In 2017, 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.

After a sneak preview at Eurobike 2018, we will be in the marketplace for model year 2020.

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.
