2026: The Year of the Fire Horse 🐎🔥
And We're Just Getting Started.
2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse—a once-every-60-years phenomenon in the Chinese zodiac. Fire Horses are known for their unstoppable energy, fierce independence, and ability to blaze trails where none existed before.
Sound familiar?
At Go X, we've spent the last few years doing exactly that: defying the odds, outmaneuvering giants, and building something nobody thought was possible. While the rest of our industry burned through billions and collapsed into bankruptcy, we didn't just survive.
We thrived.
And 2026?
THIS OUR F'ING YEAR!
The Receipts: What We've Built
Let's talk about what happens when a scrappy team with a seed round takes on an industry of billion-dollar failures.
🏆 Fast Company's Most Innovative Company Award
We didn't just compete. We won. Go X was recognized as one of Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies—a testament to what's possible when you build with purpose instead of burning cash.
🤖 First to Launch Self-Driving Scooters
While others were still figuring out how to keep their scooters charged, we were pioneering autonomous micro-mobility. Go X became the first company to deploy self-driving scooters, pushing the entire industry forward.
🐉 Meet the Dragon: Our First Electric Car
We told you we dream bigger. Introducing the Go X Dragon—a two-seater electric "pocket rocket" that's turning heads and breaking rules on city streets.
This isn't some glorified golf cart. The Dragon is a proper EV that darts through traffic like its mythical namesake soaring through clouds. It fits in parking spots other cars can only dream about, charges from a regular outlet (no expensive installation needed), and proves that saving the planet can be ridiculously fun.
A scooter company launching an electric car? That's Fire Horse energy.
💪 7 Acquisitions. One Dominant Player.
Remember Bird? Link? Helbiz? Bolt? They raised billions. They're gone.
We acquired seven companies in our space—businesses that collectively raised over $150 million:
- Blue Duck ✓
- Bolt ✓
- Gotcha ✓
- Sherpa Scooters ✓
- And more...
Go X is the only company in micro-mobility history to execute a roll-up strategy of this magnitude. We didn't just outlast the competition—we absorbed them.
🥇 America's #1 B2B Micro-Mobility Company
We built something different. While competitors fought over city permits and consumer rentals, we created the largest B2B scooter network in the United States:
- 350+ business partners in the Go X network
- Hotels, resorts, apartment complexes, and entertainment venues
- A model that actually works
🌴 Dominating America's Most Competitive Markets
We didn't launch in easy markets. We launched in the toughest ones—and we won:
- Honolulu – The only 24/7 scooter operator in Hawaii
- Las Vegas – Where micro-mobility meets the Strip
- Daytona Beach – Biketoberfest, bike weeks, and beyond
- Clearwater – Florida's Gulf Coast, covered
These aren't just pins on a map. These are proof that our model works in the most demanding environments in the country.
The Scoreboard: Go X vs. The Giants
| Company | Raised | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Bird | $1.5 billion | Bankrupt |
| Link | $300 million | Bankrupt (acquired by Go X) |
| Helbiz | $200 million | Bankrupt |
| Bolt | $100 million | Bankrupt (acquired by Go X) |
| Skip | $125 million | Bankrupt |
| Wheels | $100 million | Bankrupt |
| Go X | Seed Round | Profitable. Expanding. Winning. |

The Fire Horse Mentality
The Fire Horse doesn't follow the herd. It charges ahead, creating new paths through sheer will and determination.
That's been Go X from day one:
When everyone said micro-mobility was dead, we kept building.
When billion-dollar competitors collapsed, we acquired their assets.
When the path forward wasn't clear, we forged our own.
Our 24/7/365 warehouse in Florida never stops. Our team once drove 39 hours straight from Florida to California to meet a Hawaii deadline. We've operated through hurricanes, economic downturns, and industry-wide extinction events.
This is what commitment looks like.
What's Next: The Road Ahead
2026 is about acceleration.
New Markets. We're expanding beyond our current footprint with launches in preparation across Florida's Space Coast and beyond.
New Technology. Our self-driving capabilities are just the beginning. The future of micro-mobility is autonomous, and Go X is leading the charge.
New Milestones. 1.5 million miles traveled in Hawaii alone—that's circling Earth 60 times. We're just getting started.
The Bottom Line
2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse.
It's a year for breakthroughs. For personal growth. For embracing challenges—personally and professionally.
We're ready. Are you?
At Go X, we've never been more excited about what's ahead. We've proven that you don't need billions to build something revolutionary. You need vision, grit, and a team that refuses to quit.
To our investors, partners, and everyone who's been on this journey with us: thank you for believing in the Fire Horse.
Let's ride. 🐎🔥
