Megamo Ryal with Avinox motor: From €3,999: DJI bike with removable battery

Opinion of the BIKE editorial team

Avinox bikes aren’t the only ones setting the benchmark for power. More and more affordable options with removable batteries are now coming onto the market. One of them is the Megamo Ryal. This Spanish model offers great value for money. We’re keen to see how it performs in our test!

​There are some exciting developments in the world of Avinox e-bikes. A feature that was exclusive to the Amflow TR just a few months ago is now appearing on more and more new bikes: the removable 800 battery for Avinox motors. Now the Spanish brand Megamo is also unveiling a bike with a removable battery. The Ryal deliberately sets itself apart from the sporty, competition-oriented Reason. Whilst both models rely on the same drive technology from Avinox, the Ryal takes a different approach: it combines genuine enduro capabilities with significantly greater everyday practicality.

Avinox system with a removable 800 Wh battery

The key distinguishing feature is the removable battery. Unlike most e-MTBs fitted with an Avinox motor, the 800 Wh battery can be removed from the frame – a feature that makes day-to-day use much easier. It can be charged at home or in the office without having to lift the whole bike. The reduced weight also makes a difference when transporting it in a car or storing it. The battery is removed using a lock integrated into the frame.

For the drive system, Megamo uses either the M2 or M2S motor from Avinox, depending on the model variant. The top-of-the-range version delivers up to 150 Nm of torque with a peak power output of 1,500 watts. There’s no skimping on capacity either – every model is fitted with the large 800 Wh battery.

More accessible geometry

When it comes to frame geometry, Megamo goes its own way. The Ryal has a less aggressive design than its sister model, the Reason. The head angle is steeper at 64.4 degrees (Reason: 63.5 degrees), the reach is shorter, and the stack is higher. The result is a more centred, upright riding position, which should be more comfortable, particularly on longer rides and for everyday use.

Particularly interesting: the size S has been designed to be significantly more compact than on the Reason, making the bike suitable for a wider range of rider heights. The wheelbase is slightly shorter overall, which should improve agility, whilst slightly longer chainstays provide greater stability.

When it comes to suspension, Megamo has opted for 160 millimetres at both the front and rear across the range – putting it on a par with classic enduro bikes. The aluminium frame is identical across all four model variants.

Four trim levels from 3,999 euros

The range starts at 3,999 euros with the Ryal 10, which features the M2 motor, a RockShox Psylo Silver fork and Shimano XT/Deore components. The mid-range models, the Ryal 08 (€4,499, M2) and Ryal 05 (€5,499, M2S), are distinguished by superior suspension components from RockShox and Fox, as well as SRAM drivetrains.

The top-of-the-range Ryal 03 AXS, priced at 6,999 euros, combines the more powerful M2S motor with Fox Factory suspension, a wireless SRAM S1000 Eagle AXS drivetrain and Shimano XT brakes. All versions are available in black, red and white.
