A new and powerful mid-drive motor for e-bikes is about to be launched. It promises exceptionally high performance, providing strong assistance on challenging sections. It is also said to respond quickly to the rider’s input.
Although not as well-known in the e-bike sector as Bosch, a variety of e-bikes are nonetheless equipped with Ananda-developed components such as motors, batteries and control panels. The manufacturer has now unveiled a new motor, the M7600, which is distinguished by its particularly high performance. A peak output of 850 watts is specified, at least when using the 36-volt system, while the continuous rated output is limited to 250 watts. The manufacturer has not yet specified the peak or continuous output rates of the 48-volt model. The peak 850-watt output is used, for example, when starting off or climbing hills.
The motor boasts a maximum torque of 120 Nm, making it one of the most powerful mid-drive motors available, at least on paper. Ananda advertises the motor as being suitable for trails and steep climbs, and the cooling system is said to be specifically designed for e-mountain bikes. Integrated pedal sensors and torque sensors allow the motor to respond to the rider’s actual pedaling effort. According to Ananda, the sensor system reacts exceptionally quickly and virtually without any noticeable delay.
Weighing 2.8 kg (6.17 lb), the motor is not particularly lightweight, but it does support app connectivity. No concrete product announcements for e-bikes equipped with this new motor have been made yet. The product page can be accessed here.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
