A team of entrepreneurs based in New York have developed an innovative and extremely convenient portable e-bike kit that is designed to make it possible for you to go ahead and upgrade your conventional, old-school bicycle into a fast-moving and eco-friendly two-wheeler.
The Clip, the result of a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, is built around a module that can be attached to the fork of any bicycle with a front wheel measuring 26 or 28 inches in diameter. This module is equipped with a lithium battery that works in conjunction with a roller device situated near the front tire, allowing the newly created e-bike to attain a top speed of 24 km/h.
While e-bikes themselves have grown in popularity in recent years, many bicycle owners may be reticent to purchase a second two-wheeler, which is where the portable and innovatively designed Clip e-bike kit adds value.
