"A brilliant motor system that could render the lightweight ebike redundant"
"The new funding injection takes the total raised by Skarper since it was established to £12.8m"
״This partnership with Skarper demonstrates how F1 expertise can help to improve everyday technology for the benefit of the public״
"Connecting the Skarper unit to the frame is brilliantly simple."
"The clever part is the gearbox contained within Skarper’s ‘DiskDrive’ replacement rear brake disc."
"The system should allow you switch from bike to e-bike in a pretty straightforward fashion, eliminating the need for a dedicated electric bike."
“We recognised from the outset that partnering with Skarper on this project was a natural fit for Red Bull Advanced Technologies. Our shared commitment to pushing the limits aligned perfectly to create Skarper's remarkable compact drive system, a true engineering breakthrough. We eagerly anticipate witnessing Skarper's ground-breaking innovation enrich the cycling experience, offering riders an exhilarating and and practical enhancement to their journey.”
Andy Damerum,
Commercial Development Officer
of Red Bull Advanced Technologies
"This click-on, click-off e-bike drive system lets you turn any bicycle into a e-bike without any need for spanners, wrenches, apps or cables. This is one of those indispensable design solutions we didn’t know we needed. Big wow factor here!"
