At the intersection of innovation and the urgent need for sustainable urban solutions, San Francisco Bay-based company Veer unveils its Shift Drive System, marking a monumental shift in electric mobility. This advanced drivetrain technology is redefining the performance, affordability, and sustainability of Light Electric Vehicles, propelling the industry toward a greener future.
The Electric Mobility Challenge & Veer’s Solution
The transition to electric mobility faces significant barriers, such as outdated battery technology and a lack of sufficient charging infrastructure, coupled with the issues of high costs and limited vehicle range. These factors of high prices and range anxiety notably hinder their broader acceptance among consumers. A survey by S&P Global Mobility highlights that nearly half of the respondents globally consider EV prices too high, pinpointing affordability as a main concern.
Veer’s Shift Drive System addresses these challenges by harnessing advanced carbon fiber belt drivetrain technologies and replacing age-old chain drives and gearbox transmissions. Its built-in gear system allows for the use of smaller batteries and cheaper motors, reducing costs while maintaining performance. The visionary company doesn’t stop here. The Shift Drive System is designed to drastically reduce operational costs, with a 62% lower cost to operate the drivetrain compared to traditional systems.
The innovative system transforms what has traditionally been a costly maintenance nightmare into a ‘set and forget’ solution. By eliminating the need for regular lubrication and lasting up to 4x longer than traditional chain systems, Veer’s belt drive and Shift Drive System require minimal maintenance. This innovation not only enhances the overall efficiency of LEVs but also significantly reduces their lifetime cost. Coupled with Veer’s vision for a sustainable future, the Shift Drive System accelerates the adoption of LEV usage for local transportation.
Sustainability at the Core of Mobility
The Veer team, driven by a lifelong passion for cycling and belief in the transformative power of LEVs, combines expertise and innovation to develop sustainable solutions. The development of the Shift Drive System along with their expansion of drivetrain products for the growing number of LEV applications proves to be a crucial step further in promoting sustainable urban transportation.
“Veer’s team has a lifelong passion for cycling and believes LEVs can help fight global warming and change the world for the better. We rely upon that passion and expertise in the pursuit of not only growing the company but the expansion of our product offerings,” says Kelly Burr, CEO of Veer. “Our new Shift Drive paired with our Superbelt line opens the door to higher-powered eBikes and cargo bikes that need the ultimate in durability and reliability. This is a massively growing market for commercial applications as more delivery companies are using e-cargo bikes for ‘last-mile’ deliveries.”
In the heart of bustling cities, the adoption of commercial e-cargo bikes for ‘last mile’ deliveries is gaining momentum as a solution to reduce congestion, lower emissions, and enhance delivery efficiency. Veer’s Shift Drive System is perfectly poised to support this transformation. By offering an innovative, low-maintenance, and durable drivetrain solution, Veer is enabling a more sustainable approach to urban freight. This commitment is reflected in Veer’s mission, aiming to reduce urban congestion and pollution significantly, thereby contributing to a healthier planet.
Key Features of the Shift Drive System include:
- Minimal Maintenance: Designed for hassle-free operation, requiring no regular lubrication and resistance to rust.
- Enhanced Durability: Carbon fiber-reinforced rubber belts withstand the torque of eBike motors, outliving chains by up to four times.
- Sleek and Clean: Operates without oily lubricants, keeping riders and their bikes clean.
- Smooth Performance: Provides a jolt-free ride with immediate power transfer.
- Featherlight Design: Significantly lighter than chain counterparts, enhancing mobility.
- Whisper Quiet: Operates so quietly, enhancing the riding experience.
- Wide Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with leading motor manufacturers, adaptable to a broad range of LEVs.
Veer’s journey of innovation and expansion in the electric mobility market continues to gain momentum with strategic partnerships globally, including with Phatfour, a pioneering Dutch-based eBike brand. These collaborations, coupled with the debut of its Super Belt and Xpert Drive product lines at Eurobike, showcase Veer’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.
Veer’s reputation as a trailblazer in the electric mobility sector is further solidified by the overwhelming support received during its last equity crowdfunding campaign for its Split Belt technology, which successfully raised over $914K from more than 921 investors. They have since sold thousands of products into the global market. To expedite the launch of this transformative technology, once again, Veer has embarked on a StartEngine campaign. This move not only highlights Veer’s progressive trajectory but also invites forward-thinking investors to join in accelerating the Shift Drive’s introduction to the market.
About the company: Veer, rooted in innovation, seeks to democratize access to belt drives and electric mobility. Their unparalleled next-gen drivetrain solutions position them at the forefront of the LEV industry. Veer’s mission goes beyond business – it’s about championing the shift towards sustainable, local transportation, and benefiting the environment.
