"As a cruiser/commuter hybrid, the Santa Monica is well-equipped for both functionality and comfort. It features an accessible step-thru frame, an accommodating saddle, and swept-back handlebars that keep the rider upright. It also includes wide, stable tires, integrated lights and turn signals, a suspension fork, and an MIK-compatible cargo rack. The bike was also highly impressive in practice; as with every model we've reviewed, we conducted extensive performance tests, but even a short test ride was enough to reveal the Santa Monica's lively, responsive feel."
"Looks are certainly subjective, but we couldn't help but dig the Santa Monica's classic yet refined aesthetic. Our test bike's glossy cornflower blue color reminded us of an automobile's paint job, while its brown faux leather saddle/grips and tan-wall tires added a retro vibe to the whole package. The bike ultimately delivered in looks, ride feel, and on-paper specs, but how did its performance compare with similar cruiser and commuter-style e-bikes we've tested?"
The AIMA Santa Monica is a cruiser/commuter e-bike with a step-thru frame, accommodating saddle, swept-back handlebars, wide stable tires, integrated lights, turn signals, suspension fork, and an MIK-compatible cargo rack. A quiet 750W motor paired with a torque sensor delivers smooth, responsive assistance that climbs hills easily and adapts to pedal effort. Performance testing revealed a lively, peppy ride feel and quiet motor operation. The bike combines classic, refined aesthetics—glossy cornflower blue paint, brown faux-leather saddle and grips, and tan-wall tires—with practical commuter features for comfortable, functional urban riding.
