Anyone who has been thinking about joining the e-bike<\/a> revolution might want to take a look at the new Nova range from the team at Ampler. The Estonia-based company has just confirmed a “world first” with its latest battery-powered bikes able to get a refill using standard USB-C. Yes, that finally means when you ride to the office you\u2019ll be able to boost the tank using just your laptop charger.<\/p>\n

Until now, all e-bikes have needed a unique and dedicated charger which means lugging a big and heavy power pack in your bag in case things run flat.<\/p>\n

Ampler now appears to have fixed this pretty annoying flaw. The company says its USB-C socket should take the battery from flat to full in around three hours.<\/p>\n

Another bonus of this upgrade is that you can also use the standard socket to refill your phone using any power that’s left in the bike’s battery.<\/p>\n

“Charge your e-bike with a regular laptop charger or top up your phone battery by using the bike as a power bank. Stay on the road & get your bike to full charge in just 3 hours,\u201d Ampler explained on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with that nifty way of charging, the Ampler Nova also features a lightweight 17.4kg design, 9-speed gear system and up to 70 miles of range depending on the terrain and how much assistance you require from the battery.<\/p>\n

There is even fully integrated GPS tracking for added security, and it comes with a two-year warranty plus a 14-day free return if you don’t like it.<\/p>\n

There are five colours to choose from including Glacier, Rock Green, Pistachio and Soft Plum plus you get three frame sizes (50cm, 54cm and 58cm).<\/p>\n

Along with the standard version, there is also the Nova Pro, which features a more active riding position, 10-speed gears, and a rear carrier (that\u2019s an optional extra on the entry-level Nova).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s lots to like. The only slight sticking point might be its price.<\/p>\n

Like all e-bikes, the Ampler Nova is not cheap. Prices start at over \u20ac3,000\u2014that’s around \u00a32,600\u2014and the Pro will set you back \u20ac3,490.<\/p>\n

If that hasn’t put you off, then you can pre-order now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anyone who has been thinking about joining the e-bike revolution might want to take a look at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2065,2066,2067,53,16,15,2068],"class_list":{"0":"post-3586","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ampler-nova","9":"tag-e-bike","10":"tag-electric-bike","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-usb-c-charging"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114290594277268878","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
