What Dashmoto does

Dashmoto, Inc. is a San Francisco-based, privately held mobility product company founded in 2017 that designs and sells premium foldable three-wheel electric scooters for personal micro-mobility. Its core products are the dash 3 (priced from $4,395), with an aluminium hub motor, 18 mph top speed and 15-mile range, and the dash 3 Williams Edition (priced from $6,295), developed in a two-year partnership with the Atlassian Williams F1 Team and featuring a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, ultra-light magnesium hub motor with regenerative braking, 20 mph top speed with cruise control, and a 25-mile range. Both models share a one-click folding mechanism, removable seat, foldable head-tube, dual hydraulic rear disc brakes, and an FAA-compliant battery that allows air travel.

The company sells exclusively direct-to-consumer through its own website (dashmoto.co), with financing options, a US nationwide test ride tour, a Riders Club Facebook community, a referral program, and email capture as supporting channels. Revenue is generated entirely from one-time hardware sales (the two scooter SKUs), accessories and replacement parts through an online store, and optional extended warranty plans. The stated customer base comprises two segments: primary urban commuters and lifestyle users seeking stylish portable transport, and a secondary segment of mobility-challenged individuals using the product for injury recovery, accessibility support, and wheelchair companionship, as evidenced by multiple first-person testimonials.

The company's go-to-market is event-anchored around its Williams F1 partnership, with trackside showcase presence planned at multiple 2026 Formula 1 Grand Prix events worldwide following the CES 2026 partnership announcement and the May 2026 US commercial launch. Founder Kim leads a small 1-10-person team with no disclosed institutional funding, and the company is presently operating only within the United States despite the international reach of its motorsport activation.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Segway-Ninebot: Dominant mass-market e-scooter and personal mobility brand. Overlaps with Dashmoto on consumer electric scooters and three-wheel personal mobility (Segway PT legacy), but operates at vastly greater scale and broader portfolio.
• Razor: Iconic consumer scooter brand with adult electric and seated product lines. Comparable consumer-micro-mobility category and US retail presence, though positioned more at entry-level price points than Dashmoto's premium tier.
• NIU Technologies: Public smart-electric two-wheeler company with a global premium e-scooter/e-moped lineup. Comparable on electric seated micro-mobility product category and premium consumer positioning, but at materially larger scale and broader distribution.

Direct peers

• Apollo Scooters: Premium consumer e-scooter brand offering high-performance models (Apollo Pro, Phantom) with regen braking, hydraulic brakes, and 25+ mile range. Directly comparable to Dashmoto's premium performance-spec positioning.
• Voro Motors: US-based premium e-scooter retailer/distributor (EMOVE, Kaabo, Vsett) focused on performance commuter scooters. Comparable premium DTC e-scooter buyer profile and performance-spec orientation.
• eFOLDi: Folding electric mobility scooter and power chair maker targeting travelers and users with limited mobility. Directly comparable on FAA/air-travel-friendly, foldable seated mobility positioning.
• Unagi Scooters: Premium direct-to-consumer e-scooter brand built around lightweight design, subscription financing, and urban-commuter positioning. Closely comparable to Dashmoto's premium DTC, design-led, high-ASP go-to-market.
• Solax Mobility: Manufacturer of foldable, travel-friendly electric mobility scooters (Maleta, Transformer, Mobie). Closely comparable on three/four-wheel folding seated mobility and FAA compliance positioning.
• MovingLife (ATTO): Maker of the ATTO folding mobility scooter — a premium, design-led, foldable seated mobility device. Closest direct competitor to Dashmoto's three-wheel seated folding form factor, especially for the mobility-assistance use case.

Others

• Bird: Shared-mobility operator rather than a direct consumer products competitor. Relevant ecosystem adjacency — Bird's churn in shared e-scooters has driven consumer purchase intent, indirectly benefiting consumer brands like Dashmoto.
