The Clip is the fastest and easiest way to upgrade your bike. We recently wrote about Swytch, the e-bike conversion kit that you can attach to any regular bicycle. The Clip is a similar concept, but it’s even easier to install and detach!
Jimmy’s wife got to test out Clip on an old unused bicycle that had been collecting dust in the garage for years. What did she think of the Clip? First off, being able to install the Clip all by her non-techy self is a marvel and a testament to the simplicity of the design.
The Clip instantly breathed new life into the old pink single speed bike and Winnie was off exploring the neighborhood.
It takes seconds to install and uninstall, requires no tools, and is super portable. So if you have a favorite bike that you want to instantly convert into an ebike for your commutes, check out Clip.
