Hawk

The Hawk was one of Ampler's first two production models (alongside the Stellar) when the company launched in 2014-2016 — a single-speed e-commuter with a carbon racing fork, a hidden battery, and a stealth motor compact enough to be mistaken for a gear hub. It established the visual grammar that every later Ampler followed: an e-bike that looks like a normal bicycle from across the street. The 13.9 kg weight made it one of the lightest e-bikes in the world at the time, and the bike got Ampler onto Wired, Wallpaper and the Designboom front pages, which mattered for a small Tallinn startup trying to be taken seriously next to Bosch-powered German brands. The Hawk was phased out around 2017-2018 when the Curt absorbed and refined its single-speed concept. Surviving Hawks still appear on the Baltic second-hand market and are coveted by collectors who remember the early Ampler aesthetic.
