At Ampler, we’ve been thinking about how to make riding an e-bike feel easier, greener, and just more convenient—something that blends right into your everyday life. That’s why we created the world’s first USB-C chargeable e-bikes: the new Ampler Nova and Ampler Nova Pro. These bikes aren’t just a step forward in technology — they’re a leap towards a smarter, more sustainable way to move through the city.
USB-C charging gives you the freedom to plug in almost anywhere, so you’re not tied to one spot. While that convenience is a game-changer for riders, the sustainability impact is even bigger—fewer cables, less e-waste, and one step closer to a cleaner way to commute.
One Charger for Everything
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.
- Full charge in just 3 hours with the 140W charger
- Compatible with most laptop and multi-device USB-C chargers
- Minimum required: 30W (20V, 1.5A)
- Recommended: 65W–140W for optimal performance
- Supports charging via USB-C power banks (30W+)
Whether you’re at home, at the office, in a café, or staying with friends — all you need is one standard cable. No more dragging around a separate charger or worrying about special plugs.
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’s no outlet in sight.
Charge Anywhere. Ride Everywhere.
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—no extra gear required. Whether you’re commuting, working from a café, visiting friends, or on a weekend trip, one standard cable is all you need.
You can charge your Ampler e-bike:
- At your desk, using your laptop charger
- At a friend’s place, without bringing a special charger
- On a train or a park, with a USB-C power bank
Yes, really! You can use a power bank like a portable, removable battery when you’re on the go.
No more stressing about running out of battery mid-day. No more waiting until you’re home. And no more carrying around a heavy charger. Just plug it wherever you are—with the gear you already carry.
That’s 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.
Future-Proof, EU-Compliant and Designed to Reduce E-Waste
Every year, Europe alone generates an estimated 11,000 tonnes of charger-related e-waste—much 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.
Starting in 2026, a new EU directive will require USB-C as the universal standard for small and mid-sized electronic devices. While this regulation doesn’t yet include e-bikes, we chose to lead rather than wait. By aligning early with the standard, we’re not only reducing clutter and waste—we’re making everyday mobility simpler and more sustainable for riders everywhere.
Choosing a Nova today means choosing a ride that’s ready for tomorrow.
Built for Real Life
But this isn’t just about a USB-C port. With Nova and Nova Pro, we’ve rethought the e-bike from top to bottom. We chose durable, high-quality standard components from world class manufacturers—making the bikes not only easier to service at any local bike shop, but also more reliable in the long run. Whether you’re adding a child seat, changing the saddle, or mounting a ring lock, these bikes are designed to adapt to everyday life—with no fuss.
While comfort and everyday usability were our top priorities, we didn’t 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.
- Nova is for relaxed city commutes and everyday comfort. With an upright riding position, soft 27.5” tires, and 9-speed MicroSHIFT gearing, Nova is ideal for first-time e-bikers or anyone who values simplicity, control, and a smooth ride from day one.
- Nova Pro is for longer rides and riders who expect more. With a more active geometry, Baramind shock-absorbing handlebar, fast-rolling 28” wheels, and premium components like a Gates Carbon belt or 10-speed Shimano Deore, it offers greater performance without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re commuting, touring on the weekend, or simply want a more refined ride, Nova Pro is built to deliver.
