Megamo's Along 01 is an electric gravel bike for riders who want more support on steep off-road climbs, with motor assist reaching 150 Nm. It also carries a 600 Wh battery, giving it a larger energy reserve than the small packs often used in lightweight e-road bikes.
A display set into the top tube keeps ride data visible without cluttering the bars. The carbon frame pairs an Avinox M2S drive with SRAM Force XPLR AXS wireless shifting across 13 gears. Riders can also swap the rigid fork for a DT Swiss F132 One unit with 40 mm of travel without changing the fit.
At €7,999 and in Megamo's European markets, the Along 01 widens the e-gravel pitch beyond lightweight race builds. Its big battery and climb-first tuning shift buyer attention toward distance and ascent support rather than shaving every gram.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- High-torque E-gravel
- Power-dense gravel platforms are reframing off-road cycling around steep-climb capability, creating space for premium bikes optimized for assist strength rather than minimal weight.
- Long-range Adventure Batteries
- Larger onboard energy reserves are expanding expectations for mixed-terrain rides, opening opportunities for endurance-focused designs that support remote routes and multi-hour elevation gains.
- Integrated Cockpit Displays
- Top-tube data interfaces are reducing handlebar clutter while preserving ride visibility, signaling demand for cleaner human-machine integration in performance bicycles.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Electric Bicycles
- The rise of climb-first e-gravel models points to a higher-performance segment where motor torque, battery capacity, and component integration become key differentiators.
- Outdoor Recreation
- More capable electric gravel bikes are broadening access to demanding terrain, reshaping adventure cycling around longer, steeper, and less accessible routes.
- Cycling Components
- Wireless drivetrains, optional suspension forks, and compact display systems illustrate a component ecosystem increasingly tailored to modular premium e-bike builds.
