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.
