Each innovation we introduce is designed to enrich your experience. From smarter building and integration features to even more versatile design elements, this section will showcase the full spectrum of our latest achievements. 

Get ready to be inspired as we reveal the rest of our innovations that are sure to captivate builders of all ages!

Our new 360° Connector Platform transforms the way you build, offering unparalleled modularity and flexibility. Each connector part now features a 360° knurled disc.

This design allows every part to interlock seamlessly at any angle you desire. The result? Infinite possibilities in construction, enabling you and your family to engineer virtually anything you can imagine!

 

Our new Battery Mount is designed to accommodate the two stylish 60Wh and 96Wh lithium-ion batteries. 

This versatile Mount can be attached anywhere on your ride. Whether you’re customizing a bike, a scooter, or any other Infento ride, our new Mount and battery integrates seamlessly, maintaining the sleek, streamlined look of your creation.

The 10-inch tires are perfect for smaller builds and for those looking to scale up, our 14-inch tires are tailored for bigger adventures, supporting larger projects like Quads or robust Go-Karts.

Both tire sizes are engineered with a modular design, incorporating compatibility with our electric ePulse hub motor system. This means you can easily upgrade your ride with motorized power!

Infento’s new modular steering system is designed with a steering arm and axle that are adaptable to three different wheel sizes, enhancing the flexibility of your builds.

The compatibility with multiple wheels not only simplifies the building process but also empowers you to experiment and refine your designs effortlessly.

Our new axle plate can be attached to every Infento axle profile, transforming it into a lighter alternative to the standard aluminum profile. 

This advancement not only reduces the overall weight of your constructions but also expands your building options, offering greater flexibility in design. 

The Driftlock® System is an ingenious feature that allows young builders and riders to change their ride into a drifting machine with a simple adjustment. 

Choose the connector with pins, and your ride maintains a stable, drift-free experience, perfect for straightforward racing or cruising. Opt for the connector with washers, and transform your ride into a thrilling drift machine, ready to make 360’s and to slide smoothly around corners with ease.

This dual-functionality not only doubles the fun but also enhances the educational value, as builders learn firsthand how different mechanisms affect motion. 

Whether you’re in the mood for a fun and high-adrenaline drift or a straight and steady ride, the Driftlock® System puts the control right at your fingertips.

Infento is proud to introduce an innovative redesign of our aluminum profiles. In our latest iteration, we’ve ingeniously incorporated four triangular shapes into the core of the profile. 

Our new design is 10% lighter than its predecessor, making it easier to handle and maneuver. Additionally, we’ve significantly increased its resilience, with a 50% improvement in torsion strength. This means the profile can better resist twisting forces that act to rotate it along its length axis, enhancing its structural integrity under stress. Furthermore, we’ve boosted its resistance to bending by 10%, ensuring even greater durability where it counts, although the previous model was already highly robust. 

These improvements collectively enhance the performance of every Infento build, providing you with a superior riding experience!

Our new modular seat is an ergonomic upgrade to our Kits, designed specifically with our youngest builders and riders in mind. 

This new seat comes in three different lengths, catering perfectly to younger children with smaller legs. This thoughtful design ensures that every ride is not only fun but also comfortably tailored to support the posture and needs of younger users.

Our modular hub motor features a socket that allows you to attach a dual motor, effectively doubling the power. 

While the second motor is not available in this Kickstarter campaign, it will be launched on our website within a few months. This thoughtful design is perfect for those who require extra power for challenging terrains or special custom builds. 

Our modular kits give you unlimited possibilities!

EVERLASTING MEMORY
Building together

What if you don’t just buy your (grand)child a Ride, but you create it together? Spend quality time while working on a shared goal. Imagine the proud smile on your child’s face when he or she gets to try out the Ride for the first time.  

This experience you’ll share will be an everlasting memory. After building it’s time to spend hours of fun with the Ride you have built jointly, with your own hands.

Infento was founded in 2010 by Spencer Rotting and Sander Letema. These brothers in law both have a passion for inventing and designing. Together they designed and developed a unique modular concept. 

 

Today’s kids face a world that is rapidly evolving and that comes with many challenges. Creative thinking will be a crucial skill that determines the success of the next generation. And we’re not only talking about personal success. 

Children now enter a universe of fast changing technology, an ever-shifting global economy and far-reaching health and environmental challenges. 

All scenarios that will require plenty of creative thinking.

We think the world should focus more on letting our kids explore the world around them while encouraging creativity. Early development of creativity is much more important than we think it is.  

The good news is that every child has unlimited creative potential. It is the mission of Infento to help as many kids as possible to fulfill their potential in a fun, challenging, caring and playful way.

 

At Infento, our mission is simple yet profound: “Building a better future together.” Every Infento project is an opportunity for families to bond, learn, and grow together, transforming the process of play into a powerful educational experience. 

By investing in the potential of our children, we are not just building better toys—we are helping to build brighter futures, ensuring that the next generation is prepared to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. 

With Infento, every connection and every creation is a step toward a more innovative and sustainable world, showing that together, we can achieve remarkable things!

 

Meet Spencer Rotting and Sander Letema, the visionaries who founded Infento. 

Inspired by his time volunteering with children at a youth organization, where he helped build go-karts and orchestrated soap box races, Spencer saw the incredible potential in the kids’ inventive use of basic materials. This sparked the concept for Infento—a sophisticated, modular system designed to channel youthful creativity into amazing life-size creations!

Sharing his innovative idea with his brother-in-law, Sander, a seasoned designer who ran his own design company in the Netherlands, the duo embraced the challenge of creating versatile, multi-functional components. Their commitment to quality and design excellence led to the creation of products that embody the principles of Dutch design—functional, aesthetically pleasing, and durably made in the Netherlands.

Together, Spencer and Sander have crafted not just a product, but a modular building platform where families can build, learn, and play together, fostering creativity and practical skills in children, all while ensuring the highest standards of quality and design.
