ST5

ST5 is an electric scooter designed for urban commuting. The frame is made of automotive grade carbon steel, joined by precision sheet metal work and concealed connectors. A four stage suspension system, adapted from automotive damper arms, absorbs shocks on rough roads. Safety is supported by front and rear disc brakes, an electronic braking system, traction control and auto sensing headlights. A 3.5 inch display is integrated with the handlebars, and Bluetooth proximity sensing allows keyless unlocking. The black and gold finish reflects sports aesthetics.

XT5

XT5 is an electric scooter designed for both city streets and off-road use. The body is built with high-strength automotive-grade carbon steel, with alloy reinforcement in impact zones. Two 2200 watt motors provide all-wheel drive, a top speed of 45 kilometres per hour and a range of up to 110 kilometres. Front and rear rocker spring shock absorbers and 12-inch all-terrain tyres support stability on rough ground. A triple brake system, widened footrests and a 5-inch colour dashboard aid safe and comfortable riding.

Enduro2

Enduro 2 was born from the idea of combining MTB and Enduro motorcycle in a single product. Its design is made up of a combination of shapes that embody its roots: an agile and light frame in exposed carbon fiber is inserted into a CNC-engineered Ergal engine, derived from motorcycling. The union of the two materials has synergistically merged into a new innovative form. The front of the bike seeks a sinuous and soft line, which integrates the electrical components inside, while the rear recalls technicality and strength.

Dark Knight

Dark Knight is a smart mattress designed for adaptive sleep support. The mattress has a seven layer structure with a pressure sensing pad that holds 240 flexible sensors. The sensors measure pressure from different body parts, and an airbag layer adjusts support for each body type and sleeping position. An integrated electric bed frame allows separate adjustment of the head and foot sections, with a memory function for preferred positions. An NFC chip on the side opens the control interface on a smartphone. The cover fabric is elastic and wrinkle resistant.

Mosey

Mosey is a spring mattress designed for home use. Handles on both sides allow one person to move the mattress easily. The cool-feel fabric is breathable and helps regulate sleep temperature. A zoned spring system with reinforced edges reduces sagging at the perimeter, while the firmness of the central springs can be adjusted to suit different preferences. The mattress is vacuum compressed and rolled for shipping, which reduces transport volume. Once unpacked, the mattress expands to a flat state within six hours.

Third Pole

Third Pole is a four piece bedding set designed for the bedroom. The set is made with silk yarn dyed jacquard weaving, and the natural luster of the silk recalls light on glaciers. The patterns draw on the glaciers and highland steeds of the Tibetan Plateau. Two versions are offered, Ice Blue and Lava Gold, each creating a different mood. A unified three in one weaving construction shows the main pattern fully on 1.8 metre and 2 metre beds. The silk surface regulates warmth and feels smooth on the skin.
