Co-founded by three friends who grew up in Estonia, the brand is built around the trio's interests and needs. The Ampler Hawk works when the rider starts pedaling and matches the power that the rider applies -- making pedaling much easier and allowing quicker rides to destinations. The electronic bike has a range of up to 100 kilometers, making it ideal for those using it for longer commutes. The performance of the bike can also be tuned to the smallest detail on its accompanying app that features power and speed options. In the case of power loss or a low battery, the bike can be turned off to work as a standard one would. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Electronic Commuter Bikes:** Opportunity to develop newer and better versions of electronic bikes for urban commuters. - **Smart Biking Apps:** Opportunity to create connected apps that feature performance tracking and customization options. - **Long-distance E-bikes:** Opportunity to focus on longer battery life and greater range for e-bikes used for longer commutes. ### Where This Applies - **Bicycles and E-bikes:** Development of disruptive electronic bike innovations and custom apps for this sector. - **Transportation and Mobility:** E-bike innovations can transform urban commuting, creating new transportation and mobility markets. - **Green Technology:** Development of eco-friendly transportation with electric bikes, incorporating better battery technology, could change how people commute daily. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Torque-Sensing Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torquesensing-commuter-ebikes.md) - [Minimalist Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendler-1.md) - [Range-Roving Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rangeroving-commuter-ebike.md) - [Connected Urbanite Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pave-motors-bk-ebike.md) - [Functional Utility E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-40.md) - [Versatile Urban E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-urban-ebike.md) - [Hyper-Compact Commuter eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epopcycle.md) - [Sensitive Pedal E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-twin-920e.md) - [Intuitive Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fx-2.md)
