Proudly Presents:
How can you avoid envying cycling acrobats. Danny MacAskill, Lorena Schneider...
Well...maybe you won't be able to do everything they do, but don't you wish that YOU could at least ride backwards ?
Now, you can! the ShelBroCo Backup System™ converts any bicycle into an ebike with forward and backward propulsion, and multi-option stability control! Check out our video!
Our system includes:
- Electronic attitude and heading reference system with stability, ABS and traction control!
- High-power battery.
- Hub motor-generator - charges when traveling forward, drives backwards or forwards. Available bare or in pre-built wheel.
- Powered steering assembly to keep the bicycle upright. Works when moving forward too, no worries riding hands-free!
- Backup switch, Flick it on as you slow to a stop, and the system takes over. Optionally self-cancels when you roll forward!
- Rear-view mirror: helmet or handlebar mount!
Already have a select e-bike with a Backup-compatible reversible motor? Then save: our e-bike system includes only the parts you need.
Fixed-gear fanatic? Save on weight! Our pedaling-only option takes control when you pedal backwards.
No need for years of acrobatic practice. Roll that heavy e-bike out of the garage, easy! Back out of dangerous traffic pileups! Amaze your friends!
