Dear Wefunders,
Electric vehicles sparked the conversation, but roads remain congested, infrastructure stays heavy and costly, and efficiency gains are plateauing. SurfacePlan™ changes that at the most fundamental level: the wheel itself.
Our intelligent, actuated wheel delivers thrust directly at the road or rail. By integrating propulsion into the wheel through precision actuators, SurfacePlan eliminates conventional engines, drivetrains, and axles, enabling vehicle architectures that are 60–80% lighter at the system level, more energy-efficient, and simpler by design.
We’re extending this breakthrough to ultra-light, dual-mode vehicles that operate seamlessly on conventional roads and on a recessed guide-rail system: a slim, low-cost strip that provides guidance, stability, and optional in-route charging. This on/off-rail model could transform mobility for cities and small towns, efficient guided corridors for longer trips combined with free movement on local streets all with dramatically reduced infrastructure needs compared to traditional EVs or light rail.
Global curiosity is already strong. Coverage from KRON4, Golem.de, and New Atlas has driven thousands of visitors to SurfacePlan.com, with interest spanning more than 20 nations.
I’ve filed seven provisional patents covering the SurfacePlan™ architecture. As an inventor and entrepreneur, I’ve built and commercialized products internationally, partnered with companies such as 3M and major retailers, and guided ideas from early sketches through manufacturing and market launch. I know what it takes to execute.
Your support will fund the proof-of-concept wheel and our first guided-rail demonstration, unlocking technical validation and partnerships with transportation engineers, manufacturers, and city planners. Participation starts at just $100 for those ready to help shape lighter, greener, and more flexible mobility.
Let’s reinvent not just the wheel but how movement itself is designed.
David Henson
Founder, SurfacePlan™
