BionX Special Edition 48v Electric Bike Kit

As of 2012 - Kits ship with Silver motor and battery.

The new BionX special edition electric bike kit is now in stock and I thought you'd like to see us open the first box. The BionX SL XL kit is lighter and better looking than ever.

They're a great alternative for gas engine, still got some oumph with the 350 watt motor, with assisted pedaling you get a respectable 45 mile range, and, as a personal preference, I enjoy the feel of electric assistance because I still feel like I'm riding a normal bike. In any case, thanks for watching our videos and for posting. Keep in touch- jack

Sorry to hear about your experience, it's these types of scams that make us work hard to keep connected with our customers, and make sure they're well taken care of. - Jack

@electricyclist We've been wanting to make a BionX movie for a while now, this seemed like a great way to kick it off! -Peter

[nycewheels]

We have them in stock and ready to order! - Jack

The 48 Volt kit is 10 Amp Hours, 20 mile range, good amount of power. We kept the battery below 20A/H as many of our conversions here at the shop involve folding bikes and we wanted to prioritize lightweight and portability - jack

[nycewheels]

All good questions. We don't have a kit that will work for that bike and we don't install anything that wasn't purchased in our shop. That's because we wouldn't have spare parts, service manuals, or any ability to support the installation of a product we don't carry. I hope you understand. As to the compatibility: you'd have to contact a retailer for 16" wheel kits to determine that. Sorry we can't be of more help! -Peter

The entry level BionX kit is pretty slick at about half the price.

@xxgg I hesitate to label anything as "the best" especially when we carry so many different brands. However, I think BionX would be "the best" for people who want smooth integrated assistance and the feeling of riding a bike. The BionX is not the ultimate-go-fast-motor-bike kit, but it does help you travel farther and faster than you ever thought you could. -Peter

@SiriuslyPtah
you are right, we are slackers...No Seriously, this is a special edition BionX kit that was limited at 200 units world-wide. They have sold out very quickly. We will do a Video on the 2012 48Volt kits. (estimated ship date is February 15th) -BC

[nycewheels]

@2297ct Yes, this kit is 6 bolt disc compatible. -Peter

[nycewheels]

Very nice, how much does it weigh with the battery? - jack

[nycewheels]

@SiriuslyPtah Well, good question! I guess I'll ask the next customer who has it installed if it is alright with them to make a movie with their bike. Definitely a movie we need to produce. -Peter

Wow . 48 v . I hope an un-limit code gets this kit going over 22mph. One cool thing about the new kits is they bring down the price of the NOS pl-350 kits . I got a 'new' one for like 1/2 price. But I'd love to try 48v power

[nycewheels]

Good catch, do you have a BionX Special edition kit on your bike at home? best - jack

I have a BionX on a Trek Y-22 since 2007 and it's still going. I'm surprised the battery has lasted this long and maybe it has to do with the smart charger. Yes it's more than most kits but it's much lighter, mostly due to the Li battery. The quality is very good. You can't compare this to anything cheap.

[nycewheels]

@NWforager Strange to hear that you got a PL350 kit for half price, their price actually went up by around $100 for 2011. Seems like there might be something fishy about that kit, some reason to "give it away." There really isn't really more powerful, just lighter weight and a bit more efficient using fewer cells to produce the same power. There are no more unlimit codes for BionX kits these days incidentally. -Peter

@laxwork This Special Edition BionX kit was a first run to offer early adapters something special. BionX now offers the 48V BionX kit as a standard item. Visit the link in the description for more info or to order. -Peter

Ahh I see, well your doing a very good job. I built my own I get a range of around 50 miles using a 48 volt 20 AH battery no peddling required.

[nycewheels]

Although the warranty will not technically be void, if you ship the BionX internationally we will have major difficulty servicing your bike given the overseas shipping restrictions on lithium ion batteries. Water damage is not covered by the manufacturers warranty. We do sell replacement lithium ion batteries, if you have a contact here in the states that we can ship to. I can't list prices here, but you can get more information on our website: nycewheels (dot) com Best-Jack

When it comes to a battery this powerful, sometimes it is the size that counts- jack
