SONDORS, a once-prominent player in the e-bike and e-motorcycle industry, is making a comeback attempt with the launch of a new eMoto called the Meta AT through an Indiegogo campaign. The brand, known for its iconic branding, faced closure in 2023 after several questionable business decisions, leaving many customers without their orders for the never-delivered Metacycle. Despite its past challenges, SONDORS’ new release boasts a powerful motor, high speed, and long range, appealing to adrenaline enthusiasts.
Shimano introduced a groundbreaking automatic shifting system, the Q’Auto, designed for its CUES drivetrain. This innovative technology, housed in a rear wheel hub, features sensors for speed, cadence, and gradient, along with a self-charging lithium-ion capacitor. The system employs advanced algorithms to make precise shifting decisions based on rider input, promising a seamless riding experience. With compatibility for manual shifting override and learning capabilities, the Q’Auto system is set to revolutionize gear shifting on analog bikes.
British startup Micro Mobility Labs unveiled the Convoy electric cargo trailer, a versatile attachment that transforms any bike into an e-cargo machine. Equipped with a battery-powered motor, the trailer offers pedal assistance up to 16 mph and a range of 19 miles. With user-friendly features like side storage compartments, an integrated cargo rack, and a motorized self-steering system, the Convoy provides a practical solution for transporting goods. Its compact design and compatibility with a mobile app enhance its appeal for urban commuters.
While SONDORS’ resurgence and Shimano’s cutting-edge technology mark significant developments in the e-bike industry, Micro Mobility Labs’ innovative cargo trailer introduces a new dimension to urban mobility. These advancements reflect the ongoing evolution of electric transportation, catering to diverse consumer needs and preferences. As the market continues to expand, the convergence of design, performance, and sustainability in electric bikes and accessories will shape the future of urban commuting and recreational cycling.
