The STRUTT ev¹ Electric Vehicle combines advanced sensor-guided mobility, intelligent driving assistance, and all-terrain performance in a modern personal mobility platform. Powered by the STRUTT Quad-Drive System and evSense technology, the ev¹ is designed to make everyday travel smoother, more comfortable, and easier to manage—from busy stores and narrow elevators to sidewalks, grass, and gravel paths.
Unlike a conventional mobility vehicle, the ev¹ uses a network of sensors, cameras, intelligent algorithms, and AI-powered features to build a 360-degree understanding of its surroundings. The system can identify obstacles, assist with braking and steering, create local maps, and support automated navigation within compatible environments.
Quad-Drive Performance and Active Steering
The Quad-Drive System applies automotive-inspired technology, including electronic stability and anti-lock braking principles, to distribute torque dynamically as driving conditions change. Active Steering works with the drive system to improve traction, stability, and directional control across suitable indoor and outdoor terrain.
The ev¹ reaches speeds of up to 8 mph, while four-wheel independent suspension helps absorb bumps and vibrations for a smoother ride over irregular surfaces. It can navigate suitable grass, gravel, sidewalks, and maintained paths while maintaining responsive steering and control.
For everyday thresholds and entrances, the ev¹ is designed to climb edges up to 2 inches high and cross gaps up to 4.7 inches wide under appropriate conditions. These capabilities help make door thresholds, curb transitions, and other common obstacles more manageable.
evSense 360-Degree Environmental Awareness
The evSense system uses an advanced sensor array to detect and respond dynamically to the surrounding environment. Its real-time awareness powers a range of intelligent assistance and automation features:
-
Co-Pilot Mode: Detects furniture, people, pets, and sudden edges, applying gentle braking assistance when a potential obstacle is identified.
-
Co-Pilot+ Mode: Adds steering assistance to help guide the vehicle through narrow corridors, elevators, and crowded spaces.
-
Waypoints Mode: Allows frequently visited locations to be saved as destinations. Select a saved location or use a voice command, and the ev¹ can navigate toward it within a compatible mapped environment.
-
Pathfinder Mode: Lets the user select a destination on the touchscreen map while the ev¹ calculates and follows a route through tight or challenging indoor spaces.
-
ev-Pilot Mode: Expands remote and automated functionality, including following the user, carrying items, repositioning, and being summoned when conditions allow.
