We ship you the fleet
Scooters arrive ready to ride and the title is yours on day one. Nothing down — you pay them off from revenue.
Now signing operators nationwide
Run the scooter business in your city
Not scooters dumped on sidewalks. A network of hotels, resorts, bars and campuses hosting your fleet on their property — no city permit, no tender, no cap. We give you the scooters and the only software built for it.

The difference
Everyone else needs the city's permission.
Everyone else needs the city's permission.
You need a hotel manager's.
Every other scooter platform is built for dockless — scooters left loose on sidewalks, fighting for one of the three or four permits a city will issue. Go X does not do dockless. Every scooter lives at a business.
Dockless — everyone else
Beg the city. Wait in line.
- You need a municipal permitCities are cutting down to three or four operators, and incumbents with permit history win those slots.
- A council vote can end youWhole markets have closed to every operator at once.
- Scooters clutter sidewalksWhich is exactly why cities keep writing tickets and cutting fleets.
- One city-wide revenue poolNobody local is invested in your success.
B2B — the Go X model
Sign businesses. Start Monday.
- No permit, no tender, no capYou negotiate with a landowner, not a council. Nobody limits how many hotels you can sign.
- Every scooter has a homeParked in designated spots on private property. Zero sidewalk clutter — that is literally the business model.
- The venue is your partnerThey earn a commission on every ride that starts on their property, so they want you there and they promote you.
- Density beats fleet sizeA scooter at a full hotel earns more than three scooters on an empty street.
The part nobody can copy
The software is the moat.
GOAT, Joyride, Bird, Lime, Levy — every one of them built software for a single free-floating fleet in a single city zone. None of them can run a network of separate business hosts, because none of them were built to. Go X's stack was built for exactly that, and it is ours.
Per-location revenue attribution
Every ride is credited to the business it started from. That is the single hardest thing to retrofit, and it is what makes a commission model possible at all.
A manager portal for every venue
Each business owner logs in and watches their own daily revenue in real time. They see the money, so they stay bought in.
Commission rates set per business
A flagship resort and a coffee shop do not get the same deal. You set terms site by site instead of one blanket city rate.
Per-site fleet allocation
Assign scooters to a location, watch utilisation per site, and move units to where they actually earn.
24/7 rider support, on us
The venue never handles a customer problem. That is the promise that makes a hotel GM say yes.
The rider base already exists
People across 15+ cities already have the Go X app. You are plugging into demand, not building it.
What you actually build
Your business is a network of local businesses.
Not a fleet on the street — a roster of 10 to 30 businesses in your city, each hosting scooters and each earning from them. Sign the anchors first and the rest follow, because every venue you add makes the network more useful to riders and easier to sell.
We already run 500+ partner locations across 15+ cities, so you are not testing a theory. Our team works your first list with you.
How fast the network builds

Why they say yes
You are not selling scooters. You are selling revenue.
It costs the business nothing, takes about ten by ten feet, and they never touch an operation. You charge, clean and restock. They collect a commission on every ride that starts on their property.
A boutique hotel on Royal Street went from turning guests away in peak season over parking to fully booked with a waiting list — because guests could explore without a car.
New OrleansA coffee shop in Marigny saw morning traffic triple once commuters worked out they could scooter in and still get coffee without hunting for a spot.
New Orleans80+ beach businesses across Siesta Key, Sarasota, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach and Clearwater. Treasure Island named Go X an approved operator rather than banning scooters.
Florida
How it works
Four steps. That's the whole business.
No warehouse empire. No app to build. No city hall. You place scooters at businesses, keep them charged, and collect on every ride.
You sign local venues
Hotels, resorts, campuses, marinas. They give you the space, you give them a cut. Our team works your first list with you.
Riders scan and go
They use the Go X app that already exists, with riders who already know the brand. Payments, rider support and the tech are on us.
You get paid weekly
Charge, clean and redeploy. We take 15% off the top — dropping to 10% as you grow. The rest is your business.
You own it
It's your business, not our contract.
You hold title to every scooter, your territory is exclusive and mapped, and every venue deal you sign is yours — we take no override on it. Your entity, your crew, your cash flow, your upside. You can sell it later.
We carry it
We handle the expensive part.
The app, payments, geofencing and telemetry. The brand and the rider base that already exists — people who have the Go X app on their phone before you open. Launch training on site, and our sales team working your venue pipeline with you until it runs.
The money
Run your own numbers.
Same model we use internally. Nothing hidden. Set your fleet size, what you think a scooter earns where you live, and what it costs you to run.

Pricing
Start small. Scale into a cheaper deal.
The bigger your fleet, the cheaper the scooters and the smaller our cut. Density is what makes a scooter route profitable, so we price you toward it.

Who we pick
If you already run vehicles, you're most of the way there.
Scooter experience isn't on the list and never has been. The operators who win already own trucks, carry commercial insurance, have somewhere to park them, and have managed seasonal crews.
- Route, delivery and logistics contractors
- Marinas, beach concessions, watercraft and jet-ski rental
- Powersports, golf-cart and LSV rental owners
- Hotels, resorts and tour operators already hosting Go X
- Car wash and self-storage owners with premises and credit
Straight answers
The questions everybody asks.
How much cash do I actually need?
Less than you'd think, because the fleet isn't the barrier — we finance it. What you fund is the launch: your entity and permits, insurance deposits, a van and tools, storage, launch marketing and a working capital reserve. Roughly $38,000 at the entry tier, up to around $256,000 at Regional.
We also look for liquidity of 30–50% of the total investment. That cushion isn't us being difficult — running out of cash is the number one reason franchise operators fail, and we'd rather turn you down than watch it.
What if I can't pay the fleet off in twelve months?
Then take the 36-month note at 8% instead. Twelve months interest-free is the headline offer and it suits operators converting an existing venue network fast. If you're building from scratch, the longer term is honestly the safer structure. We'll model both and recommend the one your cash flow supports.
Can I get a bank loan for this?
That's the goal for most operators. Our packages are deliberately sized to work with SBA 7(a) equipment lending, and the City tier is priced just under the threshold where lenders stop asking for a lien on your house. We'll introduce you to lenders who understand fleet assets — but we can't promise any of them will approve you.
What stops you selling my city to someone else?
The agreement. Your territory is defined, mapped and contractually exclusive. The last generation of scooter partner programmes offered no exclusivity at all — partners built markets and watched competitors get licensed in weeks later. We saw how that ended.
One honest caveat: riders book through the Go X app, which is national. Your exclusivity covers deployment and venue rights in your territory, not the app itself.
Who covers insurance?
You do. You carry your own commercial general liability and vehicle cover for your entity, your crew and your fleet — the same way you do for the business you run today. We publish the minimum coverage levels you have to hold, and we'll point you at brokers who have written this class of risk before, but the policy is in your name.
Build it into your numbers from day one. The calculator above assumes roughly $120 per scooter per year, which is inside the running-cost slider.
Can I sell the business later?
Yes. You hold title to the vehicles and rights to the territory, so there's a real asset to transfer — subject to us approving the buyer against the same criteria we applied to you. That's the whole point of you owning the fleet instead of leasing it.
What if the city bans scooters?
It happens — whole markets have closed to every operator at once. Two things protect you. The model is private-property led, so a change in right-of-way rules doesn't shut down a hotel forecourt. And the agreement lets you move your hardware and your exclusivity to an agreed alternative market. A council vote shouldn't be able to destroy an asset you paid for.
How much can I really make?
We won't answer that with a single number, and you should be suspicious of any franchise that does before handing you documentation. What we will do: give you the full operator workbook with every assumption exposed, show you real ride history from our live markets under our disclosure obligations, and put you on the phone with people running Go X territories today. Then you build your own forecast with your own accountant.
