If you’ve ever thought about turning your regular bike into an e-bike but didn’t want to deal with complicated installs or commit to a whole new ride, the Kamingo e-bike conversion kit might be exactly what you’re looking for.

From Bike To E-Bike In Just 10 Seconds

The magic of Kamingo is in its simplicity. After a one-time base installation (which takes about three minutes), you can convert your regular bike into an electric one in just 10 seconds with no tools and no fuss. The motor, battery, and handlebar controller all snap on easily and are just as quick to remove when you’re done. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or just out for a cruise, this plug-and-play system is designed to make e-biking as accessible as possible.

Smart, Friction-Drive Power That Adapts To You

At the heart of Kamingo is a 750W peak-power motor that uses a friction drive, meaning it powers your bike by pressing a roller against your rear tire. It may sound old-school, but Kamingo brings it into the 21st century with Pressure-Adaptive Technology (PAT) that automatically adjusts roller pressure for maximum grip, minimal tire wear, and smooth performance. It’s quiet too, running at just 56 dB, about as loud as a fan on low speed.

Lightweight, Long-Lasting Battery

Despite its compact size, the Kamingo system is powerful and portable. The total weight is just 2.3 kg (about 5 lb), split between a 1.4 kg battery and 0.9 kg motor.

• 266Wh EV-grade battery
• Up to 90 km (55 miles) of range in assist mode (expect closer to 45 km depending on terrain and conditions)
• Fully recharges in about 3 hours
• USB-C port for phone or accessory charging
• Even includes regenerative braking to help extend range

Choose How You Ride

Kamingo offers three riding modes, easily switchable via the handlebar controller:

• Standby: pedal like normal, no resistance
• Assist: get an extra push when pedaling
• Cruise: throttle-only, no pedaling required

It’s smooth, intuitive, and adapts mid-ride with no lag.

Built To Handle Real-World Riding

Kamingo is not only smart, it’s tough. The motor and battery are rated IP66 waterproof, making them safe in rain and dusty conditions. It also includes safety features like:

• Tilt shutoff if your bike tips too far
• Debris detection that automatically disengages the motor if something gets stuck
• Bluetooth locking so your system stays secure even when your bike is parked

Built By E-Mobility Engineers, Tested On Real Streets

Developed by a team with experience at Huawei and EV-maker BYD, Kamingo is engineered for performance and durability. It’s been tested across 1,000+ km of city streets, gravel paths, and bike lanes. It’s compatible with most standard and folding bikes, though it’s not recommended for fat-tire mountain bikes or bikes with unusual frame geometry or tight mudguards.

Affordable, Portable, & Surprisingly Powerful

Kamingo launched on Kickstarter with early bird pricing at $349 (regular price $589), quickly blew past its $10,000 goal, and is currently funded by almost $800,000 in pledges. Compared to full e-bikes, Kamingo is a fraction of the cost and lets you keep the bike you already love.

The Kamingo kit is a clever, well-designed solution for anyone looking to add electric power to their existing bike. It’s light, fast to install, and full of smart features you wouldn’t expect from something so compact. While the friction-drive design may not suit everyone, for most city riders and commuters, it’s a brilliant middle ground between pedal-only and full-on e-bike. If you’ve been on the fence about going electric, Kamingo makes it easier than ever to take the leap, without letting go of your current ride.
