The 1,500W Avinox M2S motor, which recently disrupted the e-MTB market, is making its road debut on the Megamo Upon road bike. This marks the first time the high-torque system has been integrated into a road-focused chassis rather than an off-road platform.
The bike's maximum speed with power assistance will still be limited by local laws (15.5mph/25kmh in the UK and EU), but the claimed 1,500W peak power and 150Nm of torque will mean riders get a dramatic helping hand on the likes of steep ascents.
