Created by engineers, cyclists, and former Huawei and BYD innovators with a reimagined vision for e-bike converters—Kamingo supercharges your bike by turning your bike into a powerful and innovative 750W e-bike, all while preserving your original riding experience.

Finally, a solution that installs in seconds. Detaches just as fast. Fits in your bag. And keeps your bike looking as great as it did before.

Glide uphill. Slash commute times. Ride farther without pushing harder.

And all it takes is 10 seconds to mount 3 compact components – motor, battery, controller, that work as 1 system to give you instant powertotal control, and road-gripping stability you can trust.

Install and hop on. The e-bike revolution starts now.

The world is full of e-bike conversion kits. Bulky. Complicated. Impossible to remove without tools when you don’t need them. 

With Kamingo, you’re about to experience the easiest e-bike conversion, ever.

It’s the modular e-bike converter composed of just 3 components: Battery, motor, and controller.

Install it one time within less than 3 minutes, and when that’s done, remove and reattach components as often as you need, within less than 10 seconds.

Without special tools. By yourself. Faster than it takes to blend a smoothie.

Click on, click off. You get the drill. It can’t get any easier.

Enjoy the ease-of-use, power, and performance of a premium e-bike, all without spending $1,000+ on an e-bike or wasting time on complicated conversion kits.

The advanced friction-drive motor delivers up to 750W of peak power (with continuous output tuned to local regulations), making your ride as light as a feather and powering you through steep uphill climbs with ease. 

Enabling max cruise speeds* of up to 20 mph (USA**, Class-2), and a max assisted speed* of 25 km/h (EU/UK/AU**).

Kamingo is a better and faster ride, on your terms, at a fraction of the price.

* Compliant with local laws and regulations.

Kamingo is compatible with the bike you already have and love. No need to get new wheels or lose the look of your bike. Kamingo preserves everything. Your ride feel, your frame, your setup.

It’s compatible with most popular bike types: City, MTB, Road, Gravel, Folding, Trekking, you name it.*

*For more specifics on compatibility, scroll down to the compatibility section below.

Maybe you want a boost for your morning commute, but a natural ride on the weekends. Or perhaps you only need the motor for the uphill parts.

With Kamingo’s innovative motor lift system, you can instantly switch between the e-bike modes and regular riding as you go.

Want assistance? Turn the knob on the controller to lower the motor onto the tire and enter assist mode.

Want Kamingo to take over completely? Flick the throttle to activate cruise mode.

Want to ride naturally? Turn the knob to raise the motor off the tire and enter standby mode.

And the best part? You can do all this without having to stop your ride.

An e-bike when you want it. A regular bike when you don’t.

The controls are at your fingertips.

Our engineers have successfully gone above and beyond to make Kamingo as lightweight as possible. At a total weight of just 2.3kg (motor: 0.9 kg, battery: 1.4kg), it’s about as light as a MacBook.

That matters. Because with a converter this light, you get to effortlessly carry your bike up stairs, take it with you on the train, or toss it in a van for a weekend ride out of town.

And whenever you don’t need it on your bike… simply pop it off and toss it in your backpack.

We wanted to deliver exceptional energy density, to let you ride as far as possible, with a battery that’s as compact as possible.

Kamingo runs on a removable 266Wh EV-grade battery, powered by the same 21700 cells found in electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. 

The result? Up to 55 miles (90 km) of assisted range on a single charge.

That’s your daily commute, and your weekend adventure.
Your trip to work, and the escape from it.

And if you need to go farther, you can! The battery is fully modular, so you can swap it out anytime and double your range in seconds.

Most conversion kits apply fixed pressure to the tire, which can lead to skidding, slippage, or tire wear. Kamingo avoids all that with Pressure-Adaptive Technology (PAT™).

PAT™ uses built-in pressure sensors to always maintain the perfect pressure level against the bike tire, in real-time, as you ride. It does this by pressing the assist wheel harder (or softer) against your bike tire when as needed.

PAT™ makes every ride feel smoother, safer, and smarter.

When you’re riding, the last thing you want to worry about is what could go wrong. That’s why Kamingo is built with a Smart Safety Suite to keep you and your bike secure—not only during, but also after your ride.

Kamingo constantly monitors movement, for your safety.

If your bicycle tilts more than 45°, its built-in IMU sensor will automatically detect a fall, lift the assist wheel, and immediately cut power to the motor to prevent further injury or runaway movement.

Staying safe means staying in control, even when things go sideways.

It may be easy to install and remove. But it’s just as easy to lock in place—all thanks to Kamingo’s Bluetooth-operated quick-lock, which securely mounts the motor onto the base mount.

Simply lock the motor in place wirelessly via a Bluetooth connection, paired with the Kamingo app on your smartphone, and voilá, you’re the only person who can take it off.

Small debris like rocks or twigs might seem harmless, but they can wreak havoc on your system if ignored. 

Kamingo’s sensors detect obstructions on your bicycle’s tire before they become an issue. When detected, the motor automatically disengages from the wheel, and you are notified with an alert on the controller screen.

This lets you address the issue immediately, saving your Kamingo from potential damage, prolonging its lifetime, and keeping your ride smooth. Always.

We’ve seen what most conversion kits do to bikes. Wires everywhere, mismatched parts, and a look that feels more like a science project than something you’d want to ride.

With Kamingo, we knew we could do better.

From the very beginning, our team of engineers, cyclists, and designers agreed on one thing: the system should be powerful, yet honor the beauty of the bike, not take away from it.

So our team worked hard to keep everything compact, clean, and easy to love. And after 40 design iterations, with immaculate attention to detail, the result is one to behold.

  • The battery fits right into most bottle holders.
  • The controller slides onto your handlebar.
  • And the motor stays compact and low-profile

Built for absolute convenience, in every way, shape, and form.

Kamingo’s battery is as innovative as the rest of the system. Built using high-grade 21700 EV battery cells, it’s more than likely to outlast your bike—engineered to last through hundreds of charge cycles without significant degradation.

Beyond powering your ride, it’s detachable and also doubles as a USB-C power bank which you can use to charge your phone or other devices when you’re on the go.

Rain shouldn’t stop your ride. Neither should road dust, sand, or mud.
Kamingo’s motor unit is IP66-rated, meaning it’s built to resist heavy water pressure and prevent dust from getting in.
The assist wheel also features a smart tire tread drainage design. It actively channels water away, to ensure strong grip with your bike’s tire and prevent slippage.
So go ahead. Ride the rainstorm, hit the muddy roads, and cross those dusty hills.
You always get to enjoy your Kamingo, no matter what.

Going downhill or easing off the throttle? We’ve incorporated a Regenerative Braking System (RBS) into the motor component to capture kinetic energy produced during braking or downhill rides, and use it to charge the battery and maximize your range.

Kamingo runs at just 56 dB. Quieter than a casual conversation. That’s thanks to its precision friction motor and smart pressure control, which eliminate the grinding noises found in other kits. 

You get silent acceleration and smooth assistance, perfect for early morning rides, quiet neighborhoods, and stress-free commutes.

With Kamingo, you still pedal, but with less effort and less strain. 

That means:

  • Less pressure on joints, knees, and hips
  • Steady cardiovascular exercise
  • Encouragement to ride more often
     

Active commuting that doesn’t wear you out. Ideal for riders recovering from injury, easing into cycling, or just wanting a healthier routine without pushing their body to the limit.

Connect your smartphone to using Bluetooth to access a detailed range of stats, lock and unlock the motor, manage settings, and more—straight from the Kamingo app.

Kamingo works by mounting a lightweight friction-drive motor above your rear tire, fully controllable from your handlebar.

When activated, the assist wheel on the motor drops down, presses against the tire, and spins to turn your bicycle wheel (and give you a push) as you ride.

And thanks to its modular design, installation can’t get any easier!
 

  • Mount the motor base onto the seat stay (one-time setup)
  • Attach the wireless controller onto your handlebar
  • Drop the battery into your bottle cage
  • Connect the battery wire
  • Place the wireless cadence sensors
  • Get riding!

* Kamingo is not compatible with carbon fiber bike frames. It’s compatible with all the other types (steel, aluminum, etc).

We’re a team of engineers, designers, and lifelong cyclists with backgrounds at Huawei and BYD, who came together with a simple belief:

Everyone should have the ability to enjoy the joy of riding with electric assistance, without the high price tag or sacrificing the simplicity of their existing ride.

But every time we looked at e-bike solutions, we saw the same problems. High price tags. Overcomplicated installs. Bulky kits that changed the entire look and feel of your bike.

That wasn’t the future we believed in.

So we decided to build something different. Something we’d actually want to use, and something we knew others needed too.

Kamingo is our answer. A lightweight, powerful, easy-to-install converter that brings electric assistance to the bike you already own. And we built it for people like us: Those who ride to work, to the store, to the mountains, or just to clear their minds. The ones who love their bikes and don’t want to give them up just to go electric.

This is the joy of e-bikes, not available for everyone.

And it all starts in just 10 seconds
