A new era of personal mobility is dawning as a Chinese company has unveiled a self-driving electric scooty that requires no rider. The company, Omoway, a fresh face in the electric two-wheeler space, recently demonstrated its AI-powered scooter, the Omo X, which is designed to be a “multi-form” vehicle for urban commuters.
The Omo X made its public debut by driving itself onto a stage in Jakarta, Indonesia, using a sophisticated “Halo Pilot” system. This autonomous technology, previously reserved for cars, includes adaptive cruise control, remote summoning, self-parking, and even automatic reversing and self-balancing at low speeds. The vehicle’s AI-driven system uses vision-based 360-degree obstacle detection and can autonomously navigate to a charging station.
Founded by former executives from the Chinese EV manufacturer XPeng, Omoway’s vision for the Omo X is to offer an intelligent mobility solution that is not only self-driving but also customizable. The bike can be configured into three modes—Scooter, Street, and GT—allowing it to adapt to different riding needs, from daily commutes to long-distance trips.
According to a representative from the company, the Omo X is the first electric scooter to be equipped with this level of full-stack automated driving assistance. The company promises automotive-grade data security and over-the-air updates, ensuring the scooter’s capabilities can evolve over time. While the prototype has been shown to great success, Omoway has indicated that the Omo X will be launched in early 2026, with a projected price of around €3,500.
The development is a clear sign of China’s rapid advancement in autonomous technology, moving beyond cars to redefine the future of two-wheeled transport and offering a glimpse into a world where personal vehicles could seamlessly integrate into a smarter urban environment.
