00:00Welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:03Today we're talking about an exciting topic for all bike fans.
00:07The innovative e-bike conversion kit from Kamingo,
00:09which is designed to easily transform any conventional bike into an e-bike.
00:14The basic idea behind Kamingo is simple.
00:18Electrify your favorite bike with minimal effort.
00:21According to the manufacturer, the initial assembly of the system can be done in just 10 minutes.
00:26The total weight is just 2.3 kg.
00:30The system consists of three central components, a motor, a battery, and a control unit.
00:37The control unit, which is attached to the handlebars, has an integrated display.
00:42This allows you to select the various support modes and also read the current battery level.
00:48The battery itself has a capacity of 266 Wh, is round in shape, and fits into standard water bottle holders.
00:56It can also be used as a power bank, for example to charge a smartphone with 5W of output power.
01:03According to Kamingo, a full battery charge should take around 3 hours.
01:08The motor is attached to the seat post and automatically adjusts the distance to the tire.
01:12Apart from coarse tread mountain bike tires, the system is said to be compatible with almost all tire types.
01:21Once installed, the motor can be attached and removed without tools.
01:25According to Kamingo, the initial installation takes just 3 minutes.
01:30Daily installation takes just 10 seconds.
01:32The motor delivers a continuous output of 250 Watts.
01:37Up to 750 Watts should be possible in the short term with a torque of 40 Nm.
01:43The system offers three operating modes in total.
01:46Standby, assist, and cruise.
01:48In standby mode, the bike rides as usual, without motor resistance, but also without electrical support.
01:57In assist mode, the rider is supported up to a speed of 25 or 32 km per hour, depending on the legal situation in Germany.
02:07Cruise mode allows riding without pedaling at all.
02:11However, this mode is not permitted in Germany, for example.
02:14The connection between the control unit and the motor can be established either wired or wirelessly via the 2.4 GHz band.
02:23Kamingo also promises a lot in terms of suitability for everyday use.
02:28The entire system is protected against water and dust in accordance with protection class IP66.
02:34The motor also serves as a small mud guard to protect against splashing water.
02:37A recuperation function is designed to recover energy when braking, and the motor can be blocked via Bluetooth to make theft more difficult.
02:47The system is compatible with iOS and Android.
02:49Although the idea of a conversion kit is not entirely new and several similar concepts already exist,
02:57Kamingo wants to stand out with its particularly easy handling, compact design, and gentle, barely noticeable support.
03:04The sales state is via Kickstarter.
03:07For so-called super early bird supporters, the price is around 320 euros.
03:12Later on, the set is expected to cost around 540 euros.
03:18However, the manufacturer has not yet officially confirmed the current European release date.
03:23As always, you can find the link to read the article in the video description.
