This project addresses two common problems within the e-scooter industry; rider safety and product lifespan. This project will accelerate the development of the new UK made SwiftyGO e-scooter that is optimised for superior rider safety. The design and engineering of SwiftyGO guarantees a long product lifespan by way of premium build quality and enabling fix and repair within both the frame design and battery design. These factors offer significant benefits in terms of Net Zero at vehicle level, at consumer level, and for the e-scooter industry as a whole.

Having proved the concept of a lightweight high performance zero emission Ariel Nomad using a highly optimised powertrain through the successful completion of the ‘ZELV2’ Proof of Concept study, this project aims to advance the battery technology and vehicle control systems previously developed and optimise the manufacturing methods towards a state of pre-production readiness in preparation for exploitation to the low volume niche vehicle market. Ariel Electric Limited and Rockfort Engineering Limited will now partner with BAMD Composites to develop a lightweight aerodynamic body that improves vehicle efficiency while reducing environmental impact over the vehicle’s whole lifecycle.

CALLUM are leading a consortium with Nyobolt and Codem Composites to deliver a lightweight, rapid charge, HV electric ATV with a view of creating a product that not only equals but betters the performance attributes of the ICE dominated ATVs on the market.
The project will build on the sub-pack battery and composite space frame chassis to prove out the whole vehicle, developing the battery, chassis, sustainable composite body and EV Powertrain.

Maeving is the UK's first electric motorcycle company. Their first motorcycle, the RM1, launched in April 2022 and is now the number one selling electric motorcycle in the UK. Maeving are developing a new, higher energy density removable battery with improved thermal performance to accelerate their growth and launch their international expansion. The project will move their battery production from a Far Eastern to a UK based supplier, Alexander Technologies, supporting their ambition to make Britain a leading manufacturer of electric motorcycles.
