While e-bikes continue to rise in popularity, the option to instantly convert traditional pedal bikes into electric versions is a welcome innovation that combines the best of both worlds. The new Kamingo e-Bike Converter, currently undergoing a Kickstarter campaign, aims to provide this solution, delivering 750W of peak power for cyclists.

This small but impressively powered device is easy to install, with the manufacturer claiming it can be fixed to a bike and operational in just ten seconds. Once attached, the bike is transformed into an e-bike capable of up to 90 kilometers in range and with instant mode switching mid-ride.

With its lightweight design, the Kamingo e-Bike Converter minimizes weight while incorporating adaptive pressure technology to optimize power usage across various terrain types. Constructed of three core components — motor, battery, and controller — it can be easily stowed in a rucksack or fanny pack when not in use.

No special tools are required for the initial setup or installation on any bike. The Kamingo e-Bike Converter is fully weatherproof and waterproof, ensuring reliable operation in poor weather conditions. The device delivers cruise speeds of up to 20 mph and a maximum assisted speed of 25 km/h, with intuitive controls that allow for adjustments based on specific requirements in different territories.

Various ride modes, including Assist Mode and Cruise Mode, further enhance the broad applications of the Kamingo e-Bike Converter, whether hitting trails or commuting to work. With accessible controls via the handlebars, it offers an alternative to standard e-bikes, potentially saving bikers thousands of dollars.
