Kicks off production preparations with Aluwag and Fukuta Elec. & Mach. Co. Ltd
VANCOUVER, BC – March 12, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Damon Motors Inc. (“Damon” or the “Company”), the disruptor in high-performance two-wheel mobility, is thrilled to announce notable advancements in the commercialization and production preparations of its flagship motorcycle, the Damon HyperSport. In a strategic move to bolster the Company’s production capabilities, Damon has partnered with Swiss die casting company, Aluwag AG, to produce the motorcycle’s innovative die-cast aluminum battery case. Furthermore, Damon is collaborating with Taiwan-based manufacturer, Fukuta Elec. & Mach. Co. Ltd, to bring its revolutionary high-speed electric motor-gearbox into production.
“We’re blown away by our HyperDrive battery and powertrain performance,” says Damon’s CTO Derek Dorresteyn. “It’s a game-changer, propelling us closer to production goals.”
Damon is set to revolutionize motorcycling with a growing book of USD$88 million in reservation orders from over 3400 people. It is the only motorcycle company to feature patented transforming rider ergonomics Shift™, and offers a unique high-voltage 200hp powerplant. By developing its patented CoPilot™ AI-enhanced collision warning system, Damon is also providing new levels of safety to the industry. With more than twice the range of a typical combustion sportbike at 200 miles on a single charge and rapid-charging built in, riders can finally have it all.
The collaboration with Aluwag AG marks a pivotal step in motorcycle engineering and design. The Swiss company, known for its expertise in die casting, has received the final tool designs from Damon to produce its large, 20kWh patented assembly battery case that not only acts as a watertight enclosure for the HyperSport’s 500-volt liquid-cooled pack, but also doubles as the motorcycle’s chassis. Damon’s novel approach to integrating its pack with the chassis into a single unit significantly reduces mass, parts count, complexity and cost, setting a new standard for electric motorcycle design.
“We are honored to work with Damon, a company that shares our commitment to innovation and quality,” said René Wagner, CEO of Aluwag AG. “This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration in advancing the future of electric mobility. Our die casting expertise, combined with Damon’s visionary design, will produce a motorcycle…
