About
Enduo Industry developed by New Motion Labs, started out on founder Marcel Fowler’s cycling trip in 2015 when he broke his chain halfway up a mountain. He had a long time to ponder about why the roller chain was still a problem and had not seen any significant improvement since the early 1500s when Leonardo da Vinci created sketches of the first ever roller chain.
Upon his return he found that 60% of all power transferred by the chain acts on only 1 moving point of pressure on 1 tooth at any one time, grinding down the tooth and chain leading to high wear and premature chain failure.
He thought is there a way we can use more teeth or stop this movement, this is where Enduo was first formulated at the Mechanical Engineering Department at University College London.
New Motion Labs was established in 2017 when Josh Palmer and Lucas Lobmeyer joined the team and alongside Marcel spent the next four years developing Enduo, which has become the worlds biggest breakthrough in sprocket technology in over a century.
The company commercialised in 2021 launching their flagship product Enduo Mobility and following huge commercial success is now expanding into the industrial sector with Enduo Industry and continuing to offer its clients huge benefits by extending roller chain lifetime by over 3.5X, reducing machine downtime and unplanned maintenance, and increasing productivity.
Our Mission
Our world needs to make changes to secure the world for future generations. To support this transition, New Motion Labs develops and the licenses revolutionary key components enabling not only rapid adoption by existing manufacturers but the large and quick impact we need to secure the world for future generations.
Enduo, our first technology not only saves significant money on downtime but it also has a significant carbon saving for our clients.
“Creating tech that revolutionises key components has far greater impact than creating new end-consumer products.”
