10 years of cycling R&D. One team. End-to-end.
Timeline

Ten Years in the Making.

Every product we’ve built, every problem we’ve solved, every patent we’ve filed has been pointing in the same direction. Here’s how we got here.

2014

We built our first fat-tyre electric bike in Sydney, one of the earliest in Australia. It wasn’t just about making a better bike. It was the beginning of understanding what riders actually needed, and what technology could do for them.

2015

The Skillion Drive

We developed the Skillion Drive, a proprietary CVT drivetrain engineered from the ground up for e-bikes. With a gear range exceeding 500% and a focus on simplicity and low manufacturing cost, it addressed a genuine gap in the market, and established our credentials as a serious hardware engineering team.

2016

First Rear Camera for Bicycles

We built and deployed the first rear camera system for bicycles. Riders could see what was behind them for the first time. It was a simple idea with complex engineering behind it, and it set us on the path to everything that followed.

2017

Skillion Ride System

The Skillion Ride System (SRS) launched with a commercial e-bike fleet in Australia. An integrated platform combining navigation, performance tracking, safety alerts, and AI-assisted rider support, the SRS was one of the earliest real-world smart ride deployments at scale.

2018

AI Camera Patents

We secured patents for AI-powered camera systems for bicycles, among the first of their kind in the world. This was the moment cycling technology and artificial intelligence formally intersected in our work, and the foundation on which Hawkeye is built.

2019

IoT System for E-Bikes

We launched a compact IoT platform for e-bikes integrating camera, real-time data, remote diagnostics, and security. Deployed commercially, it demonstrated that connected intelligence on a bicycle was not just possible, it was practical and scalable.

2024

Hawkeye Edge-Compute Prototype

We completed the Hawkeye edge-compute prototype, the most sophisticated cycling safety system we’ve ever built. Running full AI threat classification on-device, without cloud dependency, at detection ranges up to 220 metres. The technology works. Now we’re bringing it to market.

2025

Hawkeye: Coming Soon

Hawkeye is our most ambitious product yet, and the clearest expression of what Skillion has been building toward. AI-powered. Cyclist-focused. Coming soon. Follow the journey at hawkeye.bike.
