New Pole Voima eMTB with a Brose Drive S Mag motor and 725 Wh battery

Finnish bike manufacturer Pole open a new chapter in the company’s history and present the new Pole Voima eMTB with a Brose Drive S Mag motor and 725 Wh battery. Read on to find out everything you need to know.

Pole, known for its mountain bike frames manufactured from milled aluminium, are now expanding their product range with the new Pole Voima eMTB. At its heart sits the Brose Drive S Mag motor producing 90 Nm torque. Strikingly, the motor is completely enclosed by the frame, affording it additional protection. The battery, which can be removed from the top of the downtube, is supplied by German battery specialist BMZ and has a capacity of 725 Wh. The frame has a new suspension design with raised chainstays, which is supposed to prevent chain slap. The suspension is designed for 190 mm travel, meaning that the frame, machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, is compatible with a dual-crown fork at the front and both air shocks and coil shocks at the rear.

The new Pole Voima comes in four sizes, labelled K1–K4. Initially, framesets will only be available in sizes K2 and K3 and are priced at € 5,490. Complete builds will follow starting at € 8,490, with production scheduled to start this autumn. The BMZ battery will also be available from Pole. A € 200 deposit will secure you a production slot at Pole’s in-house CNC-milling factory in Finland.

  • 190 mm suspension travel
  • Brose S Mag Motor and BMZ V10 725 Wh battery (4-year manufacturer warranty on the motor)
  • Battery installed from the top of the downtube
  • Power inlet close to the headtube, positioned away from the elements
  • Raised chainstays
  • Brose motor completely enclosed in the frame and protected from the elements
  • Disc rotor mounted speed sensor
  • Two bottle mounts, one underneath and one on top of the downtube
  • Claimed to be the only 7075-T6 aluminium-framed ebike in the world
  • An exclusive Pole suspension platform and design.

We are looking forward to seeing the new Pole Voima in action and testing it ourselves.

About the author

Rudolf Fischer

In his previous life Rudolf was a dab hand at promoting innovation, putting his brain behind big-ticket patent assessments that easily ran into six-or-seven-plus figures. These days, the self-confessed data nerd’s role as editor at DOWNTOWN and E-MOUNTAINBIKE is no less exciting. Given his specialism in connectivity, Rudolf’s often placed on the front line of future mobility conversations, but he’s also big into testing new bikes–both on the daily as a committed commuter and intensively for our group tests. The business economist graduate is as versatile as a Swiss penknife, and that’s no hyperbole. Away from two wheels, his background in parkour means he’s a master of front, side and backflips, plus he speaks German, English, French, Russian and a touch of Esperanto. Japanese remains woefully unmastered, despite his best home-learning attempts. Good to know: Rudolf’s sharp tongue has made him a figure of fear in the office, where he’s got a reputation for flexing a dry wittiness à la Ricky Gervais... interestingly, he's usually the one laughing hardest.
