It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Dead simple to use, the Clip offers up to 12 miles of electric range for your bike.

At $499 for the Commuter model

Its range is pegged at "up to 12 miles,"

And there's the deal breaker.

This seems like an interesting alternative to replacing your wheel and mounting a battery somewhere on your frame.

But without any range, it's not worth the sacrifices in handling and cost.

It's even worse, the 12 mile range is the explorer model for $599.

The Commuter model offers half the battery capacity, charge time, and range.

The commuter model is more like 6 miles max range.

I believe they call this sort of thing a solution in search of a problem.
