Engineered for pilots, riders, and whoever ends up fixing it.

Radio-controlled models, civil drones, personal electric machines and powerchairs. Everything here draws serious current, and everything here is built to be opened up again when it needs to be.

The range

Four things that draw serious current, and one that teaches you to fix them.

A toy, an aircraft and a road vehicle answer to three different sets of rules. They are on separate pages because pretending otherwise would be convenient for us and wrong for you.

What we build towards

Three commitments, decided before tooling.

These are intentions, not measurements. When we have numbers to stand behind, they will appear on this page with their source.

A radio-controlled chassis with its body shell lifted off and set beside it, suspension and drivetrain exposed, a screwdriver and a tray of screws alongside

Built to be repaired

The parts that wear are the parts you can replace. A machine that opens, gets fixed and closes again survives its first bad landing — and the second. Nothing is glued shut that could have been screwed together.

Control that rewards practice

Response is tuned so the first run is manageable and the hundredth is still interesting. We would rather a machine asked something of its owner than flattered them. Skill should have somewhere to go.

Transmitter, battery pack, charging lead and manual laid out in a row on a plain ground

Complete in the box

Transmitter, battery, charger, and documentation that makes sense of them. The aim is a machine that works the afternoon it arrives — without a second order and without a parts list.

What the battery is for

Two chairs, and what each one asks of its battery.

Current is what gets a chair up to pace and through soft ground without slowing down. Capacity is what lets it do the same at the end of the day as at the start. A chair asks for both, with a person in it.

Everyday powerchair

Pace.

A brisk run along a path is current held for minutes at a time. The pack has to deliver it steadily, without sagging halfway through, and still have the rest of the day left in it.

All-terrain powerchair

Ground that pushes back.

Roots, wet leaves, a track that climbs: the chair carries a person up a slope through soft ground at once. That is where current matters most — a battery either holds its pace under load or gives it up.

The same two demands run through the rest of the range: sharp peaks on the radio-controlled models and the civil drones, long steady load on the personal electric machines. The buggy in the film is legally a toy; the chairs are, in the EU, medical devices, and their page names the rules they answer to.

Hands, not slides

Whoever ends up fixing it can be you.

Soldering, repair and assembly, taught at a bench.

A soldering bench set up for one person — extraction arm, iron in its stand and a board held in a clamp — with two more identical benches out of focus behind

Soldering

You leave able to make a joint that survives a crash.

Hands touching a multimeter probe to a circuit board on a bench mat, the second lead and a parts tray beside them

Repair

You leave able to say what is wrong, and whether it is worth it.

A gloved hand bringing a screwdriver to a part-built chassis, a wiring loom, a spanner set and screws laid out alongside

Assembly

You leave able to build one and trust it in the air.

What we would teach

Nobody is buying this for a child

Toys for big kids

Some of what we make is genuinely for a fourteen-year-old. The rest is bought by adults, for adults, with a story about it being for the family that nobody in the room believes.

Have a look

The category exists because pretending otherwise was getting embarrassing.

Where we stand today

The radio-controlled models are being developed towards CE marking and EN 71 safety testing. The rest of the range answers to other rules entirely, and each category page sets out its own. We publish documentation when it exists, and not before.

That is why you will find no seals, no badges and no test results on this page. We do not hold them yet, and a mark you cannot verify is worth less than an honest sentence.

Questions

Answered without a form.

When will these be available?

The range is in development. Register your interest below and we will write to you when one of them is ready to order — not sooner, and not on a schedule.

What age are these for?

The radio-controlled models are guided at fourteen and up, and that guidance is ours. Nothing else in the range carries an age from us: for a drone, a personal electric machine or a powerchair the minimum age is set by the country you are in, and each category page says so.

Are they safe?

The radio-controlled models are being designed to the EN 71 toy safety standards and towards CE marking. EN 71 is the toy standard and it does not reach the rest of the range — a drone, a personal electric machine and a powerchair each answer to a different set of rules, named on their own page. Until that documentation exists we make no safety claim beyond the age guidance on this page.
