Skarper Electric Assist
One bike. Every ride covered.
Combine the pure ride feel you love with an added boost that lets you flatten out the hills and battle headwinds on weekday commutes; and enjoy longer days out on weekend gravel adventures. When you’re done just click off the unit in seconds to switch back to a lightweight, analogue ride. One bike that covers you for the trail, the city and everything in between.
“Our riders value simplicity, reliability, and adventure. Skarper’s neat, removable drive keeps a Sonder feeling like a Sonder, while adding the confidence to go further. It is a natural fit for how our community rides.” - Neil Sutton, Product Manager, Sonder
