    ADVANCES IN URBAN MOBILITY 

    MICROMOBILITY:
    THE ADVENT OF ESCOOTERS

    Electric scooters are a popular and convenient way of bridging any gaps in an urban journey, such as the last stage between public transit and final destination. As the global electric scooter market rapidly expands, the proliferation of sharing and rental services is set to transform urban mobility by providing flexible on-demand transportation options.

     

    URBAN LIVING:
    THE SILENT REVOLUTION CONTINUES

    Belt drive motorcycles and scooters improve urban living, reducing noise and emissions. Quiet operation, low-maintenance, and smooth power delivery make them an easy, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to get from A to B. They’re an increasingly practical choice for everyday journeys, with longer ranges and shorter charging times as battery technologies continue to advance.

     

    DOWNSIZING:
    THE SWITCH TO TWO WHEELS

    Roads continue to become more crowded, congestion is escalating, and pressures on parking continue to increase. Electric motorcycles and electric scooters are now a go-to choice for urban commuters, being highly maneuverable in busy traffic and much easier to park. As more people switch to two wheels, modern cities are finding ways to accommodate electric motorcycles and scooters within their mobility and transport infrastructure.

     

    REDUCING DRIVETRAIN NOISE ON ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES

    "See how we collaborated with AVL, one of the world’s leading mobility technology companies, to revolutionize electric motorcycle drive technology.  Not only do we support the transition from chain to belt but our CenterTrack belt drive system also significantly reduces noise. 

     

    “The best thing… is the pure silence while driving. You hop on and you feel like you’ve never ridden anything else your whole life.”

     

    Michael Kastner, Development Engineer, AVL List GmbH 

    A LEGACY OF STRENGTH

    The history of belts on American cruisers since the 1980s is a testament to their strength, reliability, and performance. From high power density to environmental resistance, belts have proven to be a superior choice for motorcycle enthusiasts. Ongoing research and development will lead to even more improvements. With advancements in technology, motorcycle manufacturers will continue adopting our belt drives — making Gates belts a staple in the industry.
