We have been covering many electric two wheelers including bicycles too. But here it’s not a whole electric bicycle that I’m talking of. Electric bike motor conversion kits can be put on any bicycle that you are already possessing or are planning to buy. Called as Bionx, it is ideal for riders that want to ride longer and keep up with the pack or those that want help up hills and against the wind. The system that includes a control console, a battery and a wheel/motor can be installed on most bicycles by replacing the rear wheel with the Bionx motor-wheel. So be it for a basic cycling on the roads of the city or steep slopes if mountains, this seven pound, 350 watt gearless and brushless motor will enable you to defy the hills, the wind, and even a faster cyclist.
Offering a Bionic sensation, it lowers the level of fatigues and adds to the pedal stokes with ease. Four assistance levels enhances the cyclist’s effort by 25%, 50%, 100% or 300%, allowing him to ride faster while giving the same effort. Or ride at the same speed with less effort. Moreover it also reduces the weight of the bike. The lithium-manganese battery charges in three hours and go for seventy miles, even as it can be recharged while braking or going downhill.
In the video Alex from Bionx explains the inner workings of the Bionx motor.
