Challenge

Arc set out to build the Arc Vector - a 400V, carbon fibre electric motorcycle targeting the high-performance luxury segment. The customer had following requirements: 

• Unique set of performance requirements and user interface requirements: (no off-the-shelf solutions available) 

• The project demanded advanced systems integration and software development 

• Novel rider interface solutions: heads-up display, haptic jacket 

• Testing and validation

Solution

Muon has supported Arc across multiple stages of the Vector’s development - initially as the lead electric engineer and more recently as a consulting partner to the in-house engineering team. Our contributions included: 

• Detailed Design Execution: Delivered comprehensive hands-on electrical design work across the entire vehicle platform based on initial design concepts. 

• Systems Engineering: Defined the high-level system architecture - establishing how electrical and software systems would interact, what interfaces were needed, and how components would work together. 

• Prototype Development: Supported early prototyping and integration of novel rider interface features including a heads-up display and haptic feedback jacket. 

• High-Voltage & On-Road Testing: Provided high-voltage live working capabilities, test support, and real-world validation to ensure system robustness and compliance.

Impact

• End-to-End Engineering Partnership: Muon’s long-term involvement - from early concept through to production support - enabled Arc to move from visionary design to a fully realised, road-ready electric motorcycle. 

• Robust, Production-Grade Architecture: Delivered a high-voltage electrical system and control architecture that met the technical demands of a 400V powertrain and supported advanced rider features. 

• Seamless In-House Handover: Continued to provide technical consultancy and support to Arc’s internal team, ensuring smooth transition and scalability as the product matured. 

• Innovation-Driven Experience: Helped realise Arc’s ambition to redefine premium motorcycling by integrating advanced features like a heads-up display and haptic jacket into a cohesive, functional system.
