| M7600: New, powerful mid-drive motor especially for e-MTBs. |
While names like Bosch and Shimano often dominate the headlines in the electric bike world, a significant portion of the market quietly relies on the components from a key player: Ananda. From motors to batteries and displays, their technology powers a wide array of e-bikes. Now, the company is stepping boldly into the spotlight with the introduction of its new M7600 mid-drive motor, a unit that promises to deliver serious power for demanding riders.
At first glance, the specs are attention-grabbing. Ananda states that when running on a 36V system, the M7600 can hit a peak power output of 850 watts, providing that critical burst for launching from a stop or tackling a sudden steep incline. Its continuous rated power remains at the road-legal 250W in many regions. While figures for a 48V configuration are still under wraps, the headline number is the torque: a massive 120 Newton-meters.
This places the Ananda M7600, on paper, among the most powerful mid-drive options available, directly targeting the e-mountain bike (e-MTB) segment. Ananda markets the motor as built for "trails and steep climbs," boasting a cooling system engineered to handle the sustained effort of off-road riding.
Beyond raw power, the system emphasizes responsiveness. It integrates both cadence and torque sensors, allowing the motor to measure not just if you're pedaling, but how hard you're pedaling. The company claims this sensor system delivers exceptionally quick reaction with "virtually no noticeable delay," aiming for a natural, intuitive ride feel that serious cyclists demand.

Of course, power comes with a trade-off. The motor's weight is listed at 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs), which isn't class-leading in the lightweight category but is competitive for a high-torque unit. Modern features aren't forgotten, as the M7600 will support connectivity with a companion app, likely for tuning assist levels, viewing diagnostics, and receiving firmware updates.
The big question now is: which bikes will get it? Ananda has not yet announced any specific e-bike brand partnerships or models that will feature the M7600 motor. Its adoption will be the true test of its performance and reliability. If it delivers on its promises, this new motor could be a compelling alternative, offering bike manufacturers a powerful, feature-rich drive system that lets them compete aggressively in the high-performance e-MTB arena. The trail, it seems, is about to get a new contender.
