SCALE Advanced Biocomposites

Founded in 2020 by 20-year cycling and sporting goods industry veteran, Lance Johnson, in the heart of the French Alps, Grenoble. SCALE Advanced Biocomposites creates bio-based materials that make carbon fibre composites even better. Its materials unlock the full potential of carbon fibre, enabling bicycle manufacturers to improve performance while reducing both material costs and greenhouse emissions.

SCALE Advance bio-based materials also significantly improve stiffness-to-weight and vibration damping performance, providing the perfect complement to carbon fibre. Their low-density materials also improve impact resistance and durability in brittle carbon structures by increasing wall thickness for a given weight.

SCALE’s patent-pending BIO|Power and BIO|Control materials directly address the trade-off between stiffness/efficiency and comfort which has been exacerbated by ever-increasing performance demands throughout the industry – from aero to enduro.

Luna Systems

Founded in Dublin in 2020, Luna Systems is a computer vision specialist focused on mobility safety. In the shared scooter market, its solutions tackle sidewalk riding, collisions and disorderly parking, enabling operators to communicate with riders about specific events and providing data-led insights on infrastructural challenges. In the consumer two-wheeler market, Luna Systems is partnered with Qualcomm for the delivery of ARAS and rider safety behavioural analysis solutions. 

Concerning cycling safety, Luna provides rear vehicle proximity alert solutions to the B2B cycling market and will launch its first DTC product, Luna Oculus, in June 2024. This solution comprises a rear-facing bike camera and connected smartphone application, providing cyclists with real-time warnings for dangerous overtakes and automatic recording of incidents. Luna Oculus maps each proximity event, empowering cyclists to plan safer routes, as well as giving the option to share their blackspot data with other Oculus users and city planners.
