to ride, so it removes the barriers that hold a lot of people back. It’s easier to carry a passenger or cargo than an e-bike so it should be more useful for most people. In many states, you don’t even need a motorcycle license to ride it.” An anti-dive front suspension prevents pitching forward during hard braking for improved safety. This design is engineered to meet real-world needs.
Aside from real-world needs, additional features include hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels for superior stopping power and responsive LED lighting. “On XOTO’s 3 wheels, it’s easier to carry passengers or cargo than on a 2-wheeler,” Huntzinger adds. With under-seat storage, passenger foot pegs, and a cargo rack, the scooter adapts to real rider needs.
From geo-tracking and geo-fencing options to built-in Bluetooth sound systems, XOTO combines practical technology with thoughtful design. In a recent YouTube interview, Tim Huntzinger explained the innovation behind the design and its impact on mobility. He concluded, “You know I’m hoping to to kind of give people an opportunity to reevaluate their mobility choices and give them another option other than a car to get around.” This vision is for more than a scooter, it’s for a new way to move through urban spaces.
