It wasn’t too long ago that electric scooters were mostly treated as novelty items—quirky, convenient, and just fast enough to keep up with a brisk jog. Designed with quick commutes and hops, they were great for students or quick city errands, but hardly something you’d take seriously as a main mode of transport. But in just a few short years, that perception has flipped.
Today’s electric scooters are smarter, faster, and far more versatile, blurring the line between urban runabout and legit motorcycle. And the latest machine making waves in this space? It’s called the Omo X.
Unveiled recently in Jakarta by China-based startup Omoway, the Omo X didn’t just sit on a display stand—it actually drove itself onto the stage in full autonomous mode. It’s a bold statement from a brand that, until now, flew under the radar. But Omoway is no lightweight. Founded in 2024 by He Tao, one of the original co-founders of Chinese EV juggernaut Xpeng Motors, Omoway brings deep EV and tech experience to the table.
