  • Electric Propulsion System

      "What is the maximum speed of your E-Bikes?"

      In order to comply with Federal Laws governing Electric Bicycles, all our systems will provide you with power assistance and throttle speeds up to 20Mph. The bikes can go faster than that by pedaling harder or going downhill. This speed limit is The Law and helps to keep your ride safer. The US Laws are really not that bad compared to the European Laws that do not allow throttle operated E-Bikes and assisted speeds over 15Mph.

      "How long will the battery last?"

      There are many factors that influence the range and life expectancy of the Lithium Manganese battery. The Li-Mn batteries we sell are among the safest and have the best energy density currently available. Over time the battery will lose its capacity. As the owner, the way you treat your battery greatly determines its lifespan. The most important factors to take into account are; - power consumption use/riders weight/road conditions - battery care and charging cycles. Therefore the life expectancy of the battery will vary per rider. In the future, you will be able to find brand new replacement batteries on our accessories page. Refer to the BionX User Guide(Page 19 to 21) for more information on how to get the most out of your battery.

      "Do I have to wear a helmet riding an East Coast E-Bike?"

      Check your local laws and regulations! Coming from a country where people generally don’t wear helmets on their bicycles, I am not going to tell you to wear a helmet. It is good to feel and be safe and if a helmet helps you with that then please do wear one. Instead I would like to point out that you are required to wear a helmet if local laws tell you to and to consider wearing a helmet in all other cases.

      "Do you sell the bikes with the PL-500 Watts?"

      No we don’t. Let me tell you why. The BionX PL-500 motor kit has less torque and shorter operational range then the PL-350. In order to gain the 6 Mph extra speed the system sacrifices power at lower speeds.
