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?
