What you need to know about Skarper<\/h3>\n- The Skarper unit requires you to replace the rear disc rotor with its rotor\/drive unit<\/li>\n
- It weighs in at a claimed 3kg<\/li>\n
- Skarper\u2019s rotor works as both brake and drive, and adds just 300g to your bike<\/li>\n
- Once the disc is installed, fitting\/removing takes seconds<\/li>\n
- Claimed range of up to 60km<\/li>\n
- Charge time of 2.5 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>

This involved a switch of the centre-lock disc rotor for Skarper\u2019s DiskDrive, attaching the Bluetooth cadence sensor to the cranks and then hooking the unit onto the rear chainstay, with its driveshaft plugging into the keyed slot on the rotor.<\/p>\n
Taking the unit out of the box and getting it powered up and ready to ride took a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n
I headed out onto the streets of Camden, in London, to try out the system.<\/p>\n
The system provides assistance quickly from a standing start, progressively increasing the power smoothly and making for quick getaways from traffic lights.<\/p>\n
We headed to Highgate hill, which rises around 60m in elevation. I came away impressed by how easily the Skarper coped with this short urban climb.<\/p>\n
Unlike most electric bikes, the Skarper uses a combination of sensors and control algorithms to respond to the terrain and your input. Power delivery was smooth and predictable.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s akin to the level of assistance you get from lighter ebike systems, such as Mahle\u2019s ebikemotion<\/a> or Fazua\u2019s mid-drive system<\/a>.
