OUR HISTORY
"When I'm asked if we sell scooters, I often say no. Because we actually sell emotions." Sascha Arndt, Founder of Elite X
The IO Hawk brand is now exclusively distributed by Nextnel GmbH. All IO Hawk models are designed at our Krefeld facility and are subject to ongoing development and improvement by our team of designers and engineers. We are a young, forward-thinking company, and customer satisfaction is a key cornerstone of our business philosophy. We want to make a difference, and we love all forms of alternative transportation related to electric mobility. – 2015 – Initially intended exclusively for the logistics industry, the line „Look what your boy just got, brand new, this is called the IO Hawk” sent all of Hollywood into a frenzy, and overnight, the IO HAWK ONE hoverboard—which had just been unveiled and cost 1,500 euros—became a coveted item among countless stars. In 2017, IO Hawk introduced the Hawk Cross, the world’s first off-road hoverboard, and in May 2018, it unveiled the first hoverskates to the global public. As part of the legalization of electric mobility in Germany, the brand became the first manufacturer in the retail sector to receive the General Operating Permit from the Federal Motor Transport Authority on June 21, 2019, for our Sparrow e-scooter model, and just five days later, on June 26, 2019, the „GO” for the Exit-Cross model, the only legal off-road e-scooter in Germany. Under the leadership of Nextnel GmbH, our journey continues as we develop high-tech electric mobility in the luxury segment. As one of the few manufacturers in Europe, we operate our own production line in Krefeld, where individual models are refined and equipped with „Made in Germany“ components. International operations, development, customer service, marketing, and sales are managed from our Krefeld location. With our headquarters, warehouse, logistics center, numerous partners, and branches in Asia, we are at the cutting edge, internationally connected, and broadly positioned.
International activities, development, customer service, marketing, and sales are managed from our Krefeld, Germany location (near Düsseldorf). Our proximity to the Port of Rotterdam (Netherlands) generally allows for same-day container delivery after customs clearance. Our team is regularly on-site at our branches in Asia. As a premium manufacturer, we are capable of making changes to the scooter at any time in Germany, thanks to our own production line. With our team, we are in tune with the times, internationally networked, and broadly positioned.
