Meet Kim Ng: The Visionary Behind dashmoto® Scooters

Mobility isn’t just about moving. It’s about reclaiming independence, dignity, and joy. For Kim Ng, the founder of dashmoto®, this truth became personal after a life-altering spinal cord injury.

Rather than settle for uninspiring mobility aids, he envisioned something entirely new: a sleek, high-performance electric mobility scooter that wouldn’t just improve mobility, but elevate lives.

Here’s what you need to know about Kim Ng’s story of creating the dash 3:

Resilience meets vision

Kim’s journey began on a motorcycle. The freedom of open roads and the thrill of speed were a core part of his identity. But a motorcycle accident changed everything.

After suffering severe spinal trauma, Kim faced a difficult reality: limited mobility, grueling rehabilitation, and an uncertain future. He was told he may never walk again, but that didn’t stop him from creating a path forward for himself and those in his position.

Kim’s recovery was marked by resilience. Months of therapy helped him regain some mobility, but he quickly noticed a glaring issue in the world of mobility aids. Existing devices often felt clunky and impersonal, solutions that simply met a need, rather than inspiring confidence or joy.

"I realized that the products on the market weren’t designed to empower people. They didn’t reflect the independence or pride I wanted to feel. That’s when I knew I had to create something different," Kim explains.

From that determination, the idea for dashmoto® was born. Kim envisioned a scooter that would combine sleek aesthetics with high performance, something as exhilarating as his motorcycle had been, but built for the practical challenges of daily life.

The birth of the dash 3

Kim didn’t approach this journey alone. He collaborated with engineers and designers, blending technical expertise with his firsthand understanding of what mobility truly means. Every prototype of the dash 3 was a labor of love, tested and refined by Kim himself.

“Every detail mattered,” Kim says. “The seat needed to feel like an extension of your body. The frame had to be lightweight yet strong. And the performance—it had to feel alive.”

The result was the dash 3: a portable electric scooter with a carbon fiber frame, powerful 500-watt motor, and a top speed of 18 mph. It’s not just functional. It’s thrilling.

Redefining mobility

The dash 3 isn’t about limitations, it’s about possibilities. With its foldable design and compact size, it fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles, whether you’re commuting through the city or navigating an airport. Its lightweight frame makes it easy to carry, while advanced safety features like dual hydraulic brakes and the hill hold feature ensure peace of mind.

For Kim, though, the most important feature is the emotional impact. “When you ride the dash 3, you feel free,” he says. “It’s not just about getting around; it’s about experiencing life on your own terms. It’s a new sense of dignified mobility I hadn’t found in any other device.”

Building dignity into design

Kim’s mission wasn’t just to create a scooter, it was to change the way people view mobility aids. Too often, these devices carry a stigma, making users feel self-conscious. With the dash 3, Kim sought to flip that narrative. He wanted to make it more about the device than the disability.

“When I first started designing the dash 3, I wanted it to feel like an extension of you, not a tool you have to ‘use.’ I wanted to design something that makes people feel proud. Something that restores dignity. Mobility devices often come with a stigma. I wanted to change that,” says Kim.

From its sleek, Italian-inspired aesthetics to its ergonomic seat and intuitive controls, the dash 3 is a testament to that vision. It’s a scooter that doesn’t compromise on style, performance, or the sense of empowerment it delivers.

A revolution in mobility

Kim Ng’s story is one of transformation, not just his own but for everyone who rides the dash 3. His journey from motorcycle enthusiast to mobility innovator is a powerful reminder that adversity can spark change and innovation.

His creation, the dash 3, is redefining what’s possible in the world of portable scooters, giving users the freedom to explore, connect, and thrive. It’s a symbol of resilience, independence, and the belief that mobility should elevate your life, not limit it.
