Rapidly Charging Electric Bicycle Unveiled by Morelle
Fast-Charging Morelle E-bike Revolutionizes the Electric Bicycle Market
Morelle, a trailblazing company in the electric bicycle industry, is set to redefine the way we think about e-bikes with its groundbreaking fast-charging technology. The company, founded by battery scientist Kevin Hays, tech developer Michael Sinkula, and renowned bicycle designer Gary Fisher, is poised to release its innovative e-bike in the first quarter of 2026.
At the heart of Morelle's e-bike is a breakthrough silicon-based fast-charging battery that promises to revolutionize the charging experience for e-bike users. This advanced battery technology allows for charging at exceptionally high rates of 1,000 to over 1,500 watts, enabling a full recharge in under 15 minutes—far surpassing typical e-bike charge rates of 100 to 300 watts.
The secret to this rapid charging lies in the use of advanced materials and a machine learning system. Morelle replaces the conventional graphite anode with a silicon-based anode, which can store up to ten times more energy than graphite, increasing energy density and allowing high-power, ultra-fast charging without compromising battery life. To further optimize the battery's performance, Morelle has developed a proprietary machine learning model that remotely monitors the battery condition in real-time. This model dynamically optimizes the battery’s performance and extends service life based on individual usage patterns.
Morelle's e-bike is not just about speedy charging; it also boasts a lightweight design and impressive performance. Weighing around 30 pounds (13.6 kg), the e-bike places it in the lightweight category. It features a high-torque mid-motor that offers pedal-assist speeds up to 28 mph (45 km/h). The battery, designed to handle fast charging for around 1,000 charge cycles, is expected to be further improved to increase longevity.
Morelle envisions their battery tech not only for e-bikes but also for robotics and micromobility devices, emphasizing the benefit of fast charging to expand practical daily use of electric vehicles and robots. The company's co-founders previously worked together at Ionblox, a company developing batteries for electric VTOL aircraft.
Interested customers can make a refundable reservation for the Morelle E-bike for $50. The expected starting price for the e-bike is around $3,000. With its combination of breakthrough technology, rapid convenience, and durability, Morelle's e-bike represents a significant advancement in the e-bike industry.
