For those who are curious about e-bikes, conversion kits can open up a new world of riding.
A British start-up called Skarper is already moving the needle in this direction.
The Skarper motor aims to give you the benefits of an e-bike with as little hassle as possible.
Bikes with a 140mm rotor will work with the Skarper when using an inexpensive brake caliper adapter.
Or they don’t want to transform what they currently ride into a mechanical abomination.
It can also be easily removed, returning the bike to its original configuration.
