BERYLLINE BREEZE PRODUCTION BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2021!

Breeze Production

While the world is suffering from Covid Pandemic, we worked even harder. The impact put us 6 months behind schedule, but we pushed forward! The first production Breeze was built and delivered to Beth in Minneapolis on October 16, 2021. We listened to our shareholders, putting every penny towards to Breeze production instead of advertising! We are glad we did that because we believe action is more words! The first batch of Breeze will be available now through our dealers in Michigan and Florida. But we need your help and support more than ever: please spread the words for Berylline, you are our advertising and together we will win!

“GOD I just want to cry. Actually I did for hours last night... Let me explain - I broke my ankle so badly in 2017 they almost had to amputate my foot and I still have not fully healed from it. As a result my balance has been very compromised, therapy has reached its limits to help me and I might not ever be fully back to normal... I now truly believe the Berylline Breeze is the bike I should own. HOW DO I GET ONE???”

Beth

First Happy Breeze Customer

Berylline Team: We are glad to help! Enjoy your Breeze!

“The economic contributions of 50-plus Americans totaled $8.3 trillion last year, which puts them just behind the U.S. and China when measured by gross domestic product.”

Introduction

Berylline is a fast moving technology and manufacturing company specializing in the electric and small engine hybrid driving systems in personal transportation industry. Berylline's F2A was the industry's first Hybrid 3 Wheel Scooter. Only 2 years after completing our first stock offering, Berylline has completed the development of the all new Berylline Breeze, a 3-Wheel Electric Scooter, and our Hybrid Golf Cart. In addition, working with Doohan Technologies, Berylline commenced sales of the iTank Tour 3-Wheel Electric Scooter in October 2020. The Berylline Breeze will be available in early 2021 and the hybrid golf cart in early 2022. All Berylline products are targeting the retirement community and leisure markets.

Testimonials

“Troy-based Berylline Co. will introduce a 100-mile-per-gallon hybrid scooter today on the campus of Oakland University, giving riders more transportation options in the resort and leisure vehicle market.”

Detroit Business (Dbusiness)

“The company bills the vehicle as “a perfect fit for recreational or urban personal transportation.” It is currently accepting pre-orders at a price of approximately $6,000.”

The Oakland Press

“Battery easily removable from the base… That scooter is so quiet and street legal, I want one!”

The Problem

Baby Boomers are people born from 1946 to 1964. Today, more and more baby boomers are retiring and living in warmer, southern regions of the United States during the winter months.

Many baby boomers have had the desire to own a motorcycle at some point in their life, but because of family responsibility, cost, and lack of skill, they have never owned one.
Upon retiring, baby boomers still have a strong desire to own a motorcycle, but health issues are now preventing them from operating a two-wheel motorcycle.
Additionally, with age challenges, many boomers hesitate to ride 2 wheel vehicles, such as motorcycles and scooters. They want a stable and safer vehicle.
Because more and more baby boomers are living in the south during the winter months, they also prefer to have an alternative vehicle that is cost effective at their vacation home, for this the vehicle of choice has, up until now, been golf carts.

The Solution

The Berylline Hybrid Scooter has a top speed of 60MPH under hybrid mode and 30 MPH under EV mode. It is a PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle), with a two front wheel and one rear wheel design. This design coupled with a fully automatic CVT transmission provides driving stability and ease of operation. Compared to other alternatives, such as golf carts and 2 wheel scooters, the Berylline F2A has the advantages of higher speed, longer range, and is easier to operate. Plus it's stable and fun!

The Berylline Breeze is a 3-Wheel Electric Scooter based on the same chassis technology and common components from the Berylline F2A Hybrid Scooter. It has the same pleasant riding characteristics as the hybrid version, but will have a silent electric motor, making sure that you can hear the birds singing in the morning or the gentle ocean wave in the evening as you cruise along. The performance specification includes a range of 60 miles with a single charge and with the top speed of 43 MPH! The production prototype is competed and salable units will be available in early 2021.

Berylline’s Hybrid Golf Cart is a fully integrated PHEV that can travel up to 150 miles on single charge, and about 30 miles pure electric range. When in pure electric mode, the Berylline golf cart is very quiet allowing the driver to enjoy a comfortable driving experience without disturbing the surroundings. While operating in hybrid mode, an additional power supply to the Li-Ion battery allows the vehicle to travel 150 miles on a single charge. The Berylline system can also be utilized as a home generator in case of power disruption. The prototype hybrid golf cart was completed in 2020, with plans to bring this new exciting product line to the market in 2022.

June 2022 Update: Due to supply chain issues, the Berylline Hybrid Golf Cart program has been delayed to 2024.

iTank Tour

Doohan iTank is an innovative electric scooter. This 3-wheel with 2 wheels in front set up gives iTank Tour the unrivalled grip and stability. The Li-Ion battery powered scooter is also environmentally-friendly, together with 3KW high torque hub electric motor, the iTank delivers an impactful punch! Berylline and Doohan signed marketing agreement to bring the iTank Tour in US market. The first shipment of 18 Doohan iTank Tour scooters arrived at Berylline on August 24, 2020. We began sales of the iTank Tour in October 2020. This new product is now generating positive revenue and cash flow for Berylline!

Market

Independent market research funded by MEDC indicates that there are 7 major market segments for the F2A.

Retired seniors living in senior communities.
Active senior motorcyclists who want to continue or relive that experience.
Adults with vacation/second homes who would consider the Berylline for convenience, sport and economy.
Returned / Former motorcycle riders (licensed) who want a safer, less risky experience.
Rental companies can offer the Berylline as an economical alternative for local/temporary urban transportation in addition to campgrounds, parks, and tourist destinations.
Adults who are reluctant to ride a motorcycle will consider the Berylline because of the safety, speed, and energy benefits.
Adults who are interested in the motorcycle experience and were especially motivated by the hybrid capability of the Berylline.

Total Market Size	Revenue	Total Unit Sale
Motorcycle/Scooter:	$6.3 Billion	500,695
Golf Cart:	$894.2 Million	75,981

Research suggests that the primary target market is retirement communities located in warm coastal regions, such as The Villages, Del Webb, Ave Maria, Rancho Mirage, and a host of others. College campuses, KOA, and the tourist/rental markets have also been identified as opportunities. An independent research company, B E R L I N E Advertising Group, projects F2A annual sales should range from 5,767 to 11,534 units, which is based on 1-2% of the current motorcycle and golf cart annual sales volume in the USA.

Competitive Landscape

“We did not find direct competition to the Berylline F2A Hybrid Scooter. Most 3 wheel scooters such as Piaggio MP3 and the start up Sway are tilt/lean type scooters which are more difficult to handle than Berylline's F2A for the first time scooter rider.”

“The closest competitor is another new startup company called "Arcimoto" based in Eugene, Oregon. We have compared both vehicles side by side in the below chart. The chart clearly shows Berylline's F2A holding significant advantages over the Arcimoto SRK.”

“We noted that it took Arcimoto 8 generations of design to achieve their current level of design. Berylline took 2 generations to reach the final design configuration. It is our opinion that Berylline's engineering team holds the technical edge over Arcimoto.”

— Berlin Marketing Report

Business Model

Berylline's goal is to deliver the highest quality and best value to our customers with the lowest cost in order to achieve sustained profitability.

Designed in the US: to meet a niche US market (seniors and students)
Controlled by the US: US interest
Components from USA, China and other regions, designed, validated and final assembly in Michigan.

By using the Apple approach to build our business model, Berylline has been able to lower the development cost and streamline the design process so we can deliver the Berylline Breeze Electric 3-Wheel Scooter to customers within a 14-15 month time frame.

To stay niche on the market, we have the following advantages: 1) Knowledge of the US market. Our target market focuses on retirement communities, college campuses and smaller urban settings 2) Parts and production outsourcing with an established manufacturer and supplier for cost efficient components and resources. 3) The Company principals bring extensive vehicle industry background and, 4) All things combined, we are utilizing the best formula to produce cost effective Berylline Electric and Hybrid vehicles.

“The electrification of transport is now one of the major trends of the 21st century, and the markets are reacting: the 700% year-to-date surge in China-based electric carmaker NIO’s stock value and Tesla’s 415% growth since January show that investor excitement around electric vehicles is building.”

- Forbes 2020

Berylline and Doohan signed a marketing agreement to bring the iTank Tour in US market. The first shipment of 18 Doohan iTank Tour scooters arrived at Berylline in August 2020. We commenced sales of the iTank Tour in October 2020. This new product is now generating positive revenue and cash flow for Berylline!
The Berylline Hybrid Scooter has a top speed of 60 MPH under hybrid mode and 30 MPH under EV (Electric vehicle) mode. It is a PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle), with a two front wheel and one rear wheel design. Berylline is working on the F2A Hybrid 3-Wheel Scooter and is targeted to launch it in 2023.
Berylline plans to build and sell a total of 100 Berylline Breeze and iTank Tours in USA in 2021, and generate around $600,000 revenue.

Last Friday, August 12, Chief Mark Gordon, and five of his fellow officers met with the Berylline Team at Oakland University’s Incubator, to ride and evaluate our Breeze electric 3 wheel scooters. The objective was to determine whether the Breeze could be utilized by campus police units throughout the United States.

The Berylline team specifically converted one of the Breeze with the proper law enforcement equipment. Each of the officers had the opportunity to test drive the Breeze and were very complimentary and excited about the potential of the product line. Chief Gordon commented: “I think this scooter could project a more open approach to student interaction across campuses, as opposed to a typical police vehicle. The openness and unique design may entice students to inquire about these new vehicles, and thus, open up better communication.”

Berylline has promised to make one of these scooters available to the OU Police Department for further evaluation early this fall!
