We are incredibly honoured to announce that Bang has been awarded a prestigious Graphite Pencil at the D&AD Awards for our work with Seb Inglis-Jones and Will Stirrup, the visionary founders of Maeving, on the design and development of the Maeving RM1 Electric Motorbike.

Award Category: IMPACT This category celebrates the profound impact that exceptional design can have on our world.  

Will and Seb approached us with the goal of creating an electric motorbike that would attract new riders and promote urban transportation solutions, ultimately helping to reduce air pollution in cities. Remarkably, 60% of Maeving’s recent sales are from first-time bike riders, showcasing the success of this initiative.

The D&AD Awards are internationally recognized, celebrating the world's best commercial creativity in design, advertising, craft and production. We also extend our congratulations to Aizome-Ultra, Shellmet, and Runner 321 for adidas for winning the White Pencil.

A heartfelt thank you to Seb and Will for trusting us to bring their vision to life, and to our dedicated teams at Bang and Maeving for their hard work and commitment back in 2020, which has now culminated in the launch of a successful business.

At Bang, we remain committed to working on projects that deliver positive impacts for people and the planet. This award aligns with our B Corp mission, and we aspire to have future projects recognized with a White Pencil.

Here's to more innovative and impactful designs ahead!
