ACE Motors Academy
Learn. Build. Test. Become a Builder.
The ACE Motors Academy is where off-road enthusiasts, builders, technicians, and future entrepreneurs learn how electric vehicles actually work—and how to build them.
Start with the fundamentals. Build your first electric machine. Learn the systems behind it. Then take your skills further through advanced courses, hands-on projects, and the ACE Builders community.
You don’t need to be an engineer.
You need to be willing to build.
WHAT IS THE ACE MOTORS ACADEMY?
More Than Courses. It’s a Pathway.
The traditional powersports industry is built around buying finished products.
ACE Motors is building something different.
We’re creating a community of people who understand the technology, know how to work on it, and can build their own machines.
The Academy provides the knowledge and resources to make that possible.
Learn
Understand electric motors, batteries, controllers, wiring, suspension, chassis design and vehicle systems.
Build
Put that knowledge into practice by building real electric off-road machines.
Test
Learn how to safely test, troubleshoot and improve your builds in real-world environments.
Advance
Move into more advanced vehicle systems, engineering and fabrication.
Lead
The best builders can progress toward the ACE Founders Club and eventually become part of the ACE Motors business network.
