CLIP.BIKE designs devices that turn the bike you already own into an e‑bike. No new bike, no bike shop, no wires.
Designed and engineered in BrooklynClean mobility more people can afford.
The world already has the bikes. Most just need a boost to replace a car trip.
Half of all urban trips are 3 miles or less. A new e‑bike costs thousands and needs a place to live. So we electrify the bike you already own, at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
Two ways to power up the bike you have.
Clips onto your front wheel in 5 seconds, no tools. Moves between bikes and comes inside with you. Smooth assist up to 15 mph over bridges and gentler hills.
