The cycling backpacks and bags brand, Velotton has developed an incredible e-bike conversion kit that turns your old bicycle into a smart e-bike Vekkit. Vekkit comprises 3 parts only including a wheel with a motor, a bag with a battery, and a wireless cadence sensor. The purpose of the cadence sensor is to detect the pedaling and inform the motor to assist. You can set preferences from your mobile phone like max speed or power or check battery health and view your ride statistics. In order for you to get the most suitable kit for your bike, a kit configurator helps you. 

Veletton has developed and manufactured all parts of the kit except the motor in their own workshop in Krakow, Poland. As a result, they have been able to put their best out there in developing Vekkit by avoiding outsourcing and letting others do the job. In order to stay eco friendly with the whole production process, the company has used 3d printers. Vekkit only takes around 5-10 minutes to be installed on most bikes. It comes with all the necessary tools which are needed for installation.
