Skarper conversion kit is interesting.

[Jimmy666]

Looks like a class 1 kit but not sure how the PAS works and a downside is the internal battery but it looks like it is half the cost of the Bimotal witch is similar. I like the idea though.

So they mount a motor on the rear brake mounts... I can't imagine there's a torque sensor anywhere in the system. Heck, I don't even know if there are any rear brakes. I still prefer torque sensor mid drive stealth systems!

First major review.

Pricy

£1495 or $1940 USD. Pretty expensive, What if they cost reduced it to $1200 and supplied with extra rotor gears so you could move it between bikes? Still too expensive for me. But it sure is innovative

The Skarper motor cuts out at 15 mph (per European regs). This would be a deal-breaker for me, even if the price was a lot lower.

Looks like extra DiskDrive rotors are $520

They had a USP with the ability to move the device effortlessly between bikes but if it costs that much to make a bike compatible they might have priced themselves out of the market.
