Ampler Nova and Nova Pro – the first electric bikes with USB-C charging

Ampler has introduced the world’s first electric bicycle that can be charged via USB-C. The manufacturer will offer two models – Nova and Nova Pro. Their key feature is the ability to charge via a USB-C cable at a power of 140 W. At the same time, the use of a branded adapter is not mandatory, any device with the appropriate power will do. Ampler’s adapter, which will cost €80, can also be used to charge a smartphone, but the power in this case will be limited to 15 W.

The charging port is built into the bike frame, next to a small screen that displays the battery level. A full charge will take about three hours. Both models are equipped with a 250 W motor and can reach speeds of up to 25 km/h. The bikes are available in several colors. The Nova will cost €2,990 in the European market, and the Nova Pro will cost €3,490. Sales will start in the summer, but you can place an order now.
