Ampler Bikes grows fast in Europe while its bikes get lighter and add features

Berlin/Tallinn - Februari 2019 - Ampler Bikes, an e-bike company who is on a mission to create better commuting experiences has taken Europe by storm. By more than doubling headcount and revenue in the past year, opening a showroom in Berlin, and launching fresh model updates in 2019, Ampler Bikes is making headway in removing both physical and mental barriers to cycling for urban commuters everywhere.

Ampler bikes are built and designed in a way that they would expand your capabilities, not replace them. In short, the bikes amplify your speed, power and range and make you willing to go further on a bicycle. The lightest of the updated Ampler models comes in featherweight (13.5 kg) while fully equipped with lights, mudguards and puncture-protected tyres, making it ready to take on whatever the streets throw at commuters, from broken glass to hills, wind and stairs.

Whilst Ampler Curt charms with its racer looks and light weight, the modern city commuters Stellar and Stout exhibit more comfort and versatility on all road types and riding situations. The two bikes will be introducing new colourways and receiving high-quality component upgrades, including Shimano Deore shifters and brakes, puncture-protected tyres, mudguards, integrated lights and rear carriers. A significant change for all models comes in the software running the electronics – the firmware optimisation brings better hill-climbing ability to the bikes, and makes the assist feel smoother and more powerful.

2018 was a big year for Ampler Bikes with the company expanding its production capability, opening the first flagship store in Berlin and more than doubling its headcount. This growth has made it possible for Ampler to start offering fast shipping times of 4-7 working days to everywhere in Europe in the spring of 2019.

The Ampler Bikes team is visiting 18 events in 5 countries in 2019 to introduce their bikes in person to the public, and introducing an expanded test ride scheme in March. Keep an eye on their event calendar (LINK) to see where you could go and test ride the new bikes.
