It's Not An Electric Bike, it's a Electric Assist Conversion For ANY BIKE. This is important. Most electric bikes come as a complete unit, consisting of a bike (often of poor quality and assembly, and sometimes strange looking) and the electric assist system is an integral part of the bike. Bionx put their effort into designing and manufacturing only the electric assist system - leaving the consumer to pick out ANY bike to use the system with. Even a bike you already own. Want to istall it on a cool new cruiser? No problem. A lightweight hybrid or road bike? That works too. Touring or mountain bike? - that's fine as well. YOU get to choose the bike that mates up to the system. You're not forced into buying a bike that doesn't work well or look nice.
It Works. Bionx systems work really, really well. Choose from varying levels of pedal assist, or simply hit the throttle and let the motor do all the work. Conversely, use the motor as a brake on descents to re charge the battery (hitting the brakes does this too!) - that's right, Bionx systems use regenerative braking. A lithium maganese battery keeps system weight down, and recharges quick and easy with the supplied charger that plugs into any standard wall outlet
It's Cheap To Operate. Charinging Bionx's battery costs from .03 to .07 cents and will get you 20 to 70 miles of range, depending on your system and situation.
Augment, Or Replace Your Car. Users in dense metro areas or quiet suburban communities can replace their cars with a Bionx equipped bicycle. No more auto expenses: gas, maintenenance, insurance, parking (and don't forget parking tickets!) Speaking of parking - you can park and lock your Bionx bicycle right in front of the store. Even if you don't replace your car entirely, Bionx makes it easier to stay out of your car - short trips and errands by car can be replaced by trips on your Bionx bike.
Really Be Green. You think a Prius makes you green? A Bionx system is truly emission free and virtually silent. It uses no gas. It's a genuinely simple, cheap way to reduce your footprint on the planet.
Can I Haul Groceries & Kids? Yes - We have lots of options for hauling things - from lightweight racks for groceries, to full on cargo extensions, like the Xtracycle, easily allowing you to haul two kids, and 4 bags of groceries.
Parking Tickets & Muni Be Damned. With your Bionx system, you'll beat Muni everytime, and those $50+ parking tickets when the meter runs out - you can get rid of those too.
