Our Capabilities

Lifestyle mobility innovation. Made for real life.

Covation advances lifestyle mobility innovation through product design, materials, engineering, and manufacturing expertise. Our teams turn consumer needs into practical improvements in how products move, feel, assemble, and perform.

R&D Capabilities

Lifestyle mobility innovation built around people

Our innovation and engineering centers in Miamisburg, Ohio, and Ningbo, China, connect consumer understanding with technical development. Teams work across product design, ergonomics, materials, assembly, and manufacturing processes.
Design and Ergonomics

Developing riding positions, controls, and features around the people using them.

Materials and Structures

Exploring how material selection and frame design can support product performance.

Assembly and Usability

Making the consumer experience of setting up and using a product more approachable.

Production Engineering

Connecting product development with manufacturing methods and process improvement.

Practical Ideas. Tangible Products.

EZ Build | Simpler Assembly

A tool-less assembly system that uses pre-assembled components and snap-and-lock connections on selected bicycles.

Perfect Fit | Rider-Focused Geometry

Frame geometry designed to help riders place both feet flat on the ground while seated, when the bicycle is correctly sized and adjusted.

GRM: Grow Ride Move | Learning in Stages

A three-in-one platform that transitions from a balance bike to a training-wheel bike to a two-wheeler.

Electro-Light | Integrated Illumination

LED lighting integrated into multiple parts of selected products, bringing a distinctive illuminated appearance.

New Materials. More Design Possibilities.

Through a long-term strategic supply relationship with Allite Inc., Covation incorporates Allite Super Magnesium into selected Batch products. This structural alloy expands the materials available to our designers and engineers.

The Batch R2 Smart Road Bicycle, featuring super magnesium alloy wheelsets, received a Red Dot Design Concept Award in 2025.

Advancing Through Collaboration.

Covation works with research organizations on advanced materials and battery technologies. Collaborations include the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
