What Nucular does
Nucular Limited, a privately held company headquartered in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, has designed electronics for light electric vehicles (LEVs) since 2014 and sells a unified control platform covering motor controllers (6F, 12F, P24F, and the upcoming X6F), an on-board computer with LCD display, a modular Battery Management System (BMS 16S/24S expandable to 144S), and a lighting controller (uLight). All components communicate over a single CAN-bus using Nucular's proprietary LEVCAN protocol, enabling interoperability with third-party devices such as the EggRider C1 color display. The flagship P24F controller delivers up to 30kW peak power at 98% efficiency, and the X6F next-generation controller entered mass production in 2025 after five years of development at a $200–$300 target price.
The company's commercial offering centers on Plug & Ride kits that bundle the P24F controller, on-board computer, vehicle-specific wiring harness, and mounting adapter for popular e-moto platforms (Sur-Ron Light Bee, Talaria Sting/XXX, Apollo RFN, E Ride Pro SS) at $800–$825 per kit, alongside standalone controllers and accessories priced from $3 to $141. Nucular sells direct to consumers worldwide through nucular.tech (shipping from Hong Kong via DHL/FedEx/UPS with all duties included) and through a dealer network spanning the USA, Canada, UK, Italy, France, Poland, and Israel. The company additionally serves OEM customers integrating Nucular electronics into proprietary EVs (HPC Bikes, JetScooter for watercraft, Havoc bike) and runs a student engineering program for university EV projects.
Nucular reports 10,000+ riders served across 70 countries, a 4.5/5 Trustpilot rating, and active R&D output of 77 firmware releases for its Bluetooth module and 25 mobile-app versions by end of 2025. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, operates with 11–50 employees, and has protected its P24F industrial design and brand in 30+ countries while progressing CE certification for the EU market. In 2025 it also entered the electric motor market with an in-house prototype motor, signaling vertical integration from electronics into powertrain hardware.
