Enabling Cross-Continental E-bike Adventures
The Challenge
Long-distance e-bike touring remains inaccessible to many cyclists who dream of cross-continental exploration. Current solutions fall short in delivering the range, efficiency, and reliability needed for serious touring.
Our mission is to democratize adventure cycling by creating an e-bike specifically engineered for multi-day, long-distance journeys—opening new possibilities for a broader market of explorers.

High Mass
Customer Problem: Heavy bikes reduce performance and handling
Opportunity: Lightweight materials & smart structural design
Slow Charging
Customer Problem: Long downtime between riding sessions
Opportunity: High-power charging with expanded infrastructure network
Poor Aerodynamics
Customer Problem: Inefficient energy use at cruising speeds
Opportunity: Optimized rider position, frame architecture & integrated pannier design
Inadequate Comfort
Customer Problem: Fatigue limits daily touring distance
Opportunity: Advanced ergonomics, smart structures & suspension systems
Limited Tire Options

Engineering Requirements: Powertrain & Controls
Our hardware development roadmap is grounded in fundamental physics and real-world touring scenarios. We're defining specifications through rigorous modeling of rider dynamics, environmental conditions, and performance targets.
01
Target Performance Parameters
Define cruising speed ranges, optimize for varied rider mass/size profiles, and model aerodynamic characteristics across diverse use cases
02
Range Optimization
Calculate required capacity based on rolling resistance coefficient (RRc), aerodynamic drag, total system mass, and realistic charging intervals
03
Charging Architecture
Specify power requirements, evaluate charging methods, and assess network availability for touring routes
04
Core Components
Select battery chemistry, gearbox design, and powertrain materials balancing performance with cost constraints
05
Intelligent Controls
Develop algorithms for speed calibration, range optimization, and seamless regenerative braking integration
Critical Design Questions
Motor & Gearbox: Can we identify a fundamental design approach that simultaneously maximizes efficiency and comfort for this specific form factor?
Algorithm Intelligence
Smart Controls: How can predictive algorithms leverage route data, rider patterns, and environmental conditions to optimize energy management?

Disclaimer: Technical specifications will evolve through prototyping and testing phases.
Charging Ecosystem & Route Infrastructure
Long-distance touring requires more than just a capable bike—it demands a comprehensive support ecosystem. We're building an integrated platform that connects riders with charging infrastructure, accommodation options, and route planning tools.
Intelligent Route Planning
Deep integration with leading bike navigation apps, providing real-time routing optimized for charging station locations, terrain, and rider preferences
Charging Station Network
Partner with existing infrastructure providers while deploying proprietary fast-charging stations at strategic touring corridors and popular destinations
Accommodation Integration
Comprehensive database of touring-friendly lodging including campsites with charging, hotels with secure bike storage, and community hosting networks
Essential Touring Amenities
Camping facilities with secure overnight charging and bike storage
Hotel partnerships offering touring cyclist packages and amenities
Community network connecting riders with local hosts and resources
Freedom to explore with confidence through comprehensive infrastructure
Laundry services strategically located along major touring routes
Multiple charging options including portable, station-based, and accommodation-based
