Meet Črt Gorup – Co-Founder & Software Engineer
Tell us about yourself.
I’m a software engineer specialized in embedded systems. I spent years at Pipistrel working alongside Jure on electric and hybrid aircraft propulsion. That experience taught me the value of reliability and precision in critical systems when the software is the brain of the machine, there’s no room for mistakes. At Flux, I apply that same mindset to motorcycles.
What do you do at Flux?
I focus on the vehicle control unit and embedded software, the part that makes the bike think. The system reads inputs 100 times per second and translates them into traction, torque, and stability in real time. My goal is simple: give riders the confidence that the bike will always react instantly and predictably.
What makes Flux different from the competition?
Other bikes may have strong motors or big batteries, but without software integration, it doesn’t add up to performance. At Flux, hardware and software are designed together. That’s why our 85 HP drivetrain, 7.9 kWh battery, and virtual clutch feel so seamless the control system ties it all into one ride that just works.
What are you most proud of at Flux?
That we don’t take shortcuts. From the drivetrain to the BMS to the software, everything is done in-house. It’s a lot more work, but it also means every detail is built for performance.
What do you dream about?
I dream about giving riders the feeling that the machine disappears under them — that it becomes an extension of themselves. When the tech is so good it feels invisible, that’s when you’ve done your job right.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I see myself still building but on a much larger scale. In 10 years, I want Flux to be the benchmark in performance motorcycles, and I want to know that I helped create the smartest, most capable machines on the track and beyond.
