This company has been electrfying the Birdy for about 4 years now with the Bionx system Electric Birdy -- Only at JV Bike ... You can see two other ways of mounting the battery. They have been saying for years that the Bionx/Birdy combo is a match made in heaven and now it looks like Birdy is...

First to Brebis...The console is very high quality and the only thing i find missing is cadence. There is a reset for battery strength.....no problems with the 350. To tepol. The 350 is very good hill climber. It is a true pedelec and will give power in proportion to your input. In level 4...

The Bionx 350 system has a max set at 34kph (20mph)in the Canadian system . It will pull to 24 kph (15mph) at full power then do reduced power to 34kph before it cuts out. If you derestrict with the codes it will not cut out (I have had mine still assisting at 52kph (over 30mph). Using the...

Before I bought the Bionx system that is what I thought but when you drive it and see the benefits in braking power and how you can save battery power buy using regen 1 or 2 when going down a hill it becomes a real benefit. (I sometimes use regen 3 or 4 and pedal when going down hill) I...

Here in Canada the Bionx dealers are regular bike shops that sell top end bikes. The dealers see an advantage to being able to equip most bikes they sell with this system. I would approach a bike shop and give them the Bionx website and see if they are interested. If you order directly from...

When I first got my Bionx installed I had trouble keeping the rear wheel nuts tight. They would come loose after about 20 km of hard use. I asked the local bike shop and he put it up on his bike stand and added 1 flat washer to each side and that cured the problem. Not the split lock washer ...

Do not forget the BionX equiped bikes plus Matra and OHM that are using this system on their production bikes. This system equals (if not betters) the "rideability" of the Panasonics. I know that these are not readily available in the UK but the kit is a viable option for someone wanting...

I agree it would be nice if all the large SUV were replaced by the smaller vehicles but the problem seems to be in India and China were these vehicles will increase the carbon footprint of each individual in an already very heavy populated area. Yes (as JHA07 reported) the gas prices are high...

When you read articles like this one you can really see why the e-bike revolution is not progressing faster and how our environment is in grave danger. When you look at this car you wonder what the price of a good e-bike would be if it was awarded this much attention by a large manufacturer...

To answer JimmyE my 350 with Li-ion has a combined weight of 15.6 pounds or about 7kg. (6.8lbs. battery and 8.8 for the motor) It is important to remember that you are not just adding this weight to the bike because you are removing the rear rim, bearings and axle. I think the total weight added...

My experience is totally opposite to JimmyEnglands. I find the kit I used better than the production bikes. The Bionx kit is expensive but well worth it . 1.The console is amazing. 2.The bike handles with no friction and can be ridden with power off. 3. The battery is removed with a turn of...

I would recommend the Bionx kit for any bike. It is a kit that is very light and powerful and enhances any bike. You will not notice it on the bike as the motor is frictionless and you can ride with the power off. The 350 watt 36volt kit on a Dahon Mu SL weighs in at 16 kg (35.5 lbs.)!!! Thats...

And this is a trailer free method.....not sure about a 10 foot board and a cross wind!!! Electric bicycles and electric mountain bikes - Surf board rack

Another advantage of the Bionx system that should be mentioned here is that the regenerative braking really enhances braking power and saves the brakes. The magnetic sensor is set up on the rear brake lever so that the motor goes into regen mode when the brake lever is used. Mine is set so that...

Since you already have the bike or bikes I would recommend one of the great kits that are out there. I made the mistake of buying a new bike and adding the Bionx kit thinking I would still use my road bike and mountain bike because I thought nothing would be able to replace them. The reality is...
