DESCRIPTION:
IMA is a system that divides the power train in two differentiated blocks: the
electric motor, and the gear/clutch box.
GENERAL BENEFITS
*INDEPENDENT MOTOR: This architecture allows a clean and more convenient
motor maintenance, better electric isolation, and a very fast “in-race” motor re-
placement in case of failure.
*SPRING MULTIDISC CLUTCH vs DIAPHRAGM: Although it is three times
heavier, we have shifted from the former diaphragm clutch to a spring one be-
cause it provides a better control, higher precision, higher inertial properties and
more setting possibilities. This turns into a more sensible control in classic riding
style or a faster response in modern riding style, depending upon the chosen set-
ting.
*5 SPEED GEARBOX vs SINGLE SPEED: Including 5 speed allows a higher con-
trol in sections and a more comfortable ride in intersections. It has also a direct
impact on energy savings.
