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!

ESR is an affordable tech accessory brand we have been featuring around here for years. It delivers everything from Qi2 MagSafe chargers to iPhone car mounts and just about everything in-between at prices that tend to undercut just about everyone out there. Well today, it is taking its latest creation to Kickstarter to serve up some early bird deals on the new Geo Wallet with built-in Find My action. Pricing kicks off from just $38 for folks that opt in early (but you better act quick, as units are selling out fast) with delivery scheduled for September of this year. Head below for more details.
