P-250 Model
With its proportional power-assist technology, 3.5 kg brushless and maintenance free motor as well as its 4,1 kg NiMH battery, this model will undoubtedly continue, in 2006, to win riders’ hearts.  

PL-250 Model 
BionX is launching a new and more efficient battery : the Lithium Ion. Weighing only 2.8 kg, this new battery will provide 16% longer autonomy. In addition to possessing all the P‑250 advantages, this model will appeal to cyclists who are looking for longer rides and for whom weight is crucial. An outstanding technological step intended for those who really love to ride.

P-350 Model 
For those who are always looking for more power, BionX is introducing its brushless and maintenance free 350W motor combined with a NiMH 36V battery. More powerful, this system is bi-modal: proportional power-assist as well as throttle-power. Well indicated for tricycles, this model will please cyclists who are seeking power.

PL-350 Model 
Still more powerful, and lighter than ever. With its brushless and maintenance free 350W motor weighing only 4.15 kg and its new hi-tech 3.1 kg 36V Lithium Ion battery, BionX was able to create the ideal system. At approximately the same weight as the P-250, this model offers a much more powerful motor along with a Lithium Ion 36V battery containing near twice the amount of energy contained in the 24V NiMH battery. This system will please long distance riders as much as less experienced cyclists looking for a light system.

Control Console

Console
  • Assistance: Controls the 4 assistance levels.

The analog display, indicates the power supplied by the battery.

  • Generative: Controls the 4 generative settings.

The analog display indicates the energy transmitted to the battery.

  • The console includes a multifunctional odometer that displays the following information:
  • current speed
  • distance travelled
  • odometer
  • trip meter
  • average speed
  • The control console includes a battery charge indicator that helps you manage the battery charge in order to prevent running out of energy on the return trip.
  • The console also includes an alarm system with a 4-digit PIN (personal identification number). When the alarm system is activated, two wheel turns are enough to set it off. From that moment, the motor goes into generative mode 4 and the alarm sounds.
  • The bicycle’s maximum speed is programmable. It can be adapted to the local regulations of any country.
  • Canada: 32 km/hr
  • Europe: 25 km/hr
  • USA: 20 miles/hr

Maintenance

The motor requires no maintenance. It is equipped with a magnetic field drive technology and there is no friction inside the motor, thus no wear.

Installation

The motor can be installed on most bicycles, simply by replacing the rear wheel of your bicycle with the BionX wheel and wheel motor.

The BionX system can be installed on a tandem, folding bike, recumbent or 24-speed bicycle. It is also available for disc-brake bicycles on special order

Can my batteries be overcharged by leaving them plugged into the charger too long?
No. The charger that comes with your Bike Electrified kit is a smart charger. It will shut itself off when your battery pack reaches a full charge, but it is always a good idea NOT to leave your battery pack plugged in all the time. Just unplug the charger when the charger light is green.
Batteries

Installation
The battery is installed on a rail using the water bottle holes allowing you to install and remove your battery within 5 seconds. No other battery can be installed/removed so easily. It is also possible to install the batery on a back carrier.
