Bosch has launched its first hub motor, the Hub Line, targeting urban riders who want electric assist in a compact, lightweight package. Canyon and Vello are already on board, with both debuting Hub Line bikes at Eurobike next week.

After leaving the competition scrambling with the launch of a powerful ebike drive system in 2024, DJI brand Avinox is set to do it all again with a second-generation flavor designed to beat every rival on power, torque, and weight.

When you think of glass, you probably picture something fragile and brittle, not a material built for high-stress electromechanical components. Yet researchers are significantly improving the efficiency of electric motors by using “glass” parts!

The axial flux electric motor pioneers at YASA are at it again. Just three months after sending tremors through the electric motor market with an unofficial world-record power density that trounced the nearest competitor, it's bested its own mark.

I'm a sucker for a good "reinventing the wheel" story, and David Henson's 'SurfacePlan' concept is an odd a take on one of humanity's greatest inventions as we've seen in a long time. It's designed to replace engines and drivetrains altogether.

Remigo brought its 1,000-W electric boat drive to North America earlier this year. Now it launches a new flagship motor drive that puts out 50 percent more power without giving up the RemigoOne's classic blade-slim packaging or sub-30-lb weight.

After a year on the market, DJI is bringing its Amflow e-MTBs with high-performance Avinox e-drive to the US. But the Amflow PL's particular combination of 800+ watts, 120 Nm of torque and nearly 100 miles of range won't come cheap.

California-based Conifer’s rare-earth-free electric motors use iron instead of neodymium, cutting costs and also cutting China's supply-stranglehold out of the equation. And they look cool.

Mahle is reported to be one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive components. But the company also makes ebike motors and has now launched into the eMTB space with a mid-drive claimed to be "one of the most powerful systems on the market."

YASA adds to the growing hype around axial flux electric motors, announcing the opening of a "super factory" to boost production. The potent pancake motors will find their way into world-class vehicles from marques like Lamborghini.

There's no replacement for displacement. An adage that's been around as long as the combustion engine, really. But these age-old sayings don't really apply anymore when it comes to electric motors.

Joining the recent American launch of the RemigoOne e-drive, Temo is introducing its own sleek, clamp-and-ride electric outboard. While similar to the RemigoOne, the Temo 1000 offers a few advantages, including a swappable battery pack.
