Co-Developed with Red Bull Advanced Technologies
The team behind championship-winning F1 cars helped us engineer Skarper: a removable, high-performance e-bike motor that doesn't change your bike. 5 years of development, 76Nm of motorsport-grade torque in one sleek unit. Click it on for hills, headwinds and new routes. Click it off for pure cycling. No frame modifications, no permanent conversion. This is F1 engineering for the bike you already own.
What our customers say
Rated 4.8 Excellent on Trustpilot
"An absolutely amazing product that does all it purports to and more. I love the fact that I can easily remove it and use my bike for exercise on shorter rides but add it for longer ones so I can keep up with my fit partner. 10/10 Skarper"
"The extra power has got me back into enjoying cycling again and getting a lot fitter."
"Skarper gives you two bikes in one, an electric one for the longer rides or for assistance getting up the hills but you still have an “under your own steam” when you want it. Exactly what I wanted. Thoroughly recommend"
"I love my Skarper. It was so easy to fit to my bike. I live on a hill so it has really opened up cycling to me"

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Does Skarper fit my bike?
Skarper fits most bikes with a standard rear disc brake (26–29″).
If you’re unsure, simply send us a photo of your rear wheel and brake area – our team will confirm it within 24 hours.
And if your bike needs a small upgrade, we’ll guide you to one of our partner shops for an easy fix.
No frame modifications, no hidden surprises.
How easy is it to install and remove Skarper?
Installation is simple – one DiskDrive® replaces your rear brake rotor.
After that, Skarper clicks on or off in seconds.
We also offer free professional installation through our retail partners, or you can fit it yourself at home using our step-by-step video guide.
No wires, no permanent changes, just one satisfying click.
What happens if I don’t like it?
You can ride it risk-free.
Every Skarper comes with a 30-day Ride & Decide money-back guarantee.
If it’s not for you, send it back – no questions asked.
Plus, you’re covered by a 2-year warranty on parts.
What’s included in the price?
Everything you need for a complete high-performance e-bike experience:
- The Skarper drive unit
- One DiskDrive® (your smart brake rotor)
- DynamicClimb® pedal sensor (that knows your on a hill, before you do)
- Battery and charger
- Free Professional Installation
- App access for power modes and updates
No subscriptions, no extra cabling, no mechanic needed.
Just click, ride, and enjoy.
How powerful is Skarper compared to a regular e-bike?
Skarper delivers up to 76Nm of peak torque – performance on par with many high-end e-bikes, but in a portable system.
Developed with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, it combines F1 engineering precision with real-world cycling comfort.
Can I use Skarper for off-road or steep rides?
Skarper is built for daily rides – commuting, road, gravel, and light trails.
It’s not designed for downhill, enduro, or ultra-long expedition use.
If that’s your riding style, contact us for a quick fit check so we can recommend the best setup for your goals.
Can I use one Skarper on two bikes?
Yes – just fit a second DiskDrive® (sold separately) on your other bike, and swap your Skarper drive unit in seconds.
Commute during the week, climb at the weekend – it’s truly two bikes in one.
Can I buy Skarper through Cycle to Work?
Absolutely. You can save up to 47% through Cycle to Work and pay in monthly instalments (from £42/mo).
We work with all major providers including Cyclescheme. Choose “Cycle to Work” at checkout or write to our team – we’ll guide you through it in minutes.
