Video of my work commute on my BionX equiped ebike

Hello fellow BionXers,

I invite you to view my Friday Aug. 14th morning work commute via my Helmet Camera. Shirt and shoes required. My bike has a PL-350 system with the speed limiter disabled.

It will require 12 mins of your valuable time.

Enjoy

Re: Video of my work commute on my BionX equiped ebike

Two quick questions:
1) What firmware version do you have of the BionX (you seem to have a black console which is supplied with recent version I believe)

2) How did you unlock speed limitation? (3774 code? As I read it in other post it does not work with 3.8 firmware...)

Thanks

Claude

Hello Claude,

When I turn on my unit it says 2.7. I used the info provided by the kind and helpful davew on this forum. Here is the link to the instructions.

http://visforvoltage.org/forum-topic/136-removing-bionx-20mph-speed-limit

Removing it provided about 3 extra kilometers per hour of assistance. Not much really. What it does solve completely is the pulsing and surging people complain about when you hit the preset speed limit. The assistance just trails off smoothly to nothing.

While technically making your bike illegal in many places. I wouldn't think 3 extra kph will bring you to the attention of the authorities.

Looks like a very scenic commute to work, I must say.
How much did the helmet cam run you?

Yeah,

I've been getting lots of comments about the lack of traffic....lol
I guess I take it for granted. It is a pretty sweet commute. Just not in Dec, Jan, Feb....lol.

The helmet camera was $250. It's a very basic camera but purpose built and easy to use. I'm excited for the future of helmet cameras. Hopefully Gopro will have an HD one out soon in the same size.

I'm having lots of fun with this one,

Here is a new vid I took yesterday. A quick blast to my folks place on my ebike. It's slightly more than 3mins long.
