The Best of Both Worlds.
eBike Power, Your Bloved Bike

You've already got an eBike; you just don't know it yet.

Skarper preserves your bike's familiar feel while delivering electrifying performance.
Say goodbye to complex conversions and bulky eBikes, and say hello to seamless integration, With Skarpet's elegent clink-on system, your bike feels just like your bike-lighter, high performance, and without compromises.

Does the Skarper unit fit any bike?

Skarper is designed to fit disc brake bikes and has been tested on a wide selection of bicycle frames. The current Skarper unit fits bikes that can accept a 160mm disc rotor. If your bike has a 140mm rotor and you would like to use the Skarper eBike drive unit, a bike shop should be able to adapt your bicycle to Skarper’s 160mm rotor using an off-the-shelf 140mm to 160mm calliper adaptor – which can be purchased online or in most bike shops.

How do I charge the unit? What's the range?

Skarper charges fully in 2.5 hours with a range of up to 50km in Eco mode. 30 minutes of charging will give 10 – 15 km of range.

Does Skarper work for off-road riding?

Skarper is purpose-built and has been rigorously tested for city commuting, road cycling, light off-road trails, and gravel riding. Our eBike drive system is designed to fit any bike with a 160mm rear disc rotor including gravel and hardtail mountain bikes. If you have a mountain bike with a 180mm rotor, it may be possible for a bike shop to change your rotor size to160mm.We do not recommend using Skarper for full-suspension bikes, or riding in extreme downhill or cross-country mountain biking. In the future, we will be developing an MTB specific version – this will be a 180/200mm rotor size so as to be compatible with the vast majority of mountain bikes and cross-country bikes.

Can the bike be ridden like a normal bicycle once the eBike drive system is connected?

Skarper can be unclipped from your bike in seconds to ride the bike again normally. In addition, you can also ride the bike regularly with Skarper’s eBike drive system still attached and turned off or in pause mode. We designed the system to have a built-in free wheel so there is minimal drag from Skarper allowing you to go on a normal ride and only activate the eBike Drive System during the times you require extra help on your cycle.

How does the unit detect the required assistance level?

We developed DynamicClimb® – a bespoke algorithm using a wireless pedal sensor and a suite of sensors inside the Skarper that measures the rider’s output, road incline and the speed of the drive unit to provide the support you need. All you need to do is attach our pedal sensor to the left pedal crank.

Read more about it on the Skarper Tecnology page https://skarper.com/tech-page/

How do you change modes?

All controls are on the User Interface on your Skarper, where you can change between Turbo, Cruise, and Eco modes.
You can even backpedal three times to send Skarper to Pause mode. In Pause mode Skarper is turned on but does not provide assistance, allowing you to enjoy riding your bike as you would normally. When you feel you need some assistance, simply backpedal three times again and Skarper will wake up and return to providing assistance.
It is not possible to change support modes while riding at the moment, however the adaptive power delivery of Skarper that takes into account the road conditions including your incline meaning that whatever mode you enjoy riding, you do not need to go back and forth between modes to adapt to changing road conditions as you might with other eBikes.
We have future plans for an add-on control unit and an app for changing control on your phone, so stay tuned.

Does Skarper's eBike drive system slow down or drop out at 25 km/h?

Our eBike drive system will not provide support above 25 km/h as it complies with UK and EU regulations. However, it will not resist your efforts either. We engineered a very efficient freewheel into the system so there is minimal drag from the motor and you can easily cycle over 25km/h.
