Ampler Launches World's First USB-C Charged E-Bikes

Ampler has launched the Nova and Nova Pro, the world's first electric bicycles featuring USB-C charging, allowing users to charge the bikes with the same charger used for laptops and smartphones. This innovation addresses the need for convenience and sustainability by eliminating proprietary chargers, potentially setting a new standard in the e-bike industry. The bikes can be charged fully in about three hours using a 140W USB-C charger, and they can also charge small devices like smartphones. With prices starting at €2,990 for the Nova and €3,490 for the Nova Pro, these models are designed with lightweight and minimalist aesthetics while integrating advanced technology. The introduction of USB-C aligns with the EU’s push for universal charging solutions, although the initial rollout is limited to Europe. Ampler's move is seen as a significant step towards reducing electronic waste and enhancing user convenience in urban mobility.
