At Intradrive, we build e-bike tech for those who crave adventure, because we do too.
We're a team of mountain bikers, hikers, climbers, and surfers who spend their free time on the trails, in the hills, chasing the next adventure.
Founded by engineers with a passion for all things bike, our team benefits from first-hand experience of racing enduro and downhill, daily cycle commuting, and transporting heavy loads (and a dog!) by cargo bike.
We understand the needs of cyclists and share their frustrations with fragile, unreliable, and unrepairable technology.
Mechanical engineer, lifelong mountain biker and environmentalist with 15 years in the wind turbine, automotive and electronics industries. After breaking and repairing derailleur drivetrains one too many times, Mark founded Intradrive to build a drive system that lasts.
Engineer, cyclist and project manager with experience in electronics development for the automotive sector. Track record of taking early stage technology into series production.
Engineer and cyclist, with 15 years experience in R&D and NPI within the wind, wave energy and energy storage sectors.
Passionate cyclist, surfer, van lifer and bicycle frame fabricator. Joined Intradrive on an internship while studying Design Engineering at Imperial College London.

Product designer and mechanical engineer with experience at Dyson, in aerospace and defence, and building bespoke MTB frames. Passionate mountain biker and e-bike enthusiast since the early 90s."
After ten years of rigorous development, the GD8 gearbox powertrain is here: a proprietary high-performance motor, robust precision-engineered gearbox, and integrated electronics, all designed for repairability and longevity.
Niche Vehicle Network grant awarded to develop a "Transaxle" for a quadracycle cargo bike in collaboration with EAV.
Scottish Energy Green Jobs grant awarded.
Industrialisation process begins.
Crowdcube equity crowdfunding campaign as part of £0.5m seed round.
3rd major revision of the GD8, testing and development of pre-production prototypes, with feedback from bike brands.
Electromagnetic optimisation of proprietary motor design.
Team expanded, design for manufacture finalised, and supply chain secured after an extensive search. Significant investment made in production tooling with grant funding support from Scottish Enterprise.
Vertical integration progresses with the procurement of a state-of-the-art automated winding machine, enabling in-house motor winding.
Eight Letters of Intent signed with partner bike brands.
Tooling manufactured for the high-pressure die-cast case, injection-moulded custom connectors, splines and gears.
First production run, Q4.
At Intradrive, we're transforming the future of e-bikes with durable, repairable powertrain technology. Fragile derailleur drivetrains and unrepairable motors have limited product lifespans for too long. Riders demand better, and we deliver.
With production tooling complete and our first production run in Q4 2026, we're partnering with leading bike brands to redefine e-bike technology for the long haul.
