AXEN1 pre-production testing is now open — 20 units for our community

AXEN1 is coming!

A month ago we published the Official Announcement introducing Project Mundus Novus. Today we want to share something that truly moved us: every single one of our pre-order customers — 100% — chose to stay with us and keep their trust in what we're building, with our community growing too — our Facebook Page just passed 6,200 followers.

Thank you. We mean it.

We've also heard from many community members and dealers asking for a chance to experience AXEN1 or join us as partners. We hear you — and we're answering with action: despite real difficulties and challenges, we're pushing to get test units into your hands as fast as we can.

We're now opening AXEN1 pre-production testing registration to the AXEN1 community. (To our pre-order customers: thank you again — you don't need to do anything; you will be notified directly.)

Terms:

1. The pre-production unit: main AXEN1 functions, with RF modules removed for best-effort FCC compliance. For testing purposes only — not offered as a product for sale.
2. Scope: Canada & the United States — 20 units in total: 10 for users, 10 for dealers. One unit per user / per dealer.
3. Process: apply on our website → we review and approve → both sides sign the testing agreement → you pay the deposit → the machine ships and testing begins.
4. When the genuine AXEN1 ships: return the pre-production unit and receive the deposit back (less non-refundable payment processing fees), refunded to the original payment method. Returning testers will have priority purchase rights for the genuine AXEN1 (handled under a separate purchase agreement at that time).

Notes:

• Timeline: we are targeting delivery during the 2026 Christmas and 2027 New Year holidays, with pre-production unit returns starting after the 2027 snow season (spring 2027).
• Deposit: US$1,500 per unit. Your receipt will note "pre-production deposit". Canadian testers will automatically see the CAD equivalent at checkout.
• Why a deposit this time: our MowBeetle mower tester program ran on a 0-deposit policy backed by signed agreements — and we wanted to keep it that way. But 20% of those test units were never returned. So for AXEN1, a refundable deposit applies.
• To apply: we review every application personally and respond within 2 business days. Once approved, we'll email you the AXEN1 Pre-Production Tester Agreement and guide you through the remaining steps.
