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.

sure! I got the 12 mile one for 400 dollars. I kickstarted this years ago, and they let me pick which one I wanted when it was time to ship to me.

I think it works well for my use case. it gets me where I need to go, and using it to brake instead of the normal brakes on my bike charges my battery so I can go further.

i don't like how heavy it feels in the front. it feels like when I turn my front wheel too fast, it can fling off. the latches that grab onto the fork of my bike are very secure, and I always try to fling it off my bike before riding every time because I made a mistake the first time when using it; it came off while I was riding because I didn't latch it properly to my bike. it won't happen if you secure it properly, like I did not do the first time, but live and learn.

would I recommend this? I would only recommend the 12 mile range for the price it's listed if you are curious about ebikes and already have a bike that this works with. it's a great entry point price imo.
