End-to-End Cycling Technology Development.
We are a specialist R&D partner for the global cycling industry. Clients come to us with a challenge: a gap in the market, a safety problem, a performance goal, a technology they can’t source anywhere else, and we engineer the solution from first principles to finished product.
We don’t pick up parts of the problem. We take it all on: the hardware, the electronics, the software, the AI, and the IP that protects what we build. That end-to-end capability (rare in any industry, almost unheard of in cycling) is what makes Skillion the right partner for serious projects.
From Problem to Product
Understand
Every engagement starts with a deep understanding of the problem. Not the brief, the actual underlying challenge. We ask hard questions, challenge assumptions, and define what success looks like before a single component is specified.
Engineer
We design and build across the full stack: hardware, firmware, software, AI models, mechanical systems. Our team has delivered in all of these areas, often simultaneously, on the same project.
Protect
Where our work generates novel IP, we advise on and support the patent process. We’ve been through it ourselves, multiple times. Protecting what you build is part of building it properly.
Deliver
We don’t stop at prototype. We work through to production-ready outcomes: tested, documented, and built to ship.
Our Focus Areas
AI for Cycling: Primary Focus
We are among the earliest and most experienced teams applying AI to cycling technology. Our work in computer vision, threat detection, and edge-compute AI for bikes goes back to 2018, years ahead of where the industry is today. If your product needs to see, understand, or respond to the world around the rider, this is where we live.
IoT & Connected Cycling
We have built IoT systems for e-bike fleets, security and tracking modules, remote diagnostics, and real-time data platforms. We understand the constraints of deploying connected technology on a moving vehicle, and how to build systems that hold up in the real world.
Drivetrain & Mechanical Systems
Our background includes the development of a proprietary CVT drivetrain for e-bikes, engineered specifically for the demands of electric-assist cycling, with a gear range exceeding 500%. We understand what moves a bike and how to make it move better.
Safety Systems
Safety is the thread running through everything we’ve built. From the first rear camera for a bicycle in 2016 to the AI threat detection in Hawkeye, we’ve been engineering cyclist safety for a decade. That history gives us an insight into rider behaviour, road environments, and alert systems that can’t be bought or shortcut.
Fleet & Commercial Applications
We’ve built systems designed for deployment across fleets: security, tracking, management, and data. If your use case involves multiple bikes, multiple riders, or a commercial operating environment, we have directly relevant experience.
Who We Work With
Our clients are typically cycling companies, technology companies entering the cycling space, and investors or startups building cycling products. Most of our work is confidential, but our case studies give a sense of the problems we solve and the outcomes we deliver.
