OUR STORY
The team at Outsider is a group of friends and colleagues who have spent years individually designing and engineering innovative and creative products within the electric and non-electric bicycle world, motorcycle aftermarket, electric action sports industry, and even NASA’s 2020 Mars mission. Having worked together on and off over the last decade or so, fate finally brought us together in Portland Oregon.
Outsider grew out of our love for vehicles and a hopeful vision for the future. We focus on developing innovative electric transportation solutions that fit your life, helping you move towards a better and more sustainable tomorrow. We like cars as much as most Americans, but our experiences and travels have taught us that the car is not always the right tool for the job. We saw an opportunity to provide alternative smaller local vehicles that help breath new life back into our communities by decongesting traffic, keeping our air cleaner and building more connected communities.
OUR MISSION
At Outsider Mobility, we design right-sized personal transportation solutions that empower people to explore their communities with greater freedom and sustainability. Our vehicles are crafted to meet the everyday needs of modern life while inspiring adventure and reducing reliance on cars. By prioritizing functionality, utility, and environmental stewardship, we create vehicles that bring joy, convenience, and meaningful impact to riders and their communities.
OUR VISION
We envision a future where car-light communities thrive, empowered by innovative transportation solutions that redefine mobility. At Outsider, we aspire to lead the movement toward cleaner air, reduced traffic, and more vibrant neighborhoods. Through sustainable design and a commitment to adventure-ready utility, we aim to foster independence, self-expression, and a deeper connection to the places we call home.
