Skarper
Click-on, click-off eBike drive system
Skarper has developed the world’s first click-on, click-off eBike drive system, engineered in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies. It is wire-free and seamlessly integrates into your bike’s disc brake mechanism with no modification to the frame or wheels. Once Skarper’s patented DiskDrive is installed, click on the motor for an eBike experience and click it off to return to a regular bike in seconds. Backed by 6x Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy, Skarper has secured £12.8m in investment, attracted 25,000+ subscribers, and generated interest from 150+ distributors across six continents, validating its market-disrupting potential.
