CLIP

CLIP is a Brooklyn company that turns an existing bicycle into an e-bike. Founded in 2018 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard by co-founder and CEO Som Ray, CLIP.BIKE Inc. makes a portable unit that clips onto the bike in about five seconds and can be carried inside with the rider, so no new bike, bike shop or wiring is needed.

Two models are offered: the Commuter, with 6 to 8 miles of assistance, and the Explorer, with a dual battery for 12 to 18 miles. The device fits almost any bike but is not intended for cargo bikes or bikes with front suspension, and the hardware and firmware are designed and engineered in Brooklyn.
