The Brooklyn -based electronic bicycle converter clip has launched a bolt, an electric motor designed to convert standard bikes into electronic bicycles. The company is marketing this device as the most economical installation of electronic bike in the world, focusing on access to power transport in low and medium -sized communities and emerging markets.

Unlike traditional electronic bicycles, often starting at about $ 1,000 and rapidly rising, the Bolt becomes a low -cost alternative. It has a 450W engine and a replaceable battery system and offers pedal assistance up to 15 miles per hour (25 km / h).

The kit is installed on the fork in front of most adult bikes and this option for riders who want an electronic bike experience without buying a dedicated electric bike.

In the United States and Europe, the clip is selling for $ 250, including two 144 w battery packs. In emerging markets, Bolt is priced at $ 100 except battery, and users pay $ 5 per month to access the rechargeable battery through local partners.

“Bolt is designed to be really accessible and fair for people everywhere, from New York to New Delhi,” said Sam Ray, founder and CEO of the clip. “Screws the barriers to the price of traditional electronic bicycles while eliminating the maximum environmental impacts on a sustainable transport scale worldwide.”

Clamp Bolt as an environmental and social mobility tool, based on the high cost of traditional electronic bicycles, is an obstacle to widespread acceptance. The company said that more than 60 % of their riders came from low and medium -sized communities and intends to work with local organizations to expand access.

The product is marketed as a low -impact alternative to the full production of electronic bike, and the clip claims that the Bolt needs 50 times less resources to produce and has 30 times smaller logistics footprints than conventional electronic bikes. The system was built in Calcutta, India with local assembly in North America, Europe and India.

The clip has placed the screw as a destructive force at the reasonable price of an electronic bike, which tracks the device with a relatively rare design. Instead of a traditional ball or middle drive engine, the clip uses a friction drive that pushes against the front tire of the bike and forces it to move forward. The configuration of the front motor is especially different from the middle or rear electronic bike engines. In addition, the business sales model of its business means that individual riders are unable to buy the system directly and instead rely on third -party distribution networks.

The company has not yet announced special partnerships or large -scale deployments, although it has set the ambitious climate. It is claimed that the widespread acceptance of the screw can destroy 3.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.

Since Bolt seems to be entering the market, its impact on the growing electronic bike sector is not yet seen. If it proves that it is a reliable and reliable alternative to traditional electronic bikes.
