In today’s world, there are numerous user-friendly ways to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Unlike the past, where one would simply jump on a bike and start riding, newer motorcyclists now have it much easier. In addition to easy-to-ride scooters, there are various other motorcycle-like devices available, some of which have more than two wheels.

One such example is the X-OTO, a scooter that aims to revolutionize urban mobility. At first glance, it may appear to be a typical scooter with training wheels on the rear, but it is much more than that. This three-wheeled scooter is driven by an electric motor mounted on the front wheel and features X-OTO’s patented leaning technology, allowing it to lean like a traditional two-wheeler. This unique design combines the stability of a trike with the agility of a two-wheeler, making it quite intriguing.

One advantage of the X-OTO is that it lowers the barriers to entry for new riders. In California, where the company is based, this scooter doesn’t require a motorcycle license to operate due to its three-wheeled configuration. However, it’s important to check local rules and regulations in other states and countries to ensure compliance.

The scooter is equipped with a powerful 4,000-watt (5.3 horsepower) motor mounted on the front wheel. With good traction, it can reach a top speed of 45 miles per hour, making it suitable for neighborhood and urban riding. The X-OTO features two removable batteries with a combined capacity of 4.3 kilowatt hours. The claimed range is an impressive 90 miles, although achieving this mileage may require gentle acceleration.

In terms of pricing, the X-OTO is considered quite expensive, retailing at $7,499 USD. It is not intended to replace daily drivers but rather serves as a unique and quirky three-wheeler option in the market.
