eBikesorg Review
Our very own @photony was one of the first to get his hands on a pre-launch model of AIMA's latest e-bike, the Santa Monica. This bike continues with the California theme (following AIMA's previous Big Sur model), but it has something extremely unique: a Route 66 Bafang motor designed exclusively for the Santa Monica.
Micromobility Industries Review
A quick "preview" review. The Santa Monica is a sleek and refined city bike with stealthily integrated electronics and an approachable step-thru frame. Assist is provided by AIMA's new "Route 66" 750-watt slim profile motor, custom designed in a partnership with Bafang that includes the full drive system.

Customer Reviews
I'm 58 and needed something to do besides sit around all day. I have a beach cruiser but it's too difficult to ride with my knee and back issues (growing old can be difficult). I was looking at ebikes for some time and decided to test ride a few at a local dealer. All were very impressive but the Aima Santa Monica stood out for me. The weight limit is 400lbs which I need. The pedal crank area is lower to the ground than the others making it easier to get on and off. It rides smooth and has a comfortable seat and powerful motor that goes faster than I care to ride. It's easy to operate once you get used to everything and it's just plain fun. I love the torque sensor and rarely use the thumb throttle to make it go. It is easy on my knees due to the power assist it gives me when I pedal. I am very happy I chose this as my first ebike.
The torque sensor is so strong I am unable to get up steep hills. It will only give me power if I peddle harder. What if I can’t peddle harder? I need power to assist!!! That is why I bought an ebike. I have over 4000 miles on my first ebike purchased in 2016. My Aima bike is fine for someone young and athletic but not for a 68 year old. So sad. I tried to get help from where I bought it and from the company to see if the torque could be reprogrammed to make it easier but I could not get answers. So we are selling it and buying another brand.
I did a ton of research on a bunch of different brands and eventually settled on the Santa Monica for my wife and myself. Couldn't be happier! We always charge our batteries out of the bike so the safety auto shut off has not been an issue. I especially like that they only sell their stuff through brick and motar stores to support the little guys and help keep bike shops in business. Our Local bike shop was a lot of help too.
My husband talked me into an e-bike and I’m so glad he did. We’re fortunate to live in an area with lots of bike paths, so we plan to go out and about on our bikes a lot. The e-bike takes out the hill dread and makes riding run. And looks super cool too! Would love to see some matching accessories available.
I had been researching eBikes for 1.5 years and had finally settled on a highly recommended, sub-$2k, ebike. I went to a local dealer to buy the bike and the dealer asked me to take his Santa Monica prototype, a bike I had never seen before, for a ride. Compared to the bike I went there to buy, the SM had 50% more power, a higher wH battery, larger brakes, a better display and a lower step-over height, a critical requirement as I have a disability that restricts my leg motion. Plus it was less expensive. I put in an order for the Santa Monica that day. I picked up my new Santa Monica several months ago and have been enjoying it ever since. I ride it in PAL 1 most of the time; it cruises up our steepest local hills in PAL 2 (out of 5) at 15 MPH with me pedaling. This bike is fast! One review showed a pedal assisted speed of 37 MPH in Unlimited mode. The acceleration in PAL 2 puts a smile on my face; PAL 5 lets me effortlessly accelerate up the steepest hill in my riding area, a buddy's long driveway with a grade illegal for public roads. I am getting over 60 miles on a charge (mostly flat roads, PAL 1, pedaling full time to maximize my exercise). This is very well built, beautiful (mine is blue) with welds and paint that are easily the equivalent of bikes double the cost. It is a solid feeling bike; even large bumps hit at 15 - 20 MPH don't cause frame flexing. It is a fun bike that looks like a low speed cruiser but can turn into a rocket (Unlimited PAL 5) if you want. If you are looking for a great sub-$2K cruiser that you can look forward to riding every day, , this bike is worth a look.
