While most laptop chargers operate on USB-C Power Delivery 3.0, Nova steps it up with 3.1. This upgrade opens the door to faster, more flexible charging, a big leap forward for Ampler and the future of e-bike energy systems.<\/p>\nSiim S\u00fclla, Firmware and Electronics Team Lead<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n What makes a USB-C e-bike truly different? It gives you freedom. Forget bulky, proprietary chargers. Nova and Nova Pro feature USB-C charging built directly into the frame, meaning you can power up your e-bike using the same charger you already use for your laptop, phone, or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re at home, at the office, in a caf\u00e9, or staying with friends \u2014 all you need is one standard cable. No more dragging around a separate charger or worrying about special plugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it gets even better: Nova and Nova Pro can charge your other devices, too. Thanks to reverse charging, you can top up your smartphone or earbuds straight from your bike. Perfect for those moments when your phone is low and there\u2019s no outlet in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What sets Nova and Nova Pro apart is how easily they fit into your life. With USB-C charging integrated into the frame, you get the freedom to power up wherever life takes you\u2014no extra gear required. Whether you’re commuting, working from a caf\u00e9, visiting friends, or on a weekend trip, one standard cable is all you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can charge your Ampler e-bike:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, really! You can use a power bank like a portable, removable battery when you’re on the go. That\u2019s the kind of real-world flexibility that makes Nova and Nova Pro the ideal city e-bikes for urban commuting and everyday adventures. One that turns a good ride into a great one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every year, Europe alone generates an estimated 11,000 tonnes of charger-related e-waste<\/a><\/strong>\u2014much of it from unused or proprietary cables. By integrating USB-C charging directly into the frame, Nova and Nova Pro eliminate the need for special chargers, helping reduce that footprint from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting in 2026, a new EU directive will require USB-C as the universal standard<\/a><\/strong> for small and mid-sized electronic devices. While this regulation doesn\u2019t yet include e-bikes, we chose to lead rather than wait. By aligning early with the standard, we\u2019re not only reducing clutter and waste\u2014we\u2019re making everyday mobility simpler and more sustainable for riders everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choosing a Nova today means choosing a ride that\u2019s ready for tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But this isn\u2019t just about a USB-C port. With Nova and Nova Pro, we\u2019ve rethought the e-bike from top to bottom. We chose durable, high-quality standard components <\/strong>from world class manufacturers\u2014making the bikes not only easier to service at any local bike shop, but also more reliable in the long run. Whether you\u2019re adding a child seat, changing the saddle, or mounting a ring lock, these bikes are designed to adapt to everyday life\u2014with no fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While comfort and everyday usability were our top priorities, we didn\u2019t compromise on what makes Ampler an Ampler: timeless design, durable built, and smart connectivity that integrates seamlessly into modern life.Both models are lightweight, weatherproof, and agile, making them ideal urban e-bikes that can be ridden in all seasons. Whether you’re commuting to work, running errands, or heading to the park, Nova and Nova Pro are made to fit seamlessly into your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ampler e-bikes are all about how the ride feels. Come take one for a spin and see how an Ampler Nova fits into your life.
