Radiate and UASolutions Partnership Announcement

We’re pleased to announce a new partnership between UASolutions and Radiate Engineering & Design AG. By combining Radiate’s expertise in structural engineering, prototyping, testing and manufacturing with UASolutions’ deep knowledge of drone regulations and operational requirements, we aim to provide comprehensive support for companies developing advanced drone technologies.

This collaboration is designed to help drone manufacturers meet regulatory and technical challenges with confidence. Together, we offer a unique blend of capabilities – from early-stage engineering to flight authorisation – ensuring a streamlined path to compliance and innovation.

One of the key focuses of our partnership is supporting manufacturers aiming to certify their drones under EASA’s Special Condition Light-UAS for medium risk operations in SAIL IV. Subparts C & D of this framework cover Structures and Design, with detailed Means of Compliance published in EUROCAE ED-325 Vol. 1.

With Radiate and UASolutions working together, drone companies now have an experienced team to guide them through these demanding requirements.

The Digital Bike Lab

Digital Bike Lab featured by CADFEM!

How bike complexity pushed Radiate Engineering & Design to automate the structural analysis workflows. The Digital Bike Lab is a way to combine simulation expertise with deep bike industry know-how.
It automates structural analysis of bicycle frames—making validation faster, more consistent, and ready for series development.

A big step forward for smarter product engineering in cycling.

New project for Inverto Earth

Radiate Engineering & Design has a new project with our long-standing partner Inverto Earth!

This time, we’re providing them with payload buckets for their drone system that will be implemented in the UAE.

Inverto Earth leverages AI and robotics to restore ecosystems with habitat-specific strategies.

We’re proud to contribute to this innovative approach to global reforestation with precise manufacturing.

Case study by Siemens Digital Industries Software

At Radiate Engineering & Design, we push the boundaries of innovation in e-bike development. In a recent case study by Siemens Digital Industries Software, we showcase how our collaboration with Scott led to the creation of a lightweight, high-performance wheelset. Using Simcenter simulation tools, we reduced development time and optimized performance — all while cutting physical prototyping costs.

The full article, including a video on the project and our approach, is now available on Siemens’ official platform.

Welcome Simon Aldebert, our new Program Manager

We’re excited to welcome Simon Aldebert as our new Program Manager for our Bike Division!

With his industry expertise and network, he enhances our capabilities in development, manufacturing, industrialization and consulting.

As a trusted partner for E-Bike and component development, our projects include Syncros “Silverton SL” wheels and Revolt’s “Opium” speed pedelecs.

With Simon on board, we offer even more targeted support for OEMs and innovators.

Welcome Monika, our new Administrative Assistant

We’re thrilled to have Monika join Radiate Engineering & Design as our new Administrative Assistant! With her organizational talent and keen eye for detail, she will play a key role in keeping our operations smooth and efficient.

As an engineering consultancy, we thrive on innovation and technical excellence—but none of it would be possible without a strong backbone in administration. Monika’s expertise will help us stay on top of things as we continue pushing boundaries in product development.

Welcome aboard, Monika!

Form Follows Function – Engineering-based View of Product Strategies and E-Bike Trends

In a dynamically developing bicycle industry, new bicycle categories are constantly emerging. But what is driving these developments? Recently, Radiate Engineering & Design presented an engineering-based look at the strategies behind the specialization and diversification of e-bikes and their product development at the Infotech 2025 event in Nottwil. Our analysis highlights trends and highlights the interaction between stakeholders: OEMs, dealers and end customers.

 

Wheel test winner: Syncros Capital SL Aero

Carbon and aero wheels: the upgrade dream of many roadies, but what’s left after all the marketing promises?

We are thrilled to see the Syncros Capital SL Aero wheelset (that we developed together with Scott Sports SA) being recognized in Gran Fondo Cycling’s review of the best road bike aero wheels!

They pitted eleven of the most exciting and popular models against each other in the wind tunnel as well as in the riding test.

As a result, the Capital SL Aero emerged as the wheel test winner!

In their words: “With a first-class ride feel and a balanced ratio of compliance and stiffness combined with the best aero performance in the test field, the Syncros Capital SL Aero are rightly the deserved test winner in our big wheel test.”

A big thank you to Gran Fondo Cycling for the feature and the test.
