Skarper announced its electric bike system in June 2022, showcasing a design that is attached via a disc brake rotor to electrify a regular bike – and now it’s going into production.
Skarper’s system, which comprises of a proprietary disc brake rotor and chainstay-mounted motor unit, intends to simplify the process of fitting an electric bike conversion kit.

Can somebody please tell me if this fits on a mountain bike because I have a 2013 giant revel hard tail 29 inch
Fine. Dont show the other side or how it works
Not finding a real person's review just corporate advertisement for the swindle
Price please
Awful video – gives you absolutely nothing
Can I brake
£1,400 ! And like 99% of ebikes and escooters it's manufactured in China for a fraction of the selling price.
And you'll have to use a centre-mounted prop-stand and your heel will chaff against it unless you pedal with your heel not your toes or the front of your foot.
And these kinda direct ebike drives always use a lot of highly-stressed gearing cogs and parts which need lubricating and which have to be improved from one generation to the next. Think Bosch and Banggood for instance…
Geez, at that cost you should just give the money to me and I will make you an ebike that goes 40 mph for 300 less…
You're wrong. It's not ANY bike. It's only bikes with a rear disk brake. If you can't get this basic fact right there's no trusting anything else in this video.
At £1200 i would buy an e bike
Can you ship india
Name ?
Its great you just click it onto your road bike & as Chris has ridden it i think the heel clearance would have been addressed.
please send me details where can I order
I want it only if the price is reasonable also unfortunately they have yet to be in California USA
Is there any amount of magic that would let me mount two of these one on each wheel?
👍🏾🥰
£1400 for this is a rip off maybe £500-600 I can buy a full high quality ebike for £1400
Please send the product link
Were could i buy it
Junk
Yea but range is lacking great idea but u need to try and have a connector to allow an extra battery to push range
Should add an xt connector to allow bigger battery to give more range
2025 £1900
Weak advertising… no info, no price, no charge time/run time, no top speed, no idea how its controlled, and you made very sure to not film the important side and how it actually attaches.
1/10 video review. Dont even know its NAME
Quite expensive, buy a new e-bike, it will be worth the same.
What is the name of this and where can I order one
Trust me ,you all are better off just buying an e bike as this piece of shit cost an arm and leg as the same goes how many ppl have you ever seen with this and it's been advertised about a couple or more yrs ago?!
How much
It’s called a , Scarper. Google it.
Great…so it fits any road bike with disc brakes and a thin chainstay. Now all it needs is to come with a disc brake wheel, clampon brake caliper, and a hacksaw to cut the chainstay of a regular bike so it fits. British ingenuity at its worst.
Wished they made life easier for people like myself that could make this just wish it was 72 volts to where you could keep the bike that you have make it go faster I like the idea of it but some one would make lots of money if it would go faster that be the day save lots of headaches easier to install,just wish that would happen
Something actually confused me. How does this thing turns any normal bike into electric bike when the bike itself doesn't have a motor and these things makes it run at less this thing has a more to build into it. All. It does is to put on a bike and makes it works straight away and they even more difficult part. How does we replace on any type of bike? They are some bikes foldable that doesn't have more to operate it. I mean it does looks useful, but it must cause a lot of money.
True question as I have a smaller bike… does it work on a 24"?
