You'll go straight to hell for that, Supermack!

5-6000 miles I think. I managed to reset the mileage once without beig 100% sure what it was before :o Mainly full assist for that time.

To clarify my point about 30 months: I did not notice any drop in battery performance in those first 30 months. The battery is still very useable now, at about 40 months I think it is, but does not last as long.

I'd say the regen helps with braking all the way to a stop - it will bring me to a stop on any long steep hills around here without touching the brakes themselves - not very effectively on its own, mind you. If I'm out on a particularly long or battery sapping ride I'll use regen down hills...

The best thing about regen to my mind, having done a few thousand miles on a Bionx bike, is the improvement to stopping distances which, on one occasion, I think saved me from T-boning a car that nipped out and then stopped in front of me. It also helps in icy conditions. Cheers Nick

I've had a Bionx 350 for over three years, my wife's had hers for a couple I think. We bought them from NyceWheels in New York for about £1000 each and have been very satisfied with the purchases - good quality kit, great service from NyceWheels. Not cheap, as people have said, but I've recouped...

Yeah, I didn't keep track of what I was doing the first time either :p It's not something I've experienced but hopefully it's easily fixed - let us know how it turns out.

There are a few things you could check. Firstly, I would re-set everything that has been changed, making and testing each change separately rather than doing them all together - hopefuly you made some notes. There is a chance that you may have set something wrong, perhaps setting the level of...

I just tighten the back wheel up as normal with a standard ring, open ended or socket spanner and haven't had any problems or noticed any differences in torque sensing.

Gosh, you've... really got some nice toys here...

My wife's Li-Mn battery and my Li-ion battery are interchangeable on our bikes, and use the same charger.

Hi Ron I've had a BionX 350 for a few years now and use it for commuting as well as general riding about, and I've not had any problems with rain. My wife has a BionX too and, although she doesn't use it as much, she's not had any problems with rain either. All I can think is that, as...

Thanks for that, very interesting. As an aside, I've seen a couple of comments along the lines of the BionX kit not being discrete which, compared to the Cytonex I'd agree with, but when it's compared to most other ebikes, I'm not so sure - can't say I'm bothered though, but people's...

Hi John, I see in HarryB's thread that you commented that the performance of the Bionx is better than the Cytronex - if I read right. I've had a 350W Li-ion Bionx for a few years and wouldn't be without it, but have been intrigued by the Cytronex. I'm not actually in the market for one, but it...

As Flecc said, I've had my 350W Bionx some time now and am just as pleased with it today as I was when I first bought it, though I think I paid about £1000 for it, and already had a Trek hybrid to fit it to. My wife's bought one too but not used it as much and has a problem with the torque...

I've only had a quick look through this thread I'm afraid, but mine is the Bionx review linked to on the first page. I can only speak from experience and have had no problems at all (quite the reverse) in dealing with NyceWheels in New York. The kit is expensive but very easy to fit and works a...

Saddles just seem to be down to personal preference I think. I had a cheap gel thing which was pretty good until it fell apart after a few years, and now have a Terri Fly which is OK - it's a relatively narrow and hard design which is more comfortable than it looks, but I'd not want to ride for...

BikerBob I would try to research this more thoroughly with your surgeon and also the prosthetic manufacturer if you can find out who it is. As you say, cycling may not be a good idea, but it is possible to get more than 90 degrees knee bend after a knee replacement for some people, but it...

eBay - any good?

Hi John I gave up trying to find an 11 tooth freewheel for our two Bionxeseseses and got a couple of Zeniths from Byercyclesinstead, with this ratio: 13 – 14 – 15 - 16 – 17 – 19 – 21 The close ratios work very well for me as well as my wife. I know it's not what you were asking after...
