A sleek, lightweight vehicle is gaining traction across cities, airports, and sidewalks — and it’s not a bike or an e-scooter. The dash 3, a compact electric seated scooter by San Francisco-based company dashmoto®, is turning heads for how effortlessly it fits into daily routines. Combining performance, portability, and premium design, this emerging category of personal transport is built to enhance not just how we get around, but how we live.
Designed with both freedom and functionality in mind, the dash 3 is finding fans among a wide range of users. It appeals to lifestyle commuters looking for stylish alternatives to cars and crowded transit, and it's also resonating with those managing mobility challenges who still want to lead active, spontaneous lives.
At just 42 pounds total, with a foldable head tube and removable seat, the dash 3 easily fits into the trunk of a car or a closet. But don’t mistake its portability for compromise. This vehicle moves with power, grace, and the kind of agility that transforms a routine commute into something closer to a joyride. It makes every movement more efficient, and honestly, fun.
Performance built for the real world
At its core, the dash 3 is engineered for versatility. Whether navigating tight corners in an apartment lobby or surging ahead on a bike lane, the scooter’s precision comes from thoughtful design details.
Its rigid, single-piece carbon fiber frame offers superb strength without bulk. Negative camber in the wheels and a powerful 500-watt motor deliver a ride that hugs corners and powers up inclines, while dual hydraulic brakes provide consistent control. The dash 3 includes an electronic hill hold, making it especially reliable on steep terrain like the hills of San Francisco.
The top speed of 18 mph and range of up to 25 miles on a single charge (with the long-range battery) mean this scooter is more than just a short-hop solution. It's built for everyday use — fast enough to keep pace with cyclists, precise enough to maneuver through a crowded farmer’s market, and stable enough for airport terminals.
A seated ride that feels personal and powerful
Where the dash 3 stands out is in its seated design. Unlike standing e-scooters or electric bikes that can be physically demanding, the dash 3 offers a relaxed, supported position ideal for longer rides or for people who need extra balance. The designer seat is molded from high-density polyurethane foam with a fiberglass backing, offering ergonomic support without sacrificing style.
For individuals who may have previously felt left out of the fast-moving world of urban mobility — whether due to injury, age, or chronic conditions — the dash 3 offers something revolutionary: independence that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
Designed for the city but made for everywhere
One of the most compelling aspects of the dash 3 is how seamlessly it integrates into everyday environments. It’s just as useful for the last mile between your office and train as it is for a weekend art fair or a casual ride through a park.
Its compact frame, intuitive controls, and ultra-tight 2.5-foot turning radius make it comfortable to use in indoor settings like malls, airports, or even grocery stores. Three drive modes and a reverse gear give users control without complexity, while the bright LED lights and LCD panel make for a clear, safe ride even in low visibility.
The standard battery is FAA-approved and carry-on ready, making this one of the few high-performance electric scooters that’s truly airport-friendly. You can ride the dash 3 right up to the door of the airplane, and it’ll be there waiting for you when you de-board.
More than a product it’s a lifestyle
The rise of personal mobility solutions is more than just a trend — it reflects a broader shift in how people value their time, their autonomy, and their experiences. The dash 3 isn’t about replacing walking or driving. It’s about giving people another option, one that’s fast, stylish, and surprisingly joyful to ride.
From software developers seeking smoother city commutes, to active older adults wanting to explore new places without limits, the dash 3 is showing that mobility can be more than just practical — it can be empowering.
A glimpse into the future of mobility
As cities continue to evolve, the way we move through them must evolve too. The dash 3 is a response to that shift, blending technology, design, and empathy into a form of transportation that fits modern life.
What sets this vehicle apart isn’t just its carbon fiber frame or its top speed. It’s how it makes people feel, in control, comfortable, and connected to the world around them. It lets them ride indoors and outdoors, at speeds that fit their lifestyle at every turn.
It’s not just about going somewhere. It’s about how you get there.
