I owned a friction drive before and they called it the ZAP . You must run a slick type of tire and would only work with a dry tire . As soon as the tire got wet it would slip and no longer grab the tire .
@@jrutman4441 to be fair to it, I’d guess your rear tire is still gonna wear out before this thing wears your front out unless you’re peeling out in the rain, but if you have the latter issue you’d prob not being using it anyway… this does seem nice in a high theft area of somewhere sunny like CA tho…
they have one called Livall but there's no independent reviews on it. Someone is selling one on FB marketplace so I guess they are finally rolling them out.
I got the go trax electric bike for 599. It has a colored display, front and back lights, disc brakes, great seat and 5 different pedal asst modes. Why would anyone pay 600 dollars for the clip. If it was 200 I could see the reasoning.
@@ZeJaie I understand wanting to buy a standard bike. I don't understand buying the clip. Just buy an electric bike that you can still use as a standard bike if you want.
So, at first I thought the same, but for me this might be better than a full blown ebike, because I'm afraid a regular ebike battery might blow up at my work place while this being so small, I can detach it where I park (inside a university work shop) and walk it with me to the office in a battery bag where if anything happens, won't be as insane as an ebike battery blowing up, I'd have way more time to be able to get ir out of the building before causing damages
Why did they decide to have it mounted on the front wheel? Why not connect it from the seat post to the back wheel? from an aesthetic, and functional POV it makes sense, you'd reduce a bit of the width as well.
I think the best interface for an add-on device like this would be to have a sprocket to interface with or drive the chain directly rather than a tire.
I like that it charges anywhere from 30-60 min depending on the model. That's pretty quick so the range doesn't seem as bad. I think the appeal is that you can put it on almost any bike.
I didn’t even know this type of device was available on the market. Thank you for an outstanding review. I do, however, appreciate the excellent comments that showed some of the issues, like wet, tires, tire, type, and tire wear, that were not covered in the video. Thank you.
I was looking for an e-bike conversion kit for a while, most are sold overseas. I had placed my order for the clip based on your review and the fact that it’s located in Brooklyn NY. I actually live in Brooklyn and would like to support my local businesses. I’m looking forward to getting it and riding it, and will return to give my review of the Clip.
The one for $499 has a smaller battery than ANY e-bike I've seen so you'd really have to compare your $599 Amazon e-bike with the $599 version of this clip which is still tiny. I have a couple different e-bikes and one of them was only $1200 and has a 1.5 kWh battery. MANY times the battery capacity of the clip, you get an entire bike with hydraulic disc brakes, headlight, brake light, horn, can't wear out the tire or slip, color display and it's only the cost of two of these things. I'm surprised they sell any of these.
No stated negative comments will justify the most important problem of all .... The friction wear on the tire can cause an unsafe and useless tire in less than a month with daily use . The comment about slippage when tires get wet is another correct comment. I tried 3 friction types and speedy excessive wear was the result especially in friction pressure adjustment knob types. Zap bikes recommended slick tires because it more readily concealed the noticeable wear than treaded or knobby tires and more contact with the road in wet weather. Don't spring for ANY type or brand of friction propulsion, stick to sprocket/chain or sprocket/belt drive types or with current tech and prices stick to a factory E bike.
I'd decorate it to look like a Unicorn Horn. Great for people who want to join in on an epic ride but need a little assistance, or kids who change bikes every year or so due to growing.
Incredible idea! In fact, the person that uses this the most right now is a kid who will need a new bike in a year, so no need to buy her an ebike that she'll outgrow, just electrify her current bike... I love this!
They sell rear wheel conversions that turn regular bikes into e-bikes. They also have gas motor kits for bicycles. 😎👍 Google is, sometimes, your friend.
Both are total crap. Your resr wheel already holds most of your weight, most of the bike and everything you carry, now you want to add a 15# motor to short, barely crossed amd never laced spokes!?! It isn't a good idea and I see them fail at least weekly in my shop. I do like conversions, but torque sensing mid-drives (enor.ous difference).
If people didn’t install or maintain it well, it would also fall off the back of the bike if it came loose rather than falling in front of a moving bike tire.
Wanna know what I would do with this...I would build a mount on the back of the bike, turn it around & stick it on the back wheel. That would be sick, especially if they made a more powerful one.
I went to Ebike Essentials and purchased my 1000w Bafang kit and put it on my gravel bike. It was $1500 for everything including a battery. I've had it for 2 years with zero problems. My point is, spend the extra money and get something really really nice. These kits are just wonderful and almost too good to be true. Right now, they have the price way down on the kit you can probably get everything for $1200 right now. It is definitely worth every penny and more. My Bike can get up to 35 mph on flat land and if you utilize the gears you can really get it to work for you.
Best I can determine, which took a bit of effort, the cost is about $400 - $600 depending on which one you purchase. For the wattage, speed, and range at that price it's not something I'd purchase. But, I can see where it could be useful to a limited demographic. If they can get the price down to about $199 and the speed increased and the range up to 50 miles or so it might become mainstream.
This is a great invention for people that constantly having flat tires on e bikes and escooters. I have both and they are flat. I tried to change the tires on my ebike with no luck and theres no bike shop around that fix ebikes. With this clip i would i would be able to use it on regular bikes which is very simple to change tires. For 500$ mmmm im not sure tho maybe version 2.0 would be smaller and cheaper but great invention tho!
I have a small electric scooter that utilizes a friction drive that is forced against the rear wheel by the heel of one of your feet. It stops driving the tire when it gets wet, so you will probably find the same issue with this gadget. Maybe you could report on that.
I would get this and add it to the front of my wheel on my Electric bike. the back one already has a motor, so if i put this one up front ... wouldn't that double its power? range? so on?
thanks. my son has a light boardman . would be nice to put it on when i want to use it for ebiking to work in the morning. love how simple it is. though i guess will be expensive down the line to replace battery which is a big con.
They had a similar one 40 years ago, but for 34 MPH and a lot of miles. I'll stick with the 26 inch front wheel electric. Plus I don't have to carry it around to keep it from being stolen like yours. Pretty good infomercial you made though.
For the charging light if that bothers you just block it or put a piece of dark tape over it until it is done charging. And the battery plug while riding get a rubber grommet. But other than that it look okay
I hope that they fixed the problem with the extra wire on the tire which would I guess be the reason why I haven't seen one of them since the 1990s is good to see that they came out with a new version that looks a lot easier to mount
"Won't work with front suspension." That sentence killed it for most bikes right there. I guess it's geared toward Southern California Beach Cruisers. The application seems very niche. That's why they're so expensive. They'll sell twenty-five of them. Great review video though.
There is no such thing as a suspension fork designed for comfort. 100% are for off road control. If soft enough for road imperfections they would dive dangerously in stopping. Quality road bikes, gravel bikes, single speeds, fixies, cruisers, better hybrids and classic bikes have no suspension (suspension stems and seat posts work well).
$500. He makes it sound like it is not valuable for theft, haha. Just buy an ebike, you have none of those limitations that he mentioned. I have a feeling the engineering on this won't hold up over time, something these reviews never review (often for obvious reasons)
So could you mount a solar panel to say a rear carry rack and run wire up to the unit! Would it charge while riding, or definitely if you sat somewhere to rest for half hour! Or would solar be a longer charge than 110/120 outlets 🤔
True,but not everyone is mechanically inclined. Majority of people could easily install and uninstall this,Its the Convenience factor that makes this appealing. I do think they should redesign it to fit the rear tire and add more power to make it class 2 20 mph. I quite like it though,True innovation
@@EdmundSampson-pd7vi That's how it's more wear, instead of using gears to add power. You're now using fricton on the rubber, which wears it down, to accelerate. It's why burn outs make you go through rubber. This thing will eat up more rubber, especially if it jumps a little
I got a qiroll like ages ago for a couple hundred....worked pretty well and super decrete setup. This thing looks like a giant song on the front. I so would be 3d printing some giant balls to go with it haha.
Those old coaster brake bikes are super damgerous. I nearly died on abike with one. When the hub rusts, the freewheeling mechanism inside can lock up and the pedals start turning the same speed rhe back wheel is turning. I'd suggest changing the hub if you believe it's rusted.
A very cool concept. I think this is absolutely perfect if you only use your bicycle for commuting and already have a bicycle that you like. For people who use their bicycle for other things though, like going grocery shopping or in my case, doing deliveries, the insecure nature of how the Clip sits on the bicycle is going to make it less appealing due to needing to take it on and off the bike so frequently. In the future I would like to see a model that has a more secure connection to the frame so you can leave the Clip on the bicycle without worrying about it being stolen, as a courier and someone who uses my bicycle for everyday tasks, that would be the most important thing. Really nice product though, I look forward to seeing what else this company does.
It’s so many e-bikes out there I don’t know where to start I like this idea i just wish it didn’t look so nerdy lol I wish they made it more compact and fit the rear
$500 Bucks i paid 635 for the best EBike Shipoing included It goes 38mph and its Small and Folds. Specs say it gors 27mpr they lied and Im a Satisfied Customer 100% Best investment Ive made in a while! Ive charged it 3 times in 8months and only because i eas taking a long trip I ride it everyday. Your very good at What you do! Love the review 👍 Im truly appreciate that everything I thought of you had the answer to it! Maybe you can invent a better DooHicky Ebike Thingy 😂 I got My Trex which i also Enjoy but this thing is way to exspensive for the Perks and it has dollorr tree button & a Locomotive Train blinking light 😳 Great Review! Id buy it if it wasnt for that $500 to much plastic I did like that it has Area on it to Personalize with Art or Graffics! 👍 Id pay 200 "MAYBE" with Shipping included I cant see The Longivity in it! It looks disposable! And Money isnt! Thanks 4 review 👍👍👍👍👍
First off thanks for this great video. You effectively demonstrated the simplicity and flexibility of the system. The early E-bike had a front wheel drive motor mounted over the front wheel with a sanding drum roller for wet and dry traction but eat up you tires, Perhaps they can come up with a gritted rubber roller. Some folks don't see the point of using this for the price if you can get an great E-bike for about the same price. Flexibility! Imagine you are going to the beach, you can carry this and rent a old beach cruiser for the time you are there and e-bike it everywhere. great for travel. But I do agree with the many who wished they had designed it for the rear wheel and there are a few on the market.
At about $500 USD it's in that "may as well purchase an actual Ebike" territory. They'd have to figure out how to get the price down to at least $350 and that's "pushing it."
They should have made this for the rear wheel. Just attach it to the angled frame pipes. That way the weight doesnt swing when you turn. I bet I could rig that to the rear wheel. Because it only being for non front suspension bikes makes it almost useless. Still lots of hardtails that could work for though. I have a Gary fisher and an ebike. Id like this for the gary fisher hardtail.
Price is definitely the problem. For 150-250 I would be all over this for my bike and probably buy one for my friend. We live 9 miles from town and this would be great to help going up a particular long hill with groceries on the back, however for $500+ I'll just admire it from here.
I think that it might appealing to more people if it were a lot cheaper (you can buy a whole ebike for what this costs), and its a neat idea, but limited use
It's not a new idea I've seen something like this one a motor drive rubbing on exterior the one I've seen online was like a moped a vintage bike, disadvantage it will eat up your exterior, eating dirt, eating poop, it will clogg up
Intriguing, but it's definitely not for me. I'm interested to see how this holds up long-term though, I have a feeling it won't hold up well and would probably chew up your front tire pretty quickly.
Yeah there are good ebikes for less then 1200$ 720w battery and lots more power. And range. This is one thats definetly going to fail. Nobody wants this.
I owned a friction drive before and they called it the ZAP . You must run a slick type of tire and would only work with a dry tire . As soon as the tire got wet it would slip and no longer grab the tire .
Ahh so useless for good portion of the year in somewhere like Seattle.
I was wondering about that, also.... I'll assume it would make your your wear much greater too
@@jrutman4441 to be fair to it, I’d guess your rear tire is still gonna wear out before this thing wears your front out unless you’re peeling out in the rain, but if you have the latter issue you’d prob not being using it anyway… this does seem nice in a high theft area of somewhere sunny like CA tho…
Oh ya , big time , because it is always chewing up the tire .
I remember some of the go peds having this problem
It would look so much better if it clipped to the rear wheel.
It would also be safer. Weight is much smaller on the front wheel and slipping is so much easier. I say that based on my own experience!
The motor need wind to cold the motor temperature. The overheat motor will cut its lifetime.
@@YEN_calisthenics it doesn't need to be in front to catch air.
wouldn't that make you ride backward?

I think rear racks are common enough to discourage a rear mounted version. At least this design would most easily fit a lot more bikes.
I think the best interface for an add-on device like this would be to have a sprocket to interface with or drive the chain directly rather than a tire.

you can get an ebike conversion kit for under $300 and a battery for under $200
batteries are at least half of the cost of any ebike, so even the cheapest conversion will still be pricy with a comparable battery capacity.
If u buy an e bike for $199 you’re probably buying a broken product lol

Yeah. It's a neat idea to clip onto any regular bike but it just can't compare to a hub motor.

Exactly right?
Hola, podéis hacer un video para probarlo en bicletas plegables, Brompton? Gracias
Nice video. Product is new to me. Would love price to be closer to 300. Would have purchased today.
Batteries alone can cost $300
Have you guys tried running it on the back tire? Would it even work?
Does it fit on the rear tire? I think it would look less awkward on the back
If people didn’t install or maintain it well, it would also fall off the back of the bike if it came loose rather than falling in front of a moving bike tire.
I clicked on the link but did not take me to where I can buy it!!!!

This is a pretty cool idea but it does look kinda silly. But very innovative and a step in the right direction.
what's silly? you just aren't used to seeing it on the bike
Think this would be cool to have if you were using those rental city bikes, and you could convert them to an e-bike.
Sure like to see a video of that
All the city rental bikes here in SF are already electric.
It would look so much better on the rear tire. for 500 bucks you could also just buy a 250-350 watt hub kit and probably get better performance?
True,but not everyone is mechanically inclined. Majority of people could easily install and uninstall this,Its the Convenience factor that makes this appealing.

Its a very impressive item for what it is and how versatile it can be. Its more about design than performance
Tire friction and wear makes the design impractical. The better the design the more increased daily use, thus even increased tire wear.
@@mikelisanti4886 how is it more wear? It's literally a rubber wheel against another wheel 😅

That is great for friends that want ti ride with me but don't have an Ebike.
What you never said through the whole video, was how many miles it would go total. We want to know how long the battery will last.
Not a fan of the "front" mount. Would prefer rear mount, with allowance for a rear basket. Price makes no sense.
I’m going to wait for the HD automobile version 😉.

*Bit insane but bit clever!*
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
That’s what they say about anything different and innovative
500 bucks? No way. Just buy a lectric or a rad bike.
Correct. Price does not worth.
It costs 500
Rather spend that much on food to refuel the legs.
It’s so many e-bikes out there I don’t know where to start I like this idea i just wish it didn’t look so nerdy lol I wish they made it more compact and fit the rear
I wonder if a little mod, install it on back wheels instead. 🤔🤔🤔
Install front and back, and maybe there's a way to pair them to the same throttle button. :D

Is it compatible with mountain bikes either multiple gears
Woah! Didn't know this was made in India❤ 0:23
Everything made in asia
What if you get stuck in the rain? Is it water proof?

Id pay 200 "MAYBE" with Shipping included I cant see The Longivity in it! It looks disposable! And Money isnt! Thanks 4 review 👍👍👍👍👍
First off thanks for this great video. You effectively demonstrated the simplicity and flexibility of the system. The early E-bike had a front wheel drive motor mounted over the front wheel with a sanding drum roller for wet and dry traction but eat up you tires, Perhaps they can come up with a gritted rubber roller. Some folks don't see the point of using this for the price if you can get an great E-bike for about the same price. Flexibility! Imagine you are going to the beach, you can carry this and rent a old beach cruiser for the time you are there and e-bike it everywhere. great for travel. But I do agree with the many who wished they had designed it for the rear wheel and there are a few on the market.
At about $500 USD it's in that "may as well purchase an actual Ebike" territory. They'd have to figure out how to get the price down to at least $350 and that's "pushing it."
I had a Ridekick power trailer. With that i could carry groceries and it would push the bike.
Let’s gooo!!! 😊
They should have made this for the rear wheel. Just attach it to the angled frame pipes. That way the weight doesnt swing when you turn. I bet I could rig that to the rear wheel. Because it only being for non front suspension bikes makes it almost useless. Still lots of hardtails that could work for though. I have a Gary fisher and an ebike. Id like this for the gary fisher hardtail.
is there one that works with a bike that has suspension?
Will it work on a tricycle? Steel frame ?
Price is definitely the problem. For 150-250 I would be all over this for my bike and probably buy one for my friend. We live 9 miles from town and this would be great to help going up a particular long hill with groceries on the back, however for $500+ I'll just admire it from here.
I think that it might appealing to more people if it were a lot cheaper (you can buy a whole ebike for what this costs), and its a neat idea, but limited use
It's not a new idea I've seen something like this one a motor drive rubbing on exterior the one I've seen online was like a moped a vintage bike, disadvantage it will eat up your exterior, eating dirt, eating poop, it will clogg up
Its not world first there are plenty others.
Netherlands has then too. Another had a Kickstarter in UK also a long time ago.
Wow that's loud 😮 nice relaxing ride 😅
That looks fun but way too dangerous!!!
15 mph is no joke, I wouldn't do it
Não pode inverter e instalar na traseira?
These guys came in to my store and caused havoc because they didn't even know what kind of bike it would work on 😂
I'd like to know how it does on an adult trike.
Intriguing, but it's definitely not for me. I'm interested to see how this holds up long-term though, I have a feeling it won't hold up well and would probably chew up your front tire pretty quickly.
can i put it on the back wheel?
couldn't you attach it to the rear wheel instead? So then it's not so front-heavy
How much does this tire popping device cost?
I want to see it at 200 or 250 300 max
For what it is, it's a bit pricy. I'd consider it at 200-300 but $500 for less than 10 miles of distance is a bit unrealistic.
Yeah there are good ebikes for less then 1200$
720w battery and lots more power.
And range. This is one thats definetly going to fail. Nobody wants this.
0:12 “this machine fights climate change” trash/graveyard batteries beg to differ 😂
And you definitely need to remove it when parked. Short distance, and low speed. Maybe for someone with a short commute with a couple hills.
Does anyone know where I can get a faster one??
Where can i get this in the philippines?
Can i install in on the back
It’s so many e-bikes out there I don’t know where to start I like this idea i just wish it didn’t look so nerdy lol
Que precio tiene y donde lo Compton? Mandenme un me same por favor ME URGE,gracias.
