ARCds Mid Drives
Our company originated with an idea for a mid-drive way back in 2001--long before the current crop of drive systems were even imagined.
With multiple patents granted, Santa Monica EV has an extensive understanding of the technical possibilities and advantages that mid-drive technology offers. As well as many unexpected ways of configuring that technology.
By combining a more powerful motor mounted in the frame, with an intermediary jackshaft, you can have a throttle driven, high torque, high power mid-drive like Civilized Cycles.
Simplicity Drive is specifically for share bikes
Santa Monica EV and Star Union entered into a joint venture to develop complete drive systems combining our proprietary technology with their components and manufacturing expertise.
