22Motors Acquires Patent For Hill Assist Feature

22Motors has obtained a worldwide patent for its invention of the hill assist control feature, a first in two-wheelers globally. A perfect example of intelligent engineering, the patent was filed on 7th February 2019 and was granted on 9th May 2019. 

22Motors has further fortified its riding experience for their consumers with this achievement. The special feature will provide riders with a composed all-terrain journey while also eliminating any possibility of accidents when on the inclined ground. On a gradient, hill-assist control automatically engages and stops the two-wheeler from rolling backward and gives the rider a few seconds to accelerate forward. This system also prevents the vehicle from rolling backward during bumper-to-bumper traffic, a feature useful in the urban areas.

Mr. Parveen Kharb, CEO and Co-founder – 22Motors said, “We often underestimate the dangers of riding uphill and while most four-wheelers are complete with safety features like hill start assist, we firmly believe that everyone has an equal right to safety. We felt the need to engineer similar technology for two-wheelers and we are thrilled that our commitment to deliver the best to our consumers has been recognized in the form of this patent. At 22Motors, rider safety is integral to our business and our products speak for our philosophy. This invention is yet another step in our journey to make premium products that are futuristic, powerful and practical.”
