What WATT car industries Ltd does

WATT car industries Ltd is an Israeli pre-revenue startup, founded in late 2018 and headquartered in Tel Aviv-yafo, that is developing a two-seater electric urban vehicle whose passenger compartment is integrated inside a 2-meter monowheel. The core architecture combines a large primary wheel with two independently steerable smaller side wheels that reposition hydraulically or electrically — front for braking, rear for acceleration, and aligned with the contact patch for parking — enabling the vehicle to swivel on the spot, lean into curves via a servo-controlled tilt, and fit into a 1-meter-wide parking footprint. Supporting subsystems include the patented Safe Cabin System (auto-launching passenger seat, fold-down 2-meter bed, cabin tilt for entry/exit), a 4-Way Charging System (main-wheel regen, AC outlet, haul-vehicle charging, and inter-WATT electro-sharing), a joystick-driven operating system with ECO and Sport modes, and a 360° helmet-free enclosed canopy.

The company's product portfolio is conceptualized around a single vehicle platform targeting urban commuters who face parking and congestion constraints, couples seeking a hybrid motorcycle-car leisure experience, and eco-conscious consumers open to multi-WATT carpooling and onboard train recharging. Specified performance targets of approximately 450 kg weight, 120 km/h top speed, and 200 km range are aspirational rather than validated, as the company has only produced a basic car proof-of-concept skeleton and a small remote-control model. The intellectual property portfolio comprises two granted Israeli patents (monowheel system and safe cabin system) with parallel PCT and Chinese applications pending.

WATT's business model is not yet defined. There is no disclosed pricing, no distribution channel, no announced customers, no institutional funding, and no commercial launch timeline. The three-person founding team (CEO Ran Quantz, inventor Dr. Amos Cahan, Design Director Dori Regev) is operating with a multilingual marketing website in eight languages but without any visible go-to-market infrastructure, making WATT an early-stage R&D venture whose monetization pathway remains entirely unspecified.
