Handless 2-Gear Power For Small-Wheel Bikes

Contavelo Easy Ride was built for small-wheel and folding bikes that deserve more than single-speed limits. It adds a simple 2-gear system you shift with a quick backpedal, so your hands stay on the bars in traffic. The crank-integrated design works even while stationary, since it does not rely on chain tension to change gears. There is no need to modify your frame, and the unit weighs under 2 lb to keep your bike nimble. Enjoy steady city cruising in base gear, then switch for real climbing support on hills. It is designed around Brompton specs with everyday usability in mind. Get more range without cluttering your cockpit or exposing components. Back Contavelo Easy Ride on Kickstarter today.

About

We are more than a group of riders or engineers. We are long-time bicycle enthusiasts united by one clear mission: to solve the long-standing limitations of small-wheeled bicycles. As daily Brompton commuters, we knew these bikes were ideal for urban mobility. Yet every attempt to upgrade them led to the same conclusion - existing drivetrain solutions were never designed with small-wheel frames in mind. Someone had to address this problem. That responsibility became ours. The Contavelo team began by rethinking the drivetrain from first principles. By combining years of global deep-tech and startup experience with real-world riding insight and urban usage context, we confronted the core issues of conventional shifting systems: excessive weight, structural complexity, and everyday inconvenience. The result is a simple yet robust gear structure that requires no frame modification and feels intuitive from installation to daily riding. Designed not only for technical reliability but also for real-world usability and global adoption, this system reflects a unified effort grounded in engineering discipline, rider experience, and market understanding. With years of accumulated expertise brought together as one team, we are now ready to share our cycling innovation with riders around the world.
