Alpha Teens On Machines

A.T.O.M. (an acronym of Alpha Teens On Machines, 2005-2006) is a French animated television series, which chronicles the adventures of five teenagers (the eponymous Alpha Teens), set in the fictional Landmark City. The Alpha Teens test prototype vehicles and weapons for Lee Industries, and use these prototypes to combat criminals, particularly the sadistic Big Bad Alexander Paine.

There has been a second season aired in Europe, but it has not been aired in the US as yet. This season contains an interesting plot twist:
