一级方程式赛车旨在获得最大加速度。为实现这一目标，其发动机功率必须大而重量必须轻。它们的功率密度也达到了每公斤车重 1.3 马力以上的出色数值。
SPIKE ASM 驱动超越一级方程式赛车
SPIKE ASM 驱动系统的功率密度超过 1.5 马力/千克，效率更高，因此是无与伦比的赛道车辆。一辆重达 2000 千克的普通车辆需要 3000 马力才能达到相同的功率密度。这种巨大的动力对于过山车的建造意味着什么？
MODULE 02 / DRIVE UNIT
100% traction
Anywhere on the track.
While classical roller coasters draw their energy from the first drop, every Spike vehicle carries its own drive. The rack-and-pinion drive transmits its force by positive locking - at every moment, at every point on the track. This is the basis for everything Spike makes possible: acceleration over 1g even uphill, programmable ride profiles, and a track layout that follows the story instead of gravity.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
How the Spike drive works
01 / 100% traction
Positive locking, not friction
One or more electrically driven drive gears engage the rack on the track - no tire drive, no friction, no slip. The driving force is available at 100% and at any position, independent of weather, wetness, or load.
02 / All onboard
Power and control onboard
Every vehicle carries its own power supply and control. The track stays passive - no external drives, brakes, or block sections. This makes every vehicle autonomous and the track infrastructure simple.
03 / Software
A shared control core
All drive variants use the same Software-Defined Dynamics core. Ride behavior is defined by software - reproducible, programmable, and upgradeable via updates.
THE MODULES IN THIS LAYER
Three drive systems
for the entire platform.
Small
Small drive unit
For the Spike Rider Family:
Developed for the lightweight vehicles of the Spike Rider family. Enables accelerations of over 1g and is the platform's proven foundation, running in ten Spike Racing installations worldwide. Compact, efficient, proven.

Large / Redundant
Large drive unit with full redundancy
For large and heavy vehicles:
Designed for the large, heavy applications of the platform - from the thrill coasters of the Spike Fun family to the passenger transport vehicles of the Spike Mobility family. Through the dual rack of the large track, it delivers twice the driving force and full redundancy. The configuration is adapted to each application - for example, to the laterally pivoting 360° cabin of the PM360.

Used in:
Spike ASM Launch - Spike Wheelie - Spike X-Fly - Spike Drifter - Spike Surfin - Spike PM360 - Spike PM360 Open-Air - Spike Cargo Heavy
In the concept phase
Horizontal-track drive unit
A dedicated drive unit for the horizontal track is in the concept phase - designed for particularly high loads. It delivers up to twice the driving force of the large vertical-track unit and is likewise redundant. This opens up applications such as container transport.
