CLIP is a Brooklyn-based startup that unveiled a portable e-motor device in 2019 that can be attached to virtually any bicycle, instantly converting it into an e-bike. The device clips onto the front fork of a standard pedal bike, straddling the wheel. Its self-contained friction-drive system uses a small rubber roller to turn the wheel, providing consistent pedal assistance along the way.
