2011: What is in Store for Cleantech?, Feb 2, 2011

Electric scooter maker with superior range and durability expanding into new markets

Cleantech company seeking capital as of February 25, 2011
Executive summary of company's business: 

Greenwit's MOTORINO is a Canadian brand of high quality electric scooters, bicycles and motorcycles (trade mark registration number TMA737780.) All models have been partially or completely designed by Greenwit Technologies. More than thirty different models of Motorino scooters and bicycles have been introduced to the North American market since 2002.

Some suppliers simply source Asian markets for bikes and motors. Greenwit says it has taken a proactive role, designing new electrical and mechanical parts from high quality materials to cope with lacklustre performance from stock parts. This six year process of feedback and redesign is evident in Greenwit Technologies’ newest models, which offer superior power, range and durability, the company claims.

The latest development to be applied to Motorino scooters is the CCT driving system. This new motor features larger and more powerful magnets in its rotor, producing better torque for the same amount of current. This leading motor and its controller were designed in Canada, but are manufactured in Taiwan to the strictest quality controls, according to the company. The drive systems are then sent to an ISO 9002 certified assembly factory where all of the company's products are assembled under the supervision of Greenwit representatives.
