Bimotal’s Elevate system is changing how mountain bikers think about e-bikes. This innovative retrofit kit lets you transform your regular mountain bike into an electric powerhouse without buying a new bike. The Bimotal Elevate includes a motor, battery, bar-mounted controller, brake mount adapter, and a gear attached to a disc brake rotor. The motor mounts directly onto the bike’s frame using an adapter, allowing you to keep your existing brake caliper. With compatibility for 50-60% of mountain bikes, Bimotal plans to extend compatibility to most disc-compatible bikes on the market.

The system provides throttle control for a maximum speed of 20mph, with future upgrades bringing pedal assist and class 1 e-bike capabilities. Designed by Bimotal founder Toby Ricco, a former Tesla engineer, the Elevate system promises a seamless experience without needing tools, as it can be removed in under a minute. This flexibility makes it perfect for riders who want to switch between electric and mechanical modes depending on trail regulations.

At $1,795, the Bimotal Elevate system is an ideal solution for riders who want to keep up with electric bikes but don’t want to spend thousands on a new bike. It’s compact and efficient and brings your existing bike into the future with the ease of modern technology. Whether tackling tough trails or cruising through the city, the Elevate system makes it all possible.
