What Strutt does
Strutt Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-incorporated robotics company founded in 2023 by Tony Hong, a former DJI lidar team leader. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a premium four-wheel electric personal mobility device — the ev¹/ev¹c, marketed as a 'Smart Everyday Vehicle' — that combines automotive-grade drive architecture with a proprietary multi-sensor AI perception stack called evSense. The device targets seniors, mobility-challenged individuals, post-surgery recovery patients, tech-savvy mobility consumers, and caregivers, with pricing at SGD $8,999 in Singapore and $6,999–$7,500 in US markets.
The core product integrates the evSense sensor fusion platform (2 LiDAR, 2 cameras, 10 ToF, and 6 ultrasonic sensors) and a Quad-Drive four-motor drivetrain (120 N·m peak torque, ESP/ABS, active steering, 13° slope capability) into a modular, IPX5-rated chassis that supports OTA firmware updates for features such as Co-Pilot, Co-Pilot+, Waypoints, Pathfinder, Follow Mode, and an AI voice assistant. An accessory ecosystem launched in May 2026 adds flight-safe and long-range batteries, a 324W fast charger, a caregiver-oriented Smart Push Handle, expanded storage, and ergonomic add-ons — all engineered for cross-compatibility with ev¹/ev¹c models.
Strutt runs a hybrid go-to-market combining direct Shopify-based e-commerce, an authorized dealer and roadshow network across the US, UK, EU, and Australia, an ambassador program of beta-test users, and a heavy event presence at CES, IFA, Naidex, Medtrade, Abilities Expo, and VeineDAGEN. Hardware is sourced and assembled in-house at a planned 1,000-unit-per-month Singapore facility in the Jurong Innovation District. The company has accumulated Red Dot: Luminary 2025, Red Dot: Best of the Best 2025, CES 2026 Best of Innovation, and iF Design Award 2026 distinctions, and began commercial US shipments in May 2026.
