Review: The CLIP e-bike conversion kit refreshes century-old tech into a new modern design

The world (and life) moves fast and we humans can only do enough in our lives to keep up with it as best we can. One growing aspect that many are trying to find solutions to in the modern world is how to get to all our daily appointments – work, school, social events – in the most affordable and environmentally conscious way. While EVs are certainly the best current answer to the growing questions, they can often fall outside of reach for many due to costs. Solution: conversion kits, like the CLIP, which boasts the title of “the world’s first & only plug-and-play e-bike upgrade.” While many existing kits fall into the category of mountable hub motors, this device, on the other hand, uses inventive new ideas by building upon decades-old technology. That’s why I was absolutely giddy when I was first approached to test out the CLIP and visit the office here in NYC. You can continue reading below to get my hands-on impressions of this ingenious new device – and be sure to check out the short video of my ride too!

Review: Yeedi M12 PRO+ Robot Vac and Mop – the next generation of fully autonomous cleaning solutions

Trying to choose the perfect Robot vacuum and/or mop in today’s market can be quite an overwhelming experience. Without extensive knowledge of companies or their designs, it can seem like there is always some new or alternate feature that gets in the way of making any final decisions. If you had asked me years ago which models are best for everyday cleaning solutions without needing to babysit it, I’d likely have said that the big brand robots all sport similar performances – especially in the era of “bumper bots.”

In 2024, however, my sentiments towards preferable models has definitely shifted and solidified around a few key brands that are truly putting out innovative changes with each new robot. One of the most advanced – and absolute favorites that I’ve interacted with – has been the brand new Yeedi M12 PRO+ that I’ve gotten to know over these past weeks. Yeedi has truly outdone itself with this model, and deserves a moment to take a bow for their endeavors here. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of its features, what to expect during setup, as well as my personal impressions alongside a few key tips to keep in mind when installing it in your home (especially because, as amazing and life-changing as this tech has been, it is not perfect, just like every other elevated model worth your consideration).

Father’s Day gift ideas – Electric Tools: Update Dad’s DIY arsenal with mowers, trimmers, washers, and more from $20

Tools! From $20

Many of us grow up seeing our Dads as the Pontiffs of DIY jobs around the house – whether that’s lawncare, power washing the driveway and walkways, building fences, patios, gazeebos, etc. – and if your Dad is anything like mine, he is likely using the same tools from 10+ years ago out of familiarity, lack of funds, or – as mine likes to say – “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But electric tools have come a long way in the last decade alone, especially with gas-powered equipment now rivaled by battery-powered counterparts to not only make getting tasks done easier, but also without extra financial obligations like keeping a five-gallon gas cannister regularly filled in your garage (or using gas to drive to a station to then fill the cannister and/or car). That’s why we’ve curated this handy little guide together for a full rundown on some of the best electric tools and equipment to refresh Dad’s tool shed.

Leading the pack is the RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike for $1,599 shipped. Down from its new $1,799 price tag since the company lowered prices across its lineup of models, we’ve seen this particular model at lower rates only twice in the past – once over the last summer when it dropped to $1,399 and during its pre-order launch sale when we saw it dropped to $1,299 (which it has never returned to). This is the third-lowest price overall and the second-lowest price we’ve seen since it was released, matching Black Friday rates but with the added bonus of a free extra battery – valued at $500 – giving you $700 in total savings. Just be sure to add both items to your cart to score the battery for free with your purchase.

Save up to $300+ on TENWAYS CGO series e-bikes with bonus savings starting from $1,499

$300+ off From $1,499

TENWAYS, an e-bike manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands, has discounted its two CGO series e-bike models by up to $400 through April 30, with bonus savings and bundle options available, which we discuss further down. The first of the two models is the CGO600 Pro e-bike for $1,499 shipped. Down from a more regular $1,899 price tag, discounts on these e-bikes seem far less common than the bigger, more famous brands that have been around longer like Aventon, Juiced, or Rad Power. Today’s deal is the lowest price we have tracked for this particular model, coming in as a 21% markdown off the going rate and landing within a more affordable range alongside other popular brands. Keep in mind that only the Pebble Grey colorway is discounted by $400, with the other colorways receiving $300 discounts.
