Pushing the limits: Infinite Machine's Olto is barely a bicycle

Scooter layout makes pedaling a bad experience.

The short version

• The Infinite Machine Olto is a great electric scooter, one with an overall layout that echoes the classic Vespa.
• It’s comfortable, and it accelerates well, handles nicely, and has a capacious battery.
• It has a rugged design that seems capable of handling a lot of abuse, but it also comes with thoughtful touches and security features that mean you can park it anywhere with confidence.

What happened

And it provides all that at less than half the cost of its full-featured stablemate, the P1 scooter. This may technically be a bicycle, but it’s not one you’d ever want to pedal.

Why it matters

While you can set it to operate as either a Class 2 or Class 3 e-bike, it works best when the pedals are both locked in a forward position, acting as footrests.
