What Supersmith Limited does

Supersmith Limited is a Bristol, UK-based mobility technology company founded in summer 2018 by three partners — Tom Morgan (CEO), Emily Morgan (COO), and Dr Fred Russell-Pavier (CTO) — each with a personal connection to mobility challenges. The company develops a single hardware product, the 3Scooter: a lightweight, foldable, three-wheeled mobility scooter built around its patented EverLevel™ Stability Technology. The system uses sensors to detect rotational motion and terrain disturbances, with a microprocessor acting as the control unit that adjusts the rear wheels in real time to reduce tipping risk on uneven pavements, kerbs, and tree roots. The 3Scooter is constructed from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminium using performance-bicycle manufacturing techniques, weighs approximately 25 kg total (≈20 kg lift weight), carries up to 120 kg, achieves a 16–20 km range per charge, runs airless puncture-proof tyres, and is Class 2 compliant at 4 mph. An adjustable-height seat allows users to sit at up to ~90% of standing height for eye-level social interaction.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model via the supersmith.co e-commerce storefront, supplemented by bookable 60–90 minute test-ride experiences at its Bristol Robotics Lab (UWE) headquarters. Distribution is currently UK-only, with pre-orders opening in February 2026 and full commercial release in Spring 2026 at a £2,995 retail price, with VAT relief available to qualifying customers and free delivery plus a two-year warranty included. Target segments are mobility-aided individuals who can walk short distances but need additional support, the chronic illness and disability community (e.g., MS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), and urban/Class 2 mobility users navigating pavements and indoor spaces. Multi-channel marketing combines content, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), newsletter/waitlist programs, earned media through community ambassadors, and partnerships with regional support organisations including Design Age Institute, UKRI, Scale up For Growth, Future Space, the West of England Combined Authority Business Innovation Fund, Bristol Shopmobility, and design firm Seymour Powell.

The revenue model is presently single-stream, one-time hardware sales of the 3Scooter, with planned future accessory sales and optional finance/leasing arrangements under exploration. The company is pre-revenue at the time of the source data, has not disclosed institutional equity funding rounds, and operates with only its three founders as headcount, embedded within the BRL Hardware Incubator at the University of the West of England.
