ZyroFisher partners with Skarper, Click-On, Click-Off E-Drive

Hot on the heels of its distribution partnership with apparel brand Spatzwear, ZyroFisher has announced a new partnership with Skarper, the British company behind the click-on, click-off high-performance e-drive system.

Skarper’s patented DiskDrive® system delivers lightweight electric power that clicks on for the commute and off for the weekend ride – all without altering the bike’s frame.

Developed in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, Skarper’s award-winning design has earned honours at Eurobike, Red Dot, and iF Gold. The 4.5 kg drive unit connects via the DiskDrive® rotor interface, replacing the standard rear brake disc. Once attached, it delivers up to 76 Nm of torque assist power across Eco, Cruise, and Turbo modes – all controlled through the companion app. Detach it in seconds for an unassisted ride.

Skarper is also eligible for Cycle to Work schemes, allowing riders to save up to 47% where applicable.

For retailers, the partnership introduces a new category – the click-on e-drive – that bridges the gap between traditional and electric cycling, said the distributor. It enables shops to serve riders who want electric assistance without replacing their existing bikes, while reinforcing the value of in-store expertise. With minimal installation and a clear demonstration moment (“the click”), retailers can now “convert curious riders into confident high-performance eBike owners in a single visit”.

Ean Brown, CEO of Skarper, said: “Partnering with ZyroFisher allows us to make Skarper available where riders already trust and shop. It’s a vote of confidence in a new category we’ve created – the click-on e-drive – and a step toward making e-bike freedom available to anyone who loves their current bike.”

Sir Chris Hoy, Founding Investor in Skarper and 6-time Olympic Champion, said: “Skarper’s partnership with ZyroFisher will bring this exciting technology to customers nationwide, making electric performance accessible to even more riders. Skarper is the next evolution in cycling innovation, transforming the bike you already love. I am so excited to see this important development for the business.”

Tom Ainscough, CEO of ZyroFisher, said: “We are proud to partner with Skarper to drive a genuinely exciting breakthrough in e-mobility through a truly innovative product that expands, rather than replaces the cycling market. The new ground-breaking technology will be available to our 3000 plus retailers across the UK and Ireland, which will provide a
super simple and accessible way for more people to experience the sustainability, freedom and joy of electric power, without changing their bike or the way they ride.”
