Who we are?
Our Mission
At Rim Drive Technology, innovation and precision come together to shape the future of electric propulsion. What started as a passion for efficient and sustainable drive systems has grown into a company dedicated to redefining how propulsion technology is designed, built, and applied.
Quality is a core value within our organization. To ensure consistent quality and performance, all our production, research & development, and office operations are based in the Netherlands.
Our motors are 100% electric and can be used for both main propulsion or secondary drives. We offer a wide range of customizable complementary solutions, including battery systems, tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers.
Committed to Change
We are proud that our motors continue to be part of countless projects and applications around the world. We believe in taking responsibility beyond our own operations. That’s why we fully offset the CO2 emissions of our company and contribute to offsetting emissions beyond our business activities.Â
We do this in partnership with Treesforall, supporting certified tree-planting and forest restoration projects that create lasting impact for the climate and biodiversity.
Frequently Asked Questions.
On every product page you can find the most frequently asked questions per product. If you still have additional questions, you can always contact one of our specialists.
Technically the motor could be used with any battery as long as this can provide the necessary power. However, we are able to offer one of the lowest prices per Watt-hour available. Lithium batteries offer more performance per unit of weight then lead-acid batteries. In case you are not convinced by RDT batteries, we still advise to contact your dealer/service point to make sure the correct batteries are selected.
All materials are carefully selected to maintain optimal performance and endurance. However, this requires the use of an anode to protect the motor. For additional instructions please see the manual of the motor.
Our sales team/engineers are able to work with you to select the right motor. With first hand knowledge of use cases and on our experiences we can be sure to advise the correct motor.
Installing a rim drive motor is relatively easy and can if desired be delivered configured as a plug and play system. For more detailed information on the installation, please see the manual of the motor.
