New Affordable Option: Company Launches ‘Cheap’ Conversion Kit That Promises to Transform Any Regular Bicycle Into Electric.
The electric bicycle has been gaining more space in the market, especially in Europe and Asia, thanks to being an economical and practical option for everyday use. However, in Brazil, the high cost is still a barrier for many interested parties. In this context, an innovative solution arises: a new ‘cheap’ conversion kit that promises to transform any regular bicycle into electric, making sustainable mobility more accessible.
Discover the Differentiators of the ‘Cheap’ Conversion Kit That Transforms Any Regular Bicycle Into Electric
The new conversion kit was launched by the urban mobility company CLIP. The kit that transforms a regular bicycle into electric is not exactly a novelty, as there are other models available for purchase on the market; however, this ‘cheap’ conversion kit promises to work in a simpler way.
The Clip is a portable and removable device activated by friction. Its electric motor housed in the casing features rollers that make contact with the front tire, propelling the vehicle and transforming a regular bicycle into electric. The friction activation on the ‘electric bicycle’ offers up to 24 km/h of speed depending on the weight of the bicycle.

According to the manufacturer, the conversion kit is compatible with practically any bicycle with 26 to 28-inch wheels. As the cover image of the article shows, the equipment is fixed in a fixed point on the front fork of the bicycle. According to the manufacturer, the user does not need any tools to transform their bike into an electric bicycle.
Kit That Transforms Regular Bicycle Into Electric Delivers 19 km of Range
The ‘cheap’ conversion kit to change a common bicycle model and transform it into an electric bicycle is sold in two versions: Explorer and Commuter. The main difference between the versions is the battery capacity. The Commuter provides a smaller battery of 96 watt-hours, takes 30 minutes to charge, and has a range of approximately 9 km.
The Explorer version, more powerful, provides a battery of 196 watt-hours, more than double the range (19 km); however, it needs an hour to be fully charged. The entry-level version of the kit that transforms a regular bicycle into electric meets certifications that allow transport on commercial airlines, according to the manufacturer CLIP.
Considering that an electric bicycle costs an average of R$ 5,000 in Brazil, products like this ‘cheap’ conversion kit are an alternative for those who already own a regular bicycle at home and do not want to spend so much on a new one.
The product starts at US$ 499, around R$ 2,600 at the current exchange rate, nearly half the price of an electric bicycle sold at retail. The issue is that similar accessories usually do not reach the national market and depend on importation, thus the final price is no longer attractive due to the fees.
E-Switchy Also Gains Recognition in the Mobility Market
In addition to this ‘cheap’ conversion kit that transforms a regular bicycle into electric, there are several other similar kits on the market.
Among them is the E-Switchy, which costs less than 600 euros and has a 5-minute installation time. The conversion kit is sold by Switchy, where the equipment is designed to provide easy and accessible ways to electrify any bicycle model.
The intention is simple yet powerful; the kits are sold in up to three different models, namely Switch One, Two, and Three, which promise to adapt to the requirements of each cyclist. The conversion is done very simply; just replace the front wheel with the one provided by the conversion kit.
