FAQs

  • There are lots of reasons:

    1. You like fun, freedom, and flowing with the road.

    2. You think having the fun of a motorcycle with the stability of 3 wheels sounds awesome. (It is.)

    3. You realize that XOTO would be perfect for so many of your quick trips. (Or even to work.)

    4. You’re tired of being stuck in traffic, and you don’t love public transportation.

    5. You’re sick of paying that much money (!) for gas. (We are, too.)

    6. You’d love to find easier, closer places to park.

    7. You think bicycles kind of suck (unless you’re strictly riding them for the workout—yay cardio!).

    8. You’re interested in an electric vehicle, but cars are too expensive.

    9. You like affordable, practical, comfortable, well-made, eco-friendly solutions in general.

    10. You’re a stylish, forward-thinking trendsetter. (Of course.)

  • Two wheeled motorcycles and bicycles work great, until they don’t. If you hit that patch of gravel, the wrong pothole, or the rain puddle, things can go bad very quickly.

    With three wheels on the ground, you can lose traction on all wheels and have a much stronger chance of staying upright, thus avoiding a crash.

  • When you’re going around a turn on our 3-wheeled self-stabilizing vehicle, leaning allows you to keep your center of gravity in the angle of the turn. Meaning: you can make the turn at a higher speed without pulling a wheel up off the road, losing your balance, and falling over. Without the ability to lean, you have to take those corners pretty slowly and carefully. Not only is leaning safer for the rider, it’s a lot more fun!

  • XOTO can lean more than 45 degrees, which means you can do more stable turns at higher or lower speeds. The amount of lean you’re capable of doing is effectively your speed limit for any turns you can do. However, never forget that you can also experience the joys of leaning at lower speeds too. (Please drive responsibly.)

  • Most people get the hang of it very quickly since leaning into a turn is so intuitive. The important thing to remember is to trust the vehicle and lean in. Because the stabilizing mechanism is working to keep you up, you have to lean a little bit more than you are used to doing on a two wheeled vehicle.

  • You can carry passengers, boxes, bags, or anything else you can strap to the back. (But let’s agree not to strap down your passengers…you can just let them prop their feet on the handy and comfortable passenger pegs 😊)

    On XOTO’s 3 wheels, it’s actually easier to balance people or cargo on the back than it is on a 2-wheeled vehicle. The only restriction is that you need to keep the total weight under 350 pounds.

  • There are 3 modes: Low (1), Medium (2), and High (3). Modes 1 and 2 limit your top speed. Mode 3 gives you full power.

  • Yes. We’ve built this scooter in a modular way to allow for the longest possible lifespan. The battery is fully replaceable and you’ll be able to buy spares on our website and upgrade easily as new technology becomes available.

    To dive into the details a little more, our Battery Management System (BMS) is constantly monitoring the battery to make sure it stays happy and healthy in all environments and states of performance. That alone will extend the life of your battery considerably.

  • Yes! The batteries slide right out of their slots and the charger can be plugged into a standard wall outlet.

  • According to our current battery manufacturer, it takes about 5 hours to completely charge a battery from absolute zero power. However, most people won’t be riding 40-45 miles in a day, meaning that their batteries won’t be as depleted, and it will take less time to charge.

  • In California, because XOTO has 3 wheels, all you need is a valid California driver’s license to ride. Otherwise, it depends on your local rules. Please reach out to us with the state you’re in and we’ll help you find out what you need to do to ride.
