Does it fit your bike? Let's find out:
Great!
Skarper will fit your bike.
Skarper's DiskDrive® rotor has a 160mm outside diameter and comes in both centerlock and six-bolt versions. Before receiving your Skarper you will be asked to choose which rotor you require.
If your DiskDrive® rotor doesn't fit on your bike, a bike shop can easily fix that for you.
If your bike has a 140mm rotor you can adapt your bike by using an inexpensive off-the-shelf 140mm to 160mm calliper adaptor.
Don't worry,
We've got your back.
Depending on your bike's model and age, minor adjustments may be required.
After receiving your Skarper, visit our network of Certified Installers who can make the necessary adjustments ensuring that you will leave with a Skarper smile!
Kickstands should be removed from chainstay.
Under pedal crank kickstands are compatible.
Unusual geometry around the drop-out may clash with Skarper.
No worries! We're here to help and would love to hear from you.

Skarper is designed to fit disc brake bikes and has been tested on a wide selection of frames. The current Skarper unit fits bikes with 160mm disc rotors. If your bike has a 140mm rotor and you would like to use Skarper, you can adapt your bike to Skarper’s 160mm rotor using an inexpensive off-the-shelf 140mm to 160mm calliper adaptor which can be purchased online or in most bike shops. Skarper is designed to work with 26-29" wheels.
Skarper gives you the flexibility to create your own high quality eBike while maintaining the ability to ride your bike normally whenever you choose. In terms of weight, power, and overall experience, a regular bike powered by a Skarper unit compares favourably to more expensive eBikes. Skarper is produced with high quality components, strong attention to detail and rigorous quality control.
The unit comes with its own charger and you charge it the same way you would charge your laptop or phone. Skarper can be charged while on or off your bike. In 2.5 hours Skarper is fully charged with a range of up to 50km in eco mode. 30 minutes of charging will give 10 - 15 km of range.
The battery is built into your Skarper and cannot be replaced. If you need to service your battery you can send it back to us or an authorised Skarper service centre and have it replaced.
Skarper can be taken off your bike in seconds and then you can ride it just like a normal bike. In addition, you can also ride the bike normally with Skarper connected and turned off. We designed the system to have a built in free-wheel so there is minimal drag from Skarper.
Our cycling experts have carefully tested the balance of a bike with Skarper attached. The weight of the Skarper is similar to the drive chain system on the right hand side of the bike (Skarper mounts on the left). Just like you do not feel the weight of the derailleur - you will not notice the weight of the Skarper. This is because the unit is lightweight and is mounted low and close to the bike's centre of gravity.
There is no effect on the frame or wheels. Disc brake bicycles already exert huge forces on the brake calipers on the chainstay. The force applied by Skarper is much lower in comparison.
A bike shop will change a disc brake rotor for you in 5 minutes. If you want to do it yourself, for an inexperienced cyclist, it should take about 10-15 min.
We developed DynamicClimb® - a bespoke algorithm using a suite of wireless sensors, that measures the rider’s output, road incline and the performance of the drive unit to provide the support you need. All you need to do is attach our wireless sensor to the pedal crank.
NO. The braking surface remains unaffected and the disc rotor behaves exactly as a regular disc brake rotor. The driving force is applied to a gearbox built into a recess within the disc - not directly to the braking surface.
All controls are on the UI on the face of the unit, where you can change between turbo, city, and eco modes. We do have future plans for an add-on control unit and an app for changing control on your phone, so stay tuned.
Skarper is available to reserve by pre-ordering on this website. After paying the £95.00 (or £155.00) deposit, you will be informed via email when the remainder of the pre-order payment is due (the deposit amount is deducted from the total payment). Delivery is expected before the end of 2024.
Skarper is the ultimate embodiment of eco-friendly transportation.
By harnessing electric energy and repurposing existing bikes, we actively reduce our carbon footprint, making it one of the most sustainable modes of transportation available.
In just a click, your eBike is ready. Freedom with no compromise. High performance engineering that is compact, simple to use, and packs a punch.
Lightweight, compact, and easy to detach in a click.
Carry your Skarper with you.
