Problem
Many cyclists are looking for a more sustainable and efficient way to commute or enjoy longer rides, but the cost and complexity of purchasing a dedicated electric bike can be prohibitive. Additionally, discarding a perfectly functional bicycle in favor of an e-bike contributes to environmental waste.
Solution
Reebike offers a range of universal electric conversion kits that transform standard bicycles into e-bikes, providing an accessible and eco-friendly alternative to purchasing a new electric bicycle. These kits are designed for easy installation, typically within 5-15 minutes, and are compatible with a wide variety of bicycle types, including those with disc or pad brakes. Reebike's kits provide electric assistance up to 25 km/h and offer options for varying levels of range, up to 150km, depending on the chosen kit and battery configuration. The kits also include features such as Bluetooth connectivity and a mobile app for performance tracking and anti-theft measures. Reebike also offers a rental program, allowing customers to try out the e-bike experience before committing to a purchase, as well as reconditioned kits at a lower price point.
