Kamingo: Turn Your Bike into a 750W E-bike in 10 Sec

Instant Install | 750W Peak Power | 55 mi (90 km) Range | Cruise, Assist, & Standby | Ultralight |Water-Resistant |Regenerative Braking

For cycling enthusiasts, daily commuters, and anyone curious about the e-bike revolution but hesitant to invest in a brand new electric bicycle, KAMINGO offers a groundbreaking solution. Launched on Kickstarter, KAMINGO promises to be the world's most convenient e-bike conversion kit, allowing you to "Turn Your Bike Into A Powerful E-Bike In 10 Seconds" and experience the joy of electric assistance without replacing your beloved ride.


Project Overview

  • Name and Creator: KAMINGO: Turn Your Bike into a 750W E-bike in 10 Sec by Kamingo (a team of engineers, cyclists, and former Huawei and BYD innovators)

  • What It Is: An ultra-compact, modular e-bike conversion system that quickly and easily transforms almost any standard bicycle into a powerful electric bike. It features a friction-drive motor, a lightweight battery, and a handlebar controller, all designed for instant, tool-free attachment after a one-time initial setup, providing instant power, extended range, and versatile riding modes.


Key Features

  • Instant 10-Second Conversion: After a quick, one-time initial base installation (which takes about three minutes and requires no special tools), the KAMINGO system can be attached or detached from your bike in a mere 10 seconds. This modular design makes it incredibly convenient to switch between an electric bike and a traditional bike as needed.

  • Powerful 750W Peak Motor: At its heart, KAMINGO features a robust motor delivering up to 750W of peak power (with continuous output adjusted to comply with local regulations, e.g., 250W for EU/UK, 500W for Canada/Australia). This power enables effortless uphill climbs, faster commutes, and assisted speeds of up to 20 mph (32 km/h) in the US and 25 km/h in regions like the EU.

  • Pressure-Adaptive Friction Drive (PAT): KAMINGO utilizes an advanced friction-drive system with Pressure-Adaptive Technology (PAT). This innovative motor lift system automatically adjusts the contact pressure between the motor's roller and your bike's rear tire, ensuring maximum grip, smooth performance, minimal tire wear, and quiet operation (under 56 dB).

  • Lightweight, Long-Lasting Battery: The system includes a portable 266Wh EV-grade battery, made with high-density 21700 cells (the same found in some Tesla models). This battery offers an assisted range of up to 55 miles (90 km) on a single charge and fully recharges in just about 3 hours. It also features a USB-C port for charging your phone or other accessories on the go and supports regenerative braking to extend range.

  • Versatile Riding Modes: Easily switch between three modes via the handlebar controller:

    • Standby: Pedal like a normal bike with no motor resistance.

    • Assist: Get an extra push when pedaling, perfect for hills or longer rides.

    • Cruise: Enjoy throttle-only power with no pedaling required.

  • Universal Compatibility (with considerations): KAMINGO is designed to work with most city, trekking, gravel, and folding bikes. It requires a standard rear triangle, a rear tire width of 39mm or less, and compatibility with disc, V-brake, drum, or roller brakes. It's generally not recommended for full suspension frames, caliper or cantilever brakes, carbon fiber frames, or bikes with rear racks/mudguards that interfere with mounting.

  • Compact & Portable Design: The entire system weighs just 2.3 kg (motor: 0.9 kg, battery: 1.4 kg), making it lighter than most laptops. The battery fits into a standard water bottle cage, the controller mounts on the handlebar, and the motor is discreetly positioned, preserving your bike's original aesthetics and allowing for easy transport or storage.

  • Robust & Safe: Rated IP66 waterproof for safe use in rain and dusty conditions. Includes safety features like tilt shutoff, debris detection, and Bluetooth locking.


Rewards

  • KAMINGO Launch Bundle: Starts at $349 for the motor only.

  • Bundled Packs: There are other packages available and additional discounts for purchasing 2 or 3 units. Can you imagine adding 3 motors to your bike?? I wanna go fast too!!!


The Idea

  • Concept: To revolutionize urban mobility and cycling accessibility by providing a powerful, instant, and universally compatible e-bike conversion kit that allows anyone to experience the benefits of electric assistance without the high cost and bulk of a traditional e-bike.

  • Inspiration: The creators, a team of seasoned engineers and cyclists from companies like Huawei and BYD, observed that many people wanted the benefits of e-bikes but were constrained by the expense, weight, and commitment of buying a dedicated electric model. They envisioned a "plug-and-play" solution that preserves the original riding experience while adding powerful electric capabilities. KAMINGO is born from a desire to make cycling more accessible, flexible, and fun for everyone, empowering riders to glide uphill, cut commute times, and go farther, all by simply upgrading the bike they already love.
