The Difference Between Speculating and Investing
Let's talk about what separates a good investment from a gamble.
When you buy a stock, you're essentially betting that more people will want to buy that stock after you. The company might be losing money. The product might be unproven. You're speculating on future sentiment.
When you invest in a Go X scooter through Medici, you're buying a cash-flowing asset backed by a network of 350+ business partners who have already committed to driving demand.
That's not speculation. That's investing in proven infrastructure.
The Partner Network: Your Built-In Customer Base
Here's something most people don't understand about Go X: the scooters aren't random. They're not dumped on sidewalks like Bird and Lime did (which is why those companies burned through hundreds of millions fighting with cities).
Every Go X scooter is stationed at a partner location that has agreed to:
- Host the scooters on their property
- Promote scooter access to their customers
- Share in the revenue from rides
When a hotel concierge says "The best way to explore the area is to grab a Go X out front," that's not advertising. That's a partner actively driving revenue to your investment.
The Numbers Across Four States
Let's break down the partner network by region:
Hawaii: 90+ Partners
- Luxury resorts (Alohilani, Hilton Hawaiian Village area properties)
- Tourist hotspots (International Market Place, Waikiki Beach Walk)
- Local favorites (Kono's Kapahulu, Waikiki Brewing Company)
- 4 years of operation, 1.5M+ miles proven
Florida: 80+ Partners
- Beach communities (Siesta Key, Clearwater, St. Pete Beach)
- Treasure Island (city specifically named Go X as approved operator)
- Madeira Beach, Sarasota, and expanding
Louisiana: 40+ Partners (in 30 days)
- French Quarter hotels and restaurants
- Garden District locations
- Fastest city launch in Go X history
Nevada: Growing Network
- Las Vegas Strip area hotels
- Howard Johnson, Nirvana Hotel, Vegas Slingshot Rentals
- The entertainment capital of the world
Each partner represents committed demand infrastructure. They're not hoping people show up. They're actively driving customers to scooters.
Why Beach Communities Matter
When Treasure Island, Florida updated their micromobility regulations in 2023, they didn't ban scooters. They didn't restrict them to oblivion.
They specifically named Go X as one of the approved operators.
Not because Go X paid them. Not because of lobbying. Because Go X had proven itself as a responsible partner that enhances beach communities instead of cluttering them.
This regulatory moat is worth more than any marketing budget. When cities trust you, you can operate. When cities don't trust you, you're one council meeting away from losing everything.
Your investment in Go X scooters is protected by this trust—built over years, validated by local governments, and impossible for competitors to replicate quickly.
The Compounding Effect of Partnerships
Here's something most investors miss: partner networks compound.
When Waikiki Brewing Company became an early Go X partner, guests started using scooters. Those guests posted on social media. Nearby businesses noticed. The International Market Place signed on. Then Alohilani resort. Then 90+ locations across Oahu.
In New Orleans, this compounding happened even faster—40+ locations in 30 days.
Why? Because success is visible. When a hotel across the street sees another hotel's guests happily scooting away, they want in. When a restaurant notices their competitor offering scooter access, they call Go X.
As the network grows, your investment benefits from:
- More locations = more visibility = more rides
- More partners = more validation = easier expansion
- More data = better placement = higher utilization
What Partners Get (And Why They Stay)
Go X partnerships aren't one-sided. Here's what businesses receive:
✅ Revenue share from every ride originating at their location
✅ A premium amenity that differentiates them from competitors
✅ Zero cost—Go X handles all maintenance and operations
✅ Happy customers who can explore beyond walking distance
✅ Good PR from supporting sustainable transportation
This creates sticky relationships. Once a hotel sees the benefits—guests raving about scooter rides, no complaints from city officials, revenue checks arriving monthly—they don't switch to a competitor.
350+ partners didn't happen by accident. Each one represents a business owner who decided Go X was worth their trust and their reputation.
Demand You Can Track
One of the most powerful things about investing through Medici is visibility.
Traditional investments are opaque. You give money to a fund, they do... something... and hopefully you get returns.
With Medici, you can see:
- Which scooter you own a piece of
- Where it's located
- How many rides it's generating
- Real-time income accumulation
The 350+ partner network isn't just a marketing number. It's infrastructure that creates trackable, verifiable demand for your specific asset.
Why This Beats Traditional "Passive Income"
Most passive income strategies have a fatal flaw:
Rental properties: Require massive upfront capital, deal with tenants, handle maintenance nightmares, navigate local regulations. "Passive" is a lie.
Dividend stocks: You're at the mercy of board decisions, market sentiment, and economic cycles you can't control.
REITs: Better, but still subject to real estate cycles and management decisions made far from your oversight.
Go X scooters through Medici:
- $10 minimum investment
- No operational headaches (Go X handles everything)
- Demand driven by 350+ committed partners
- Real-time tracking of your specific asset
- Utilization data from 4+ years of operation
The partner network is what makes this truly passive. You're not hoping someone stumbles onto your rental listing. You're investing in assets surrounded by businesses actively driving customers to them.
The Network Keeps Growing
Go X isn't done. The company that built the #1 position in four states on a seed round is expanding.
New cities. New partners. New scooters.
As the network grows, Medici will list more assets for you to invest in. The same proven model. The same partnership infrastructure. The same operational excellence.
Your first investment gets you started. As you see the returns, you can diversify across locations, across scooters, across the entire network.
Join the Network
When you invest through Medici, you're not buying a lottery ticket. You're buying into a system that has been built, tested, and proven across 350+ partnerships over four years.
The next time a tourist at the International Market Place decides a scooter is more fun than walking, your investment earns.
The next time a couple at a Florida beach hotel grabs a Go X to watch the sunset from the pier, your investment earns.
