Infinite Machine Launches the Robust Olto E-Bike for the Bike Lane

New York-based Infinite Machine’s newest release, the Olto, is a formidable new player in the world of e-bikes – designed specifically for the bike lane, but bold enough to challenge the everyday car. With its angular, automotive-inspired frame, hot-swappable battery, and enough power to reach over 30 mph, Olto is built for the demands of modern mobility.

It’s said that the best way to experience a place is behind the handlebars of a bike. Riding at a bike’s speed allows you to engage with your surroundings in a more sensory way – taking in all the sights, sounds, smells, and atmospheric qualities all around. But as more cities push cars out and open up protected bike lanes, new types of vehicles are emerging to match the moment.

Olto answers that call. With room for two, a sharp silhouette, and a UL-certified slide-in battery that provides 40 miles of range, it’s a highly considered response to changing urban infrastructure. Olto features a 750W rear hub motor that runs nearly silent, with a dual-suspension frame to smooth out potholes and uneven roads. And while it looks monolithic and sculptural, it rides intuitively and comfortably – whether you’re weaving through the city or coasting on a country road.

This isn’t your average e-bike. Built from weatherproof extruded aluminum, Olto is meant to live outside. It has folding pedals that magnetically lock in or out depending on whether you want to pedal or rely on the throttle. The seat accommodates two passengers with hidden footpegs and grab handles for the rear rider, and integrated lights and turn signals offer visibility in any condition.

Like any product released today worth its muster from a circularity standpoint, the e-bike is made up of modular parts. These elements can be easily swapped-out and replaced if necessary. This also allows for a level of customization. Add-ons include everything from a child carrier and rear basket to a central control panel.

With any bike, electric or other, theft-protection is key. Olto is paired with Infinite Machine’s Infinite Security suite, a GPS-connected system managed through the Infinite Machine app. You can lock and unlock the e-bike with your phone, track its movements, and even monitor ride stats and battery life. There’s also a built-in slot for an Apple AirTag for an additional level of security.

On top of that, the sheer weight of Olto ensures that it’s immovable when parked. If someone, other than its main operator, attempts to activate it, an alarm sounds. The steering and wheels lock automatically when parked, making theft feel like a near-impossibility.

Very little detail has been left to chance in this comprehensive, game-changing mode of transportation. Poorly powered and maintained CitiBikes will soon fall out of favor.

Olto is available to order now for $3,495 with shipping beginning Fall 2025. For more information, visit infinitemachine.com.
