Update-9: Electric Drive Train Complete 🚀 & Final Assembly Begins Feb 17! 🦎🔧
Exciting news—this is your shipment month! 🎉 As promised, we're on track to ship all GeckoWiper 🦎 units by the end of February. Here's where things stand:
✅ 1. Electric Drive Train – Fully Assembled!
All motors, batteries, and PCBAs are completed and ready to go. Your GeckoWiper’s power system is fully assembled!
🏗 2. Plastic Housing – Arriving by Feb 17
The plastic injection process was more challenging than expected, but we’ve successfully resolved mold issues. Below an image of plastic injection samples approved for system integration (interface checks). Mass production is now underway, and all plastic housings will be ready for system integration by Feb 17.
🔧 3. Final Assembly & Quality Checks
Starting Feb 17, we’ll begin the final assembly, where the electric drivetrain is integrated in its mechanical housing! This will be followed by thorough quality inspections to ensure every unit meets our standards. We’ll also share photos of the production process as soon as available.
📦 4. Shipping Schedule
We’ll begin shipping from Feb 24, with the goal of having all units shipped by the end of the month. This means your GeckoWiper 🦎 should be in your hands and ready for installation by mid-March!

Update-8b: Certification Passed - Mass Production Progress – Assembly Starting Soon !🦎
1.) Hardware arrival
All electrical hardware components are inhouse & inspected & ready for assembly
All mechanical hardware is also inhouse & inspected, apart from the main injection housing (details next point)
2.) Injection parts
All injection steel moulds are finished
3 of 5 GeckoWiper injection plastic parts are available for sample approval & geometrical tolerance / shrinkage check. Currently matt mould surface treatment is added
The GeckoWiper plastic housing, coming with a complex steel mould, will provide plastic approval samples by end of the upcoming week.
3.) Mass production of electronics, performance test stand
All electronics, PCBA are manufactured & programmed & tested on dedicated test stand
The test stand is part of quality approval prior assembly into the GeckoWiper mechanics.
4.) Certification
GeckoWiper has successfully passed all required certifications and is now officially compliant with FCC, CE, IC, ROHS, and REACH standards, ensuring global acceptance.
A Peek Behind the Scenes: Achieving this milestone required multiple GeckoWiper to prepare & submit for dismount & even destructive testing. The journey came with a 30-page documentation for submission needs, exchanging over 80 emails, and dedicating two months of work. But we did it—and it’s all thanks to your incredible support that made this journey possible.
5.) Summary
Certification: finished
Sourcing finished, part based incoming inspection finished & parts inhouse for assembly
Injection parts: Last GeckoWiper plastic injection housing to receive next week. Updating for injection mold from the 3D print design proved to be more complex than anticipated, but it’s now complete & mould finished for sample release.
Assembly Line: Set to begin in early February, with the goal of releasing and shipping all 300 units worldwide by the end of February.

Update-5: Battery Certification Milestone Achieved 🚀
Date: 20.Nov 2024
Hello everyone,
I’m excited to share a major milestone with you all. As mentioned during Update-2, today, we’ve successfully passed the battery certification for GeckoWiper🦎! This is a critical achievement and an essential requirement for the ongoing certification of the GeckoWiper🦎 system.
For those interested in the details, the battery certification process involved:
Short circuit tests
Overcharge tests
Vibration tests
Shock tests
Thermal abuse at 130°C
Cell crush tests (no fire or explosion)
Over-discharge tests
Thank you for your continued support, and I wish you all a great day!
Best regards,
Robert
