The PikaBoost device includes a battery compartment, sensors, control chip and friction wheel.

When attaching the device to a regular bicycle, PikaBoost's friction wheel will transmit kinetic energy to the rear wheel of the bicycle, to assist the user when pedaling.

PikaBoost is designed to be compact and lightweight to carry in a backpack and is suitable for most types of bicycles. Installing the PikaBoost device to turn a regular bike into an electric bike only takes 30 seconds.

A representative of Livall Company said that PikaBoost allows you to have both a regular bicycle for exercise and an electric bicycle when needed.

The PikaBoost device is integrated with sensors that can intelligently adapt to the terrain and the driver's pedal force, can monitor the bike's status in real time, and thereby adjust the output power. to respond to the slope and terrain ahead.

These smart features help PikaBoost detect collisions in real time and immediately stop the vehicle's rear wheels to reduce speed to help keep users safe.

PikaBoost not only supports cycling but also has a built-in USB port to help users charge other electronic devices. This device is powered by a lithium battery and can be replaced at the end of its life.

The PikaBoost device is currently being sold on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform for $299/unit.
