How do you turn an electric adventure motorcycle into a fully equipped broadcast vehicle - without letting any of its kit extend beyond the bike itself?

That was the challenge behind this Zero DSR/X prototype, developed by Woodway for Magnet Motors and the BBC.

The motorcycle needed to carry tripods, an umbrella, cables and essential reporting equipment securely, while remaining balanced, road legal and easy to manoeuvre among dozens of other broadcast bikes.

The answer involved custom-fabricated storage tubes, bespoke brackets, 3D-printed components and a complete relocation of the rear lights and indicators to accommodate the largest tripod.
Every detail was designed around the reporters using it - including how quickly they could park, unload and begin broadcasting once they arrived at a story.

A warning system is only as effective as the way it is configured.

Programming determines everything from flash patterns and light intensity to how individual functions work together and how the system responds to different operating modes.

That technical knowledge sits behind every system we supply. From specification and programming through to installation and ongoing support, our team helps customers achieve the right warning performance for the vehicle and its operational role.

Products you can count on from people you can trust.

Could the INEOS Grenadier become the 4x4 of choice for policing?

The INEOS Grenadier is attracting growing interest across emergency and specialist applications worldwide. Following its recent Metropolitan Police approval for blue light use, it's easy to see why.

We had the opportunity to specify, supply and install a complete Woodway emergency warning kit on one of the new prototype police vehicles, currently on trial with Staffordshire Police - featuring the Liberty II lightbar, our best selling ION lightheads, and a distinctive pair of Arges remote spotlight - all powered by Whelen's CenCom Core control system.

Take a closer look at the vehicle and why the Grenadier is becoming one of the most talked-about specialist platforms for policing in our latest article: https://woodwayengineering.com/inside-the-ineos-grenadier-police-prototype/

Every second counts in an emergency - and the right equipment makes all the difference.

No single product can transform an emergency response on its own. Instead, it’s the combination of carefully specified equipment that helps crews work more efficiently, safely and confidently. From warning lighting and scene lighting to intelligent vehicle control systems and reliable equipment, every component has a role to play.

Whether responding by air or by road, the priority for Magpas Air Ambulance is the same - getting specialist medical care to critically ill and injured patients as quickly and safely as possible.

Its rapid response vehicles play a vital role across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and beyond, particularly when weather, road conditions, location or time of day make travelling by road the most effective option.

Carrying the same hospital-level equipment and drugs as the helicopter, these Volvo XC90 rapid response vehicles are built to support the Magpas medical team throughout its 24/7 service.

They are also fitted with Whelen warning lighting supplied by Woodway, helping improve visibility and protect both the clinical team and other road users while responding to emergencies.

A striking fleet supporting an incredibly important service - on the road and in the air.

We’ve supported Police fleets for decades.

From marked response vehicles through to specialist units, warning lighting plays a critical role in helping officers operate safely, effectively, and visibly in fast-moving environments.

That visibility needs to work from every angle – whether it’s approaching traffic at speed, protecting a scene, or operating in built-up urban environments where clear vehicle recognition matters instantly.

That’s why so many law enforcement fleets continue to rely on Woodway – delivering products with proven performance, long-term reliability, and ranges engineered to withstand the demands of frontline policing day after day.

And it’s not just about emergency response.

Specialist vehicles also require practical, scene-focused solutions – including Night Owl mast systems designed and built here at Woodway, trusted across a wide range of police applications for decades.

And not to mention the many police forces we worked with on bespoke vehicle and motorcycle conversions every day here at Woodway.

Every motorcycle has a destination. Some just happen to be four thousand miles away.
Working alongside international export specialist Interex, Woodway converted eleven Yamaha Tracer 7 motorcycles for operational policing in the Caribbean.

Each bike was fitted with Whelen warning lighting, a multi-tone siren system, custom controls and full police livery. Our engineering team also digitally scanned the motorcycle platform to develop bespoke brackets and components, with two bikes later adapted to better suit shorter riders.

The completed motorcycles were then prepared, crated and loaded for their journey overseas.

From specialist engineering and installation to export preparation, this project brought teams across both businesses together to deliver a complete fleet ready for its next chapter.

As if our Night Owl experts weren’t already busy enough, we’ve been shipping them up and down the country to deliver the new Night Owl training too.

And honestly?

We love it.
They love it.
And the feedback so far has been brilliant.

There’s something really satisfying about walking into a workshop and seeing operators, technicians and fleet teams getting hands-on with the products they use every day.

Because confidence comes from knowing your equipment inside out.

Delivered at customer locations, our Night Owl training is built for the people who operate, service and maintain mast systems within their fleets. From deployment and parking procedures through to servicing, diagnostics and real-world fault finding, the sessions are practical, hands-on, and tailored to the way customers actually use their equipment.

There’s no danger of boring classroom waffle – just real operational understanding and practical training from the people who design, build and support the equipment.

There’s a reason why the Whelen Edge 9X is becoming the go-to choice across so many specialist vehicle builds.

Take these two Defender conversions from Commercial Auto Electrics - Kent LTD, for example… Different applications, different requirements, but the same choice of lightbar.

Why?

Because the Edge is built to do far more than simply provide warning lighting.

Fully configurable, it can be programmed to incorporate functions such as stop lights, tail lights, indicators, main beam, alley lights and take-downs - helping installers create clean, integrated vehicle solutions without compromising on performance.

Whether it's supporting emergency services, recovery operators or commercial fleets, the Edge is designed to adapt to the job at hand.
