A Note from the CEO

A Note from the CEO

I’d like to thank you for choosing CLIP for your biking needs.

We designed CLIP to provide just the right amount of bicycling assistance one typically needs in the majority of urban commutes at an affordable price point with an optimal manufacturing footprint. We like to call it the "common-sense" solution.

Together we are working towards a future where clean, sustainable mobility is the norm.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

Manufacturing & Logistics Impact

CLIP is a product of common sense, producing a fraction of the waste of a typical e-bike, with sufficient power & range for 80% of all urban commutes, and an affordable price point to redefine urban mobility for a smarter, more sustainable future.

We’re commited to building CLIP with a minimal manufacturing impact. Today CLIP’s manufacturing emissions impact is 4X less than that of an e-bike and 38X less than an electric car.

CLIP’s shipping and logistics impact is 1/50th of a typical e-bike.

Climate Mission

We worked with NYSP2I to conduct a high-level comparative analysis of the potential energy use and GHG impact for CLIP’s technology versus multiple modes of transportation such as cars, public transit, and walking.

The results found the potential exists to reduce the annual GHG emissions associated with NYC commuters by approximately 12,900 MT CO2e.
