ABOUT US

Over the past 15 years we have worked hard to become an extended engineering team for our clients. We are tasked with supporting or enhancing our clients core engineering team. Our clients look to us to bring a fresh innovative, grounded perspective to help solve tough engineering problems. We enjoy the tough, hard-fought solutions where the end result helps our clients stay ahead of the competition.

We have become embedded in Personal Light Electric Vehicle design and development. We have done ground up PLEV designs and worked with customers such as D-Fly on their Dragonfly hyperscooter. Additionally, due to our many years of design experience for bicycles, we have recently helped clients switch over to e-bikes and e-cargo bikes. Over the past year we have continued to gain clients in this arena.

We also built upon our strong roots in the powersports market to handle the entire design and development of the TQ390 by Torque-Off Road. It is currently in production and development of new models is ongoing.

Paul Hammerstrom

PRINCIPAL

My “real” design engineering career started after a stint at Pratt & Whitney. I spent some time at Pratt & Whitney doing thermodynamic and fluid dynamic analysis on jet engines and jet engine test cells. After working for Pratt and Whitney I took a job working for one of my childhood heroes Horst Leitner.
