Insights

Product Development Strategist

Successful digital validation and clay model completion push Damon into physical prototype production; public Engineering Test Vehicle expected in November.

The company completed Engineering Concept Validation and moved from simulations to building the initial prototype chassis, including FEA, CFD, vehicle dynamics studies, and preliminary powertrain bench testing, and it followed a $30 million Reg A+ offering.

These facts show progress along the typical product-development pathway: validated designs reduce technical unknowns, and a clay master model supports manufacturability and user-fit decisions. Key dependencies remain the prototype assembly, integrated system testing, and public debut timing; failures in integration or test results would limit near-term commercial prospects.

Watch the public Engineering Test Vehicle debut in November and subsequent test outcomes and timelines for production readiness as the next measurable milestones within the coming months.

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Damon Inc. (DMNIF) ("Damon" or the "Company"), a designer and developer of electric motorcycles and other personal mobility products that seek to empower the personal mobility sector through innovation, today announced it has successfully completed the Engineering Concept Validation phase for its HyperSport Race ("HSR"). This milestone marks the company's official transition from digital simulations to tangible prototype development, bringing its innovative vehicle closer to testing and production readiness.

The comprehensive validation phase included several key engineering activities for HSR. The team conducted advanced vehicle dynamics studies to ensure the final product will deliver strong performance and handling. To confirm structural integrity and aerodynamic efficiency, the vehicle's design underwent rigorous Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) testing. The successful completion of these digital tests have paved the way for physical manufacturing, with the construction of the initial prototype chassis and preliminary bench testing of the powertrain system now complete. The start of prototype production is officially underway.

"The transition from digital simulation to a physical prototype of HSR represents a critical step for Damon," said Dominique Kwong, CEO of Damon. "It's the moment where our vision truly begins to take shape. The successful validation of our engineering concepts and the finalization of the clay model demonstrate that we are on track to deliver a vehicle that is not only technologically advanced but also attuned to the user's experience. We believe we are not just building a machine; we are crafting the future of mobility."

Following the completion of the Engineering Concept Validation phase, the company is now focused on the assembly and integration of its Engineering Test Vehicle, which it currently expects to debut publicly in November. This event will offer the first comprehensive look at the vehicle's integrated systems and innovative performance capabilities.
