Development of Rubbee started in 2012. We’ve set out to engineer the ultimate all-in-one conversion kit with the easiest installation process.
We’ve introduced the first version of Rubbee conversion kit to the public. The 1.0 version was launched as a successful campaign on Kickstarter in the summer of 2013.
We’ve launched our own assembly line, built first Rubbee units and shipped them to our first customers. The 1.0 version needed further improvements so we’ve continued developing the electronics, battery technology and motor.
During 2015 we’ve introduced versions 2.0 and 2.5. They had improved quick-release mechanism, new batteries and improved software.
2015 was a big year for us because Rubbee 2.5 version started appearing in bicycle stores around Europe. Customers in Italy, Germany, Spain, France and many other European countries had their local sales agents.
In 2016 we’ve introduced the 3.0 version with Bluetooth and smartphone application connectivity. It had multiple power levels and overhauled motor driver.
In 2017 we’ve stopped producing and selling the 3.0 version and focused all our efforts on developing a new product from the ground up.
We’ve showcased Rubbee X in Eurobike 2017. It was a completely wireless method to make any bike electric. Some eyebrows were raised and some jaws were dropped.
In early 2018 we’ve finished our crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter and Indiegogo platforms. With the funds raised, we’ve set out to bring Rubbee X into large scale production.
In October of 2019 we’ve validated and launched our custom assembly line for Rubbee X. First test batch was built and multiple reliability tests were carried out to ensure longevity of the device.
As the first commercial batch of Rubbee X devices is ordered and being built, we’ve opened our e-store for the most excited of customers. We’re currently accepting pre-orders for the first batch which is due to be completed in January/February 2020.
