German e-bike innovation leader Urtopia is set to steal the spotlight at CES 2025, unveiling some of the most groundbreaking cycling technology in the industry. The highlight? The Quark DM 1.2 e-bike motor, the smallest and most powerful motor of its kind in the world.
Weighing just 2.6 lbs (1,200 g) and small enough to fit in your pocket, the Quark motor delivers exceptional performance. It boasts a torque of 48 ft-lb (65 Nm) and features a high-precision torque sensor for an ultra-smooth ride. With dynamic magnetic encoding providing unparalleled sensitivity and compatibility with hollow cranksets, this motor works seamlessly with most bicycles.
At CES, Urtopia will also debut its revolutionary Titanium Zero e-bike, a masterpiece of engineering with a fully 3D-printed titanium frame. Weighing only 23.8 lbs (10 kg), this bike combines a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio with cutting-edge features. Its solid-state battery achieves an energy density of 300 Wh/kg, while the bike itself is powered by the Quark motor. The Titanium Zero is outfitted with premium components, including carbon wheels, carbon forks, and a titanium alloy seatpost, and it supports traditional setups like SRAM’s 12-speed electronic shifter.
Adding a futuristic touch, Urtopia will introduce Urtopia GPT, the world’s first AI voice assistant for cycling, powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Building on the success of the company’s EUROBIKE 2023 ride chatbot, this assistant offers safety alerts, navigation guidance, and even motivational encouragement, elevating the cycling experience to new heights.
Meanwhile, Cy Cle, a leader in next-generation electric bikes, plans to showcase its innovative models, including the Carbon 1 Pro and Carbon Fold 1, both crafted from aerospace-grade carbon fiber for superior performance and a reduced environmental footprint.
