The Santa Monica revolutionizes urban commuting with its sleek design and advanced features. Powered by a robust 750W Bafang rear hub motor and a long-lasting 48V 15Ah LG battery, it delivers powerful performance and reliability. With speeds up to 28mph under pedal assist (20mph on throttle) and a range of 60 miles, navigating city streets is effortless. Equipped with Tektro Hydraulic Brakes and a Suntour Suspension Fork, it ensures responsive braking and a smooth ride. UL2849 certification guarantees top-notch safety. The Santa Monica is the ultimate choice for stylish and efficient city adventures.
Pedal Assist
Higher levels of pedal assist will allow for an easier ride, but will also draw more power from the battery. Lower pedal assist levels are better for getting as many miles as possible out of your battery.
Average Cruising Speed
Riding slower will decrease the amount of energy you lose to wind resistance as the bike pushes you forward. Slower speeds will extend battery life.
Tire Pressure
Keeping your tires inflated to the recommended pressure can help increase your range. Maintaining a proper tire pressure not only increases your range, but also helps prevent pinch flats! For most riding situations, checking your tire pressure at least once a week will keep your ride safe and energy-efficient.
Load Weight
Carrying a heavier load can decrease your range. This includes the total load of both the weight of the rider and any cargo you may be carrying. More weight takes more time and energy to get up to speed, negatively affecting your range. It's best to keep loads light whenever possible if you're looking to extend your range.
Terrain & Elevation
In general, riding over smooth and flat terrain will give you a longer range. Hills and rough terrain can greatly impact your maximum range, especially on higher assist levels.
Wind
That's right! The wind can affect your battery range too! Riding into a headwind will decrease your range, but if you're able to catch a tailwind, you'll actually see that you'll gain more range! Be mindful of which way the wind is blowing when you are riding. If you've been riding in a tailwind, turning around will take more energy from the battery to get you home.
Ambient Temperature
Riding in cold weather will impact the battery's ability to function optimally. A good rule of thumb is, if you're comfortable, then the battery is comfortable too. This also goes for storing the battery too!
Torque Sensor
One of the latest e-bike innovations, a torque sensor sees how hard you pedal in real time and matches your input power using the motor. This leads to a safer and more intuitive ride, as well as conserving battery life.
Integrated Turn Signal Light with Sound
Santa Monica is the first AIMA ebike model with integrated turn signal light and sound. When you turn or change lanes, the rear lights integrated in the frame will double with a clear notification sound communicating to surrounding vehicles or passengers.
Front Suspension with Thru Axel
Santa Monica assures you a much more comfortable ride with a 27.5”SR Suntours front suspension with thru axel
Customized Big Saddle
Specially customized 280mm x 270mm saddle, with unique vintage vibe design, providing all riders with ultimate comfort.
Hydraulic Brake System with 203mm Rotor
Santa Monica is outfitted with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and industry-leading 203mm rotors, ensuring smooth and safe braking. With this advanced braking system, riders experience enhanced control and confidence on every journey.
Flat Position Welding
We've taken great care and utilized some of the newest aluminum welding techniques available on our frame, which comes with a lifetime warranty. These techniques allow the frame to maintain its structural rigidity while also appearing flat and smooth.
