Damon Evolves I/O Platform with Advanced Machine Learning for Adaptive Rider Performance

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ - Damon Inc. (OTCID: DMNIF) ("Damon" or the "Company"), a designer and developer of electric motorcycles and other personal mobility products that seek to empower the personal mobility sector through innovation, announced the next phase in the evolution of its Damon I/O platform with the introduction of an advanced machine learning module developed by Damon to be the cornerstone of its forthcoming Hypersport Race (HSR), a high-performance electric motorcycle model developed to demonstrate the Company's technology . This enhancement enables dynamic performance tuning based on rider behavior, vehicle data, and environmental inputs, delivering on the Damon's vision to transform personal mobility through smart, AI-connected experiences. 

Building on the Damon I/O platform launched in June 2025, Hypersport Race (HSR) is entering its prototype development phase in September 2025. For track riders, the system analyzes lap-by-lap performance, including cornering speed, braking patterns, and throttle control, to provide actionable, intuitive feedback. The goal is to help riders become safer, faster, and more efficient.

Unlike complex track analysis tools built for engineers, Damon I/O translates sophisticated data into a rider-friendly format, highlighting clear performance gains and safety improvements without requiring technical expertise.

"For the first time, track riders will have the sophistication of a race engineering team, distilled into insights they can understand and act on instantly," said Dominique Kwong, CEO of Damon.

The system operates on a continuous feedback loop. Every ride generates new data, which is processed both on the motorcycle (edge learning) and in the cloud. This dual approach allows the system's intelligence to evolve in real-time. The more a rider contributes, the smarter Damon I/O becomes, delivering deeper, personalized insights that enhance performance and safety. 

This rider-focused feature also showcases the power of Damon I/O for the broader market. As stated in the company's Q3 fiscal commentary, Damon has diversified its business model beyond being solely a motorcycle development company to become a leader in intelligent data solutions for the personal mobility sector. This new machine learning module is a tangible example of the high-margin, data-driven services the Damon I/O platform can provide to other personal mobility OEMs and fleet operators. 

"Your motorcycle will now evolve as fast as your skills do, and every ride makes it better," added Kwong. "This is the future we are building: a fusion of high-performance hardware and intelligent software that not only enhances the experience for our own riders but also provides the digital backbone for the entire personal mobility industry."
