There are plenty of fancy e-bikes on the market but many of us still prefer regular bikes. The CYPLORE is a smart module that upgrades your bike to give you assistance when you need it. Its battery looks like a bottle while the motor sits in the rear hub. With this approach, you can use your bike like you always do when the motor is off. The battery and motor modules weigh 1.7kg. You get 250W of power to assist you. CYPLORE has a range of up to 50km on battery.
The CYPLORE can sense how you pedal thanks to its torque sensor. For example, when you pedal harder, you get more help. When you turn off assist, the motor is disengaged, so you can ride with no added resistance. You get a convenient remote to switch mode and adjust assist level. There are two versions of this available: CYPLORE ONE just requires you to swap your rear wheel. The Flex model has a hub that can be added to your own wheel. You can find this project on Kickstarter.
