We've had eyes on Infinite Machine, the New York City-based electric mobility manufacturer, for a couple of years now. Unsatisfied with the design of regular scooters and e-bikes, the founders of Infinite Machine set out to revolutionize how we travel in an urban environment, not necessarily through groundbreaking technology, but through design. Now, they're taking on Europe.
“At Infinite Machine, we believe the best way to get around cities is with vehicles that are smaller and smarter — and we drew some of our earliest inspiration from Italian design,” said Joseph Cohen, CEO of Infinite Machine. “With the arrival of P1 and Olto, we are excited to serve European customers with an exhilarating riding experience, delivering the best in design, performance, and technology.”
The expansion will include other key international markets alongside Europe through direct-to-consumer channels and select dealerships beginning in 2026. At the time of writing, Infinite Machine only offers two models: the Olto and P1.
The Olto is a compact, weatherproof electric L1e moped designed for city life and daily commuting with a 60 km range, hot-swappable slide-in battery, and top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). Olto’s design has been modified to include footboards, turn signals, and all other EU-compliance requirements. Basically, it's a class-3 e-bike but, clearly, without any pedals.
It was recently recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the Best Inventions of 2025. At EICMA, Infinite Machine will debut the L1e-certified version of Olto, tailored for European streets and regulations, priced at €2995. The flagship of the two models is the P1, which is a high-end electric scooter. Crafted from stainless-steel panels, boasting a top speed of 105 km/h (65 mph), a 6 kW motor (12 kW peak) and 100 km (62 miles) of city range, but its price in Europe is still TBD.
The P1 won't bowl anyone over with its specs, as well as its price in the US, which is just $799 shy of a new Yamaha MT-09. But the P1 and MT-09 are intended for completely different markets and some folks, possibly those looking to swap four wheels for two, are sure to fall for its sleek design; Let us know if you're one of them.
