Askoll, a leader in technological innovation since 1978, has consistently brought energy-saving synchronous technology to electric motors. Initially used in aquariums, this revolutionary advancement quickly found its way into home appliances, heating systems, and e-mobility. Building on their legacy, Askoll is now taking a step further with the launch of Askoll Ultra, a brand solely dedicated to the development of power units for e-MTBs.
At the forefront of this new brand is the Askoll Ultra C90A, the first power unit specifically designed for e-MTB use. With its compact and highly efficient design, it delivers exceptional performance. Boasting a peak power of 1,200 W and a maximum torque of 110 Nm, it operates optimally between 60 to 80 rpm. The motor offers five assistance levels, as well as walk assistance and unassisted modes, providing support ranging from 70% to 450% of the expressed force. Its patented 4-axis construction makes the motor remarkably lightweight, weighing only 2.9 kg, despite being made with traditional materials like aluminum.
Complementing the power unit is the Askoll InTube battery, an in-house developed lithium-ion battery. Drawing upon the company’s expertise in electric mobility, the InTube battery enhances motor efficiency and system performance. With its extruded aluminum body, waterproof shock-resistant connectors, and compact design, it is both durable and reliable. Available in 630 Wh and 500 Wh sizes, these batteries are not only lightweight but also charge rapidly. The 500 Wh model, for example, can reach full charge in just about 3 hours, with a 25% to 80% charge in a mere 1.5 hours. Additionally, the motor is compatible with third-party batteries, allowing for flexibility and adaptability.
To provide a seamless riding experience, Askoll introduces the Sigma control center. Through the ergonomic multifunctional EOX Remote 500 controller, riders can easily manage and control important information such as assistance levels, battery status, and error messages. With Bluetooth and Ant+ capabilities, this controller allows riders to communicate directly with the system. For those seeking comprehensive control, the EOX Remote 500 is also compatible with 11 Sigma displays. Furthermore, riders can track their speed, distance, rider power, pedal cadence, and biomedical information through the Sigma Ride app, which facilitates sharing statistics and routes on various platforms like Komoot, Strava, and Training Peaks.
Askoll Ultra is spearheading a new era in e-MTB power units, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly interfaces and exceptional performance. With its focus on innovation and sustainability, Askoll continues to shape the future of electric mobility.
