CLIP BIKE
Attach the 'e' in e-bike
How does it work?
CLIP is a portable consumer device – designed to instantly upgrade any bike including a shared bike to a pedal-assist e-bike at a fraction of the price of a traditional e-bike. CLIP's powerful friction drive delivers smooth power on demand to make any urban commute easy as the breeze.
Optimised for the urban commuter, users can Activate CLIP when facing an uphill climb or coast that last stretch to ones destination.
Why is it needed?
CLIP was designed keeping in mind the urban commuter and to encourage more urban commuters to make the switch to biking to work. With CLIP you will comfortably be able to bike a distance of up to a 10-15 mile commute in ~45 mins.
Furthermore, E-bikes are expensive and they get stolen a lot. CLIP is as light as a laptop, fits in your backpack and charges from zero to 100 in 40 minutes.
How does it improve life?
CLIP Bike's mission is to empower the world to adopt biking as their primary choice for urban mobility.
By switching to CLIP, NYC commuters would save ~1.5M gallons of gasoline and eliminate ~12,900 metric tonnes of Co2 emissions every year.
