This ad-on package combines high power with low weight, and good distance with riding fun!Rating 2007: Very goodPrice (Kit): 1,500 Euro
 

 
The BionX-System functions on almost every bike equipped with a derrailure gear system. The system was installed on our test bike (Univega MTB) in one hour by a bike dealer – experts require 30 min.

Specifics: in “normal mode” the motor is not engaged; there are four levels of motor engagement, and four levels where the system serves as a generator. The generator modes feed energy back into the battery by breaking while traveling downhill. This generating allows for a 7 to 16 percent longer riding-time. The efficiency of the system sets new standards and is unreached by production models; the variety of the system settings provides wonderfully for individual needs.


Pros
+ Strong motor break
+ Light
+ System specifics can be changed with software

Cons
-  Gear-pack mounting is “screw-on type”
-  With slow riding or breaking the motor vibrates
