Ampler Unveils Nova and Nova Pro: The World’s First USB-C Chargeable E-Bikes With Built-In Frame Charging
Ampler, the Estonian e-bike maker known for its lightweight, hand-built bikes that blend minimalist design with everyday practicality, proudly presents its newest models: Nova and Nova Pro.
Created with urban families and modern commuters in mind, these new e-bikes introduce a major leap in convenience by offering fully embedded USB-C charging in the bike frame — a world first in the e-bike industry.
With Nova, Ampler continues to deliver on its promise of "electric boost, natural feel" while placing new emphasis on accessibility, repairability, and style. These bikes are thoughtfully built to fit seamlessly into everyday life and are designed to be easily maintained, widely compatible, and beautiful to ride.
USB-C charging: a new standard in e-bike convenience.
Nova and Nova Pro eliminate the need for bulky, proprietary chargers. Thanks to USB-C charging built directly into the frame, riders can top up their e-bike using a standard 140W laptop charger — the same one they use for their phone or computer. A quick 2.5-hour top-up is enough for most daily rides, while a full charge takes just 3.5 hours. These bikes are set to play a key role in reducing charger e-waste in the mobility sector. This forward-thinking approach aligns with the upcoming EU directive mandating USB-C charging for electronic devices starting in January 2026, helping tackle the 11,000 tonnes of e-waste generated annually from unused chargers.
The charging convenience is more than a technological upgrade — it offers real freedom. Whether you're working in a café, visiting family or on a city break, you can charge your bike anywhere — with one less thing to carry. The system also works in reverse, allowing the e-bike to charge smaller devices like mobile phones.
About Nova and Nova Pro
Nova and Nova Pro share Ampler’s core values but offer two distinct riding experiences.
Nova is the perfect gateway into the world of e-bikes. Designed for effortless city riding, it combines simplicity, comfort and style for everyday use. With wide 27.5” tires and a 9-speed MicroSHIFT drivetrain, it’s ideal for relaxed, stable urban commuting.
Nova Pro is built for those who want more — more distance, more performance, more adventure. Featuring 28” sportier wheels, premium industry-leading components, a low-maintenance Gates Carbon belt drive and a 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain, it delivers a smooth, powerful ride for riders who want to go further without compromise.
Both models are available in high-step and low-step frames, offered in multiple sizes. They’re designed to be highly adaptable, giving riders the freedom to personalize their bike with accessories, upgrades and enhancements — from saddles to child seats — to truly make it their own.
Sustainable, serviceable, and built to last
Ampler is committed to building bikes that are easy to love and easy to live with. Nova and Nova Pro feature standard e-bike components from trusted brands like MicroSHIFT, Shimano, Gates, Continental, Panaracer and Selle Italia. This ensures they can be serviced at almost any bike shop across Europe, by Ampler service partners or even at home.
The bikes are hand-assembled at Ampler’s own facility in Tallinn, which runs entirely on renewable energy. This local, sustainable production model reflects Ampler’s long-term commitment to environmental responsibility.
Inclusive by design: E-bikes for all riders, all lifestyles
Ampler’s new Nova line is a statement of inclusivity. Designed with all kinds of riders in mind — from solo commuters to busy parents — the bikes come in a range of frame sizes and riding styles to meet a wide variety of needs. The goal is simple: to build e-bikes for everyone.
In a bold move for 2025, Ampler is also putting a spotlight on women riders — a group often underrepresented in the e-bike market. Newly appointed CEO Eva Raigo shared her vision: "E-bikes need to reflect the diversity of their riders, and it's time we see more women not only riding but also designing these bikes."
