The Karaa bike

Make your favourite bike electric

There is nothing wrong with your bicycle. It is just slow, and hills make it hard work. Add a Karaa motor and it becomes an electric bike: quick, easy to ride, and charged from the same socket that charges your phone.

Any bicycle can become electric

We convert almost any bicycle. We have also teamed up with bicycle makers we trust, Buffalo Bicycles and REF, for electric versions of their bikes and ready-to-fit conversion kits.

Why Karaa

Made to last, backed in writing

 

Assembled and serviced locally

Built and supported here, so parts and repairs do not wait on an import.

 

Anti-theft function

Optional GPS shows where each bike is and lets you switch it off from your phone if it goes missing.

 

One battery, more than one job

The same battery that runs the bike also powers a water pump, lights and phone charging.

The app

Control it from your phone

Choose how much help the motor gives, check your battery, and lock the bike, all from your phone.
