Dust Moto’s team achieved full-system control and seamless communication between the battery, inverter, and motorcycle interface in just eight weeks.

 

When designing its compact, high-torque, electric motorcycle, Dust Moto encountered several technical and strategic challenges. Existing inverter solutions in the market were prone to failures, lacked reliability, scalability, or required extensive customization. Turntide’s high-performance Gen 6 Inverter offered the reliability, proven track record, peak performance, and flexibility that Dust Moto needed to meet its demanding performance requirements.

“Finding the right inverter technology to meet the demanding performance requirements for our motorcycle was no small feat, but critical to our customer mission,” said Colin Godby, CEO, Dust Moto. “Turntide’s inverter ticked the right boxes and the company’s collaborative engineering helped us achieve rapid integration success.”  

Working closely together, the engineering teams from both companies ensured motor compatibility, seamless integration, and optimized performance and efficiency. Dust Moto became the first partner to independently develop and implement a customized inverter integration using Turntide’s user code, which allows OEMs to create tailored control logic in C language. Using this capability, Dust Moto’s team achieved full-system control and seamless communication between the battery, inverter, and motorcycle interface in just eight weeks.

“Dust Moto and other companies that are pushing the limits of what is possible in electrical performance need partners who can keep pace,” said Steve Hornyak, CEO, Turntide. “Turntide’s ability to rapidly iterate and integrate advanced powertrain solutions demonstrates how we are meeting the challenging performance demands of electric and hybrid markets and complex needs of the commercial OEM market.”
