Overview: Italian Startup Reimagines Electric Scooters with Cloud-First Product Development
TO.TEM, a spin-off from PUNCH Turin, quickly launched its first product—Lynx®, a three-wheeled electric kick scooter—using SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE® Works. The Italian team streamlined development, ensured safety with simulation, and collaborated remotely across borders—all while maintaining a “Made in Italy” identity and rapid market entry.
The Challenge: Launch a New Brand in a Fast-Moving Industry
Rapid Development Needs – The Lynx scooter had to go from concept to market quickly
Distributed Team – Main design engineer was located outside of Italy
Multiple Partners – Needed to coordinate with external manufacturers
Safety Standards – Product had to meet stringent performance expectations
The Solution: Integrated Cloud Tools for Fast, Safe Design
TO.TEM adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works for Startups Program and implemented:
- 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Premium
- SOLIDWORKS Simulation Designer
- Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS
- Collaborative Industry Innovator
- 3DSwymer Roles
This suite enabled real-time collaboration, design refinement, and fast feedback cycles—reducing development friction and enabling a seamless workflow across geography and disciplines.
Key Benefits:
Shorter Design Cycles – Reduced time to market for Lynx scooter
Remote Collaboration – Connected engineers and partners globally
Enhanced Product Safety – Simulation validated structural and functional performance
Easy Talent Integration – SOLIDWORKS skills already common among new hires
Simplified Operations – Unified platform improved communication and project oversight
Use Case Highlights:
Next-Gen E-Scooter Design – The three-wheeled Lynx combines performance and stability
Remote Engineering Enabled – Work continued seamlessly across countries
Simulation for Safety – Ensured reliability and compliance pre-manufacturing
Streamlined Product Development – Design + communication tools in one place
Italian Innovation at Scale – Blended engineering excellence with local identity
Conclusion: E-Mobility Designed for Speed and Safety
TO.TEM used 3DEXPERIENCE Works and SOLIDWORKS to quickly deliver a high-quality e-mobility product, improve internal efficiency, and maintain consistent collaboration across its distributed team. The result is a standout electric scooter that reflects Italian design and global engineering innovation.
