Megamo Along 01 Debuts as a High-Power Electric Gravel Bike With 150 Nm Torque and 600 Wh Battery
The Megamo Along 01 has arrived as a serious new option for riders who want the speed and efficiency of a gravel bike with the climbing power of a high-performance e-bike. Built around a carbon frame, a large battery, and a powerful motor system, this electric gravel bike is designed for long-distance adventures, steep climbs, and mixed-terrain riding without sacrificing premium components.
Gravel bikes are often described as road bikes made tougher for off-road use. They typically use wider tires with deeper tread, giving riders more grip and control on dirt paths, forest roads, loose gravel, and uneven surfaces. However, turning a traditional road bike into an electric gravel bike is not as simple as adding a motor. The frame and fork must offer enough clearance for wider tires, while the geometry needs to remain stable and comfortable across rough terrain.
The Megamo Along 01 focuses more on power and endurance than ultra-lightweight design. At the heart of the bike is the Avinox M2S motor system, which delivers up to 150 Nm of boost torque. That is an impressive figure for an electric gravel bike and gives the Along 01 the strength to handle steep ascents with confidence. Riders tackling mountain roads, long gravel climbs, or demanding off-road routes should benefit from the strong pedal assistance.
Battery capacity is another major highlight. While many lightweight electric road bikes use compact batteries around 250 Wh to keep weight down, the Megamo Along 01 comes equipped with a much larger 600 Wh battery. This makes it better suited for longer rides, extended touring, and routes where charging opportunities may be limited. The larger battery should also appeal to riders who want dependable range when using higher assistance levels on challenging terrain.
The carbon frame helps balance the added weight of the motor and battery while maintaining a premium ride feel. Although Megamo has not yet confirmed the total weight of the Along 01, the motor and battery alone weigh more than five kilograms. That means this model is clearly aimed at riders who prioritize power, range, and versatility over the lowest possible weight.
For the drivetrain, Megamo equips the Along 01 with a 13-speed SRAM Force XPLR AXS wireless groupset. This setup is designed specifically for gravel riding, offering precise electronic shifting and a wide gear range for varied terrain. Whether riding fast on paved roads, grinding up steep gravel climbs, or cruising along rough tracks, the drivetrain should provide smooth and reliable performance.
The bike comes standard with a rigid carbon fork, keeping the front end efficient and responsive. However, riders who want extra comfort and control on rougher routes can choose a DT Swiss F132 One suspension fork with 40 mm of travel. Importantly, this upgrade does not change the bike’s geometry or riding position, allowing owners to add front suspension without compromising the intended handling characteristics.
With its 150 Nm motor, 600 Wh battery, carbon construction, wireless 13-speed drivetrain, and optional suspension fork, the Megamo Along 01 is positioned as a premium electric gravel bike for demanding riders. It is built for those who want to ride farther, climb harder, and explore more challenging routes without worrying about range or power.
The Megamo Along 01 has a recommended retail price of €7,999 and is primarily aimed at European markets. For gravel enthusiasts looking for a high-end e-bike with serious torque and long-distance capability, it could be one of the more exciting new electric gravel bikes to watch.
