Strutt Day Marks a Milestone in Personal Mobility
Strutt recently hosted Strutt Day, an exclusive technology showcase that provided media and key partners with an early glimpse of the company's smart personal vehicle, the STRUTT ev¹. This event was strategically timed to provide insight into Strutt's innovations just ahead of its highly anticipated CES 2026 unveiling.
The Vision Behind Strutt
Strutt Day was not only about displaying cutting-edge technology but also about presenting the inspiring vision behind the brand. Attendees had the chance to engage with Tony Hong, Founder & CEO, who passionately shared the narrative behind Strutt's formation. His mission centers on crafting personal mobility solutions that prioritize safety, usability, and a human touch. Furthermore, Barney Mason, Head of Design, articulated the company's design ethos dubbed "Quiet Empowerment," which centers on creating technology that seamlessly integrates into everyday life to foster independence and confidence.
A Glimpse of Innovation
"We established Strutt because we recognized a significant disconnect between technological advancements and the daily challenges individuals encounter," remarked Tony Hong. The ev¹ is not just another vehicle; it embodies the essence of empathy-driven technology that is set to change lives.
Experience the STRUTT ev¹
The highlight of the day was the hands-on experience with the STRUTT ev¹, where attendees witnessed firsthand its impressive capabilities. The vehicle is built around two remarkable innovations designed for personal mobility:
evSense System
This advanced system incorporates a 360° range of sensing technologies, including LiDAR and cameras, designed for navigational safety and efficiency.
Quad-Drive System
This four-wheel active drive architecture promotes smooth transitions, whether indoors or outdoors, and is tailored for various environments, ensuring users can traverse different terrains comfortably.
Participants engaged in real-world scenarios that highlighted the ev¹'s ability to address pressing challenges such as accessibility and ease of use. Every aspect of its design has been fine-tuned based on extensive user research, from seat adjustments to the intuitive joystick interface, all crafted to support the user's dignity and independence.
As Barney Mason noted, "We have invested years into understanding the experiences of users with mobility challenges. Our designs are informed by what people truly need, rather than just focusing on technology for the sake of innovation." The event also celebrated significant industry recognition for the ev¹, which has already won accolades such as the prestigious 2025 Red Dot: Luminary award for design excellence and the esteemed 2026 CES Best of Innovation award in the Vehicle Technology and Advanced Mobility category.

The Strutt Day event showcased the company’s commitment to blending robotics with human-centric design, addressing real-world problems through technological solutions. This milestone further highlights Strutt's emerging influence within the mobility industry while paving the way for a grand showcase at CES 2026.
"Personal mobility transcends mere transportation; it embodies self-confidence and joy," reflected Tony Hong. He expressed hope that Strutt Day would offer attendees a sneak peek into the future of personal mobility that is set to be officially introduced at CES 2026.
