Multifunctional Folklift Armrest

Tuesday, 29 September 2026

Amo

Amo is a multifunctional armrest designed for forklift cabs. The armrest gathers control buttons within a compact zone, so the operator can perform frequent actions with small finger and wrist movements instead of large arm motions. The curved surface supports the forearm and follows the shape of the hand. A replaceable front control module can be exchanged quickly to match different driver habits, which reduces the number of armrest types needed. Amo is made from modular injection molded parts with standardized interfaces.

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.

Arion Vtol

Arion VTOL is an emergency aircraft designed to reduce delays in medical rescue. The aircraft combines vertical take-off and landing with a hybrid hydrogen-electric propulsion system, so ground traffic is avoided and patients are reached quickly. A quad-rotor layout allows landing on rooftops, parking areas and off-grid sites without a runway. The modular medical cabin uses plug-and-play interfaces and supports rescue, patient transfer, organ transport and supply missions. Onboard systems send vital data to hospitals in real time.

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.

Victra Sport EV

Victra Sport EV is a tire specially designed for electric vehicles. High-dispersion nanotechnology and a high-strength pattern design effectively reduce power consumption thus improving energy efficiency and lengthening range. The optimized pattern design and sound-absorbing foam technology filter out unwanted road and pattern noise and elevate cabin comfort. Footprint optimization technology and a special EV tread compound improve its capacity to cope with high torque and high load, which provide longer tread life.

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.
