The Island Boys Almost Got Their Ass Beat in Hawaii (But Go X Scooters Saved Them)
This is the Wildest Testimonial We've Ever Received
You know those customer stories you put on your website? "Sarah from accounting loves her morning scooter commute!" or "Brad saves 20 minutes getting to the beach!"
Yeah, this isn't one of those.
This is the story of how two Florida rappers with ramen noodle hair almost became a Hawaiian crime statistic, but instead became Go X's most unexpected brand ambassadors.
What Happens When Florida Energy Meets Hawaiian Energy
The Island Boys rolled up to Waikiki thinking they were about to have a chill vacation. Maybe make some TikToks. Hit the beach. Flex a little.
The locals had other plans.
We don't know exactly what was said. We don't know who started it. All we know is that at some point, the Island Boys realized they were about to experience Hawaiian hospitality's lesser-known cousin: Hawaiian "hospitality" 👊
The vibe shift was IMMEDIATE. One moment they're walking around Waikiki, the next moment they're googling "can you swim from Hawaii to Florida?"
The Most Clutch Product Placement in History
By pure luck (or divine intervention from the scooter gods), there were Go X Scooters RIGHT THERE.
Not because we planned it. Not because we're following the Island Boys around hoping for viral content (though honestly, not a bad marketing strategy). But because we literally have 90+ locations all over Waikiki.
The Island Boys went from "we're about to be on WorldStar" to "we're about to be on our way outta here" in about 3 seconds flat.
One beep of the app and they were GONE. Just two streaks of bleached hair flying down Kalakaua Avenue at our max speed of 25 mph, chains flapping in the wind like flags of surrender.
Our New Slogan: "Go X Scooters: When You Need to Go... X-tremely Fast"
Look, we've marketed ourselves a lot of ways:
- "Eco-friendly transportation"
- "The future of micro-mobility"
- "Your partner in urban transportation"
But apparently what we should have been saying is: "Go X: Your Emergency Evacuation Vehicle When Shit Gets Real"
The Reviews Are In
Island Boys: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "10/10 would escape on again. Scooters work great. Very fast. Locals couldn't catch us. Only complaint is the scooters don't go to the airport."
Hawaiian Locals: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great service. The haoles left quickly. Mahalo Go X."
Waikiki Police Department: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "No paperwork needed. Appreciate it."

The Takeaway
Sometimes you download Go X for a fun beach cruise. Sometimes you download it to save on Uber. And sometimes, apparently, you download it because you're about to become a cautionary tale about respecting local culture.
Either way, we got you.
Download Go X. Because you never know when you'll need to get the hell out of somewhere.
P.S. - Island Boys, you're banned from leaving 1-star Yelp reviews in Hawaii now. You know why.
P.P.S. - To everyone else: Please be respectful when visiting Hawaii. The locals are lovely people until you give them a reason not to be. The Island Boys found that line. Don't be like the Island Boys.
