This E-Bike Shares a Charger With Your Laptop and Smartphone

The future of mobility is electric, and e-bikes are right in the thick of it. They’re weaving into our daily lives, whether it’s for commuting, errands, or just a fun weekend ride. So it begs the question: if your laptop, smartphone, tablet, action cam, and even vape all charge via USB-C, why can’t your e-bike?

That’s the question Ampler seems to be answering with its new Nova series. The Estonia-based brand just launched two fresh e-bikes, the Nova and Nova Pro, and they both come with USB-C PD 3.1 charging. Yes, actual USB-C, like the kind on your MacBook. You can top up the 48V 336Wh integrated battery from zero to full in around three hours using a 140W USB-C charger.

That's quick, and more importantly, convenient.
