Partner with Gates early in your design to achieve the right balance between power transmission performance and cost-effectiveness. We start by understanding how your design will move and work, and in what conditions. What kind of loads will it need to bear? And what kind of maintenance will best meet your market’s needs? We’ll work with you, using our unique software to optimize your design. You can also use our industry-first Mobility Drive Analysis™ tool, which makes it easier to design your own Gates Belt Drive system for your next-generation vehicle.
Delivering our quietest performance ever (up to 15 decibels lower than chain), the Gates Moto X5 high-performance product line is designed for mid-motor, sit-down electric scooters and electric motorcycles. It’s quiet, smooth, and strong, while remaining clean and free of rust and oil.
Our narrowest carbon belt ever, Gates Moto X9 is the next-gen drive belt that enables the most compact and lightweight drive designs for motorcycles and scooters. Long-lasting (up to 84% longer than chain), low-maintenance, and clean, its flex-fatigue resistance exceeds that of steel, glass, and aramid fibers. And it won’t degrade with exposure to water, oil, or most other contaminants.
Designed for electric scooters and electric motorcycles, Gates Moto XF front sprockets are available in a wide range of configurations—including custom splines, offset variations, and single or dual flange. Made from high-durability carbon steel, with our anticorrosion E-coating as standard.
‘It took me about maybe a week of commuting on an electric bike to realize that I don't want a transmission, I don't want the vibration, I don't want the noise. I want to just focus on the road. The ‘magic carpet ride’ is the phrase we use to describe the feeling you get when you ride our motorcycles with the Gates belt.’
- Derek Yuen, Director of Mechanical Engineering, Zero Motorcycles
