Riding a bike is one of life’s simple pleasures, but some of us need a little extra boost. The problem is that ebikes on the whole are bulky and expensive. If you can afford one then they’re great, but then if the desire to ride a normal bike again takes hold of you you cannot indulge it; you’re stuck on a big, heavy machine. If instead you have a LIVALL Pikaboost in your backpack, you can quickly convert any bike into an ebike, get the boost of power you need exactly when you need it, and can remove it in thirty seconds turning your bike back into a standard machine again.
There are plenty of electric bike conversion kits on the market, but most are bulky, expensive, and require complex installation that effectively permanently converts your bike into an electric bike. The Pikaboost in contrast is compact, portable, and can be installed in seconds when you need it, and is up for backing on Kickstarter right now.
What is the Pikaboost?
The Pikaboost ebike conversion kit is about as simple a piece of design as you’re likely to find. It takes the form of a single unit containing the battery, seatpost clamp, circuitry, and the friction wheel. You simply clamp the unit to your seatpost so that the friction wheel rests on your rear tyre, tighten it up, switch it on and you’re good to go.
Given that it’s so portable you can take it with you just in case you need some assistance, and you can easily remove it if you lock your bike up in town. Despite its size though it’s powerful enough to provide all the assistance you need to increase your range, take the strain off your knees, and maintain a constant output regardless of the gradient, all the while using the bike you already own.
The Pikaboost is waterproof, naturally, so you needn’t worry about getting caught in a downpour, and unlike other systems where the battery is a sealed unit, the batteries in the power pack are replaceable by the user at home, so no costly extra servicing fees and visits to the bike shop.
The Pikaboost riding experience
The Pikaboost is there to assist, not to turn your bike into a motorbike. Built-in sensors detect the type of terrain you’re riding over and can adjust the level of assistance accordingly, meaning no clutter on the handlebars…
