History
Elaphe technology stems from the work of Andrej Detela, a world-class quantum physicist, who began investigating in-wheel motor solutions already back in the 1980s.
Andrej Detela and Gorazd Lampič, Elaphe founder and CEO, joined forces in 2003 and founded Elaphe three years later.
Elaphe has since invested heavily in numerous development areas, continually expanding its know-how and maturity of products.
Major areas of investment have been in the development of custom in-wheel motors, proprietary control hardware and software (Elaphe Propulsion Control Unit – PCU, controllers), with the purpose to create the technology for the ultimate mobility experience for a sustainable future.
