Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based electric vehicle startup, is making waves with its high-concept urban mobility designs - but whether it can deliver on its promises remains to be seen. At EICMA 2025 in Milan, the company unveiled its European debut with two vehicles: the flagship P1 electric scooter and the compact Olto moped. Both are visually striking, tech-forward, and aimed squarely at city riders.

U.S. Roots, European Focus

Founded in New York, Infinite Machine has positioned itself as a design-first EV brand with global ambitions. Despite its American origins, the company is prioritizing European distribution, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026 via select dealers. CEO Joseph Cohen cited Italian design as an early influence, and the company’s presence at EICMA underscores its intent to court European riders, regulators, and distributors.

The Vehicles: P1 and Olto

• P1: A stainless-steel electric scooter with a top speed of 105 km/h, 100 km of city range, and a 6 kW motor (12 kW peak). It’s designed for performance and presence, with a brutalist aesthetic that’s drawn comparisons to the Cybertruck.
• Olto: A weatherproof L1e-class moped with a 60 km range, 45 km/h top speed, and hot-swappable battery. It’s priced at €2995 and tailored for EU compliance.

TIME Magazine named Olto one of the Best Inventions of 2025, while Electrek praised its "automotive-grade features" in a recent review. P1 has been described as "radical" and "fun to ride" by outlets like Tom’s Guide and Futurride.

Management & Funding

Infinite Machine was co-founded by Joseph Cohen, Eddie Cohen, and Zach (last name not publicly listed). It raised a $9.3M seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with backing from Nico Rosberg and several tech founders. The company’s pitch: to build the most captivating non-car vehicles for urban mobility.

Production & Delivery

Here’s where things get murky. While prototypes have been demoed and press coverage is real, Infinite Machine has not disclosed its manufacturing partners or production facilities. No customer deliveries have been confirmed, and the 2026 timeline remains aspirational.

Verdict: Not Vaporware, But Not Proven

Infinite Machine is not vaporware—it has working prototypes, real funding, and credible press. But it’s still in the pre-operational phase, with no confirmed deliveries or production transparency. For now, it’s a high-design promise with European ambitions and a lot riding on its ability to scale.
