“Even after 11 miles and 666 vertical, Clip still showed 4 LED's of power.”

I rode 2600 miles last year on my Cannondale CAAD9 racing bike. I'm 56 and not in racing shape, and I live atop a 400-foot hill. I ordered Clip hoping it would let me ride to the store and stop burning gasoline.

“I love this bike attachment. Simple to clip on to my bike. Solid build. Very fast charging. Regenerative charging works great (when breaking/downhill). I have used it for long commutes (18 miles), but it's best for shorter rides.”

Nils C.Verified buyer · Loox
★★★★★May 2026

“Great. Fyi if you pick the bike up off the ground it might run the motor. Just put the remote back on the clip before lifting and the motor wont overcorrect.”

“With clip you can put it on whatever bike you want. I love that. Now that I have clip I have zero interest in buying an eBike.”

The ride was very smooth and Brooklyn hills were comfortable rides. It’s a well constructed device. I want a better how-to video post purchase.
