How Clip works

This device, which attaches to your bike's front fork, makes it an e-bike with ease. It is compatible with all city, road, and bikeshare bikes with 26-inch to 28-inch tires. The Commuter model weighs 8.8 pounds, while the Explorer model weighs 9.8 pounds. The device uses a friction-drive principle to provide propulsion and has a Bluetooth remote that lets you control the ride-assist feature.

The Clip, with its top speed of 15 mph and range of up to six miles on the Commuter model and 12 miles on the Explorer model, is an excellent choice for commuting or exploring. Its state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery pack is designed to maximize performance, while its innovative regenerative braking system recharges the battery while riding. Additionally, the Clip can be easily charged from a standard outlet, making it a convenient option for powering up on the go.

Even e-bike upgrades can cost between $650 and $1,200. However, Clip offers a more affordable solution that makes electric biking accessible to a broader range of bikers.
