The first patented invention is an automatic balance control called Safe8\u2122. The technology uses smart, intelligent suspension and real time management to control the balance of clean but narrow and unstable vehicles like electric bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles to make them much safer. The second patented invention is the multi-award winning OVER8\u2122 emission reduction system that reduces fuel consumption by over 8%. The system is probably the most affordable fuel saving technology that has not been introduced into mass production yet and it has many other advantages like reduced engine wear, improved power and torque, longer oil change intervals and faster cabin warm up.\u00a0
In class action cases related to emissions, product liability and vehicle safety defects we provide expert witness reports for vehicle manufacturers and plaintiff law firms in several continents.<\/p>\n
