Omoway Omo X Chinese Self-Driving "Multi-Form" Bike Debuts in Indonesia

Omoway, a Chinese smart mobility startup founded by a team of top executives who broke away from XPeng, has shown off its first product, a self-driving “multi-form” bike called Omo X. The scooter drove itself onto the stage at its unveiling in Jakarta, Indonesia, this week. It will be launched across multiple South-east Asian markets in early 2026, targeting urban commuters. 

Multi-form refers to the bike’s ability to be configured into three modes: Scooter, Street, and GT. Scooter mode is meant for everyday use and urban commutes, with a distinct yet practical overall profile. Street mode is sportier, thanks to a “middle box” modular expansion unit which adds more storage space. GT Mode requires the middle box and a tail box, which doubles as a backrest and makes the Omo X look more like a cruiser bike, It also allows riders to pack even more for long trips.  

The ultra-modern-looking Omo X prototype shown off at the event is described by its designers as an “interstellar battleship”. With sharp angles and distinct lines, the body is meant to look aggressive yet functional and sporty. It has an animated “Saberlight” headlight, inspired by fictional lightsabers. A floating seat cushion and wide rear wheel with a “unique swingarm structure” give it an imposing stance even when seen from the rear. 

Omoway has also introduced its Halo smart architecture which includes Halo Link for smartphone and cloud connectivity, as well as Halo Pilot, described as the world’s first automated driving assistance and remote control feature for bikes. Halo allows for keyless unlocking and easy sharing among trusted friends and family, and the company promises automotive-grade data security plus over-the-air updates. 

Halo Pilot includes autonomous balancing and posture control, vision-based 360-degree obstacle detection and environmental awareness, rear collision risk warning, assisted braking alerts, adaptive cruise control, self-parking and one-touch summoning, and automatic wireless charging alignment. Of course, the company says it has used AI extensively to enable many of these features, though it reserves the right to change the Omo X’s specifications and capabilities before launch. 

No details about pricing or specific target markets beyond Indonesia have been announced yet.
