Infinite Machine raises $9M to convince Americans to buy scooters
Infinite Machine turned many heads when it revealed its metallic, cyberpunk-style electric scooter in 2023. Now one of Silicon Valley’s biggest venture
I don't see how they're going to convince people to buy their scooters when they're over triple the price of a Honda Metropolitan...
So when your cybertruck breaks down you can just whip out the cyberscooter to go get help.
1987 me would have loved the look of these things....
If they made a Robocop 4 movie in the 80s, Robocop would be riding one of these in the opening scene.
Lol, I can see him scooting up to the action too.
Do Millennial designers think that low polygon counts will make things faster in the real world, too?
Are they trying to make their parents’ vision of the future come true?
I don’t get it.
I like cyberpunk esthetics and all but this looks unfinished and ugly
55 MPH top speed. 60 mile city range...
$10,000.
No thanks. Even a Surron L1E has the same performance and is a third of the price, and you'll look considerably less stupid riding it. And you can do wheelies. For $10k you could buy one of those and enough upgrade parts to rice it out to the point that it'll give some medium displacement combustion bikes a run for their money.
And for the same money you could buy either a new middleweight sportbike that'll do 130+, or you could buy a few years old literbike that will easily triple the speed of this scooter.
Or, you could pay 1/5 of this price to get an e-scooter (of the stand-up variety) and get the same performance with a lower weight and smaller size.
America seems like the worst place for scooters? Most cities are built around car usage, long distances, and going fast. A scooter would be the last thing I'd ever consider since i have to do an amount of freeway driving.
