BionX

Brand new to the forum...We just received a PL350 kit to install on an ICE Trice-T trike. We wanted DC output to power lights. In 2010, BionX only offers the DC output on rear rack models, but since it's a rear suspension trike, the BionX rack wouldn't fit. Ordered from NYCEWheels, and they send us a 2009 PL350 kit with the DC output, only the label says 6V DC, rather than 12. Before I contact NYCEWheels...is there a way to convert the 6V to 12V? Is it hard-wired to the battery pack, or is it a software control?

Hello,

I wonder if there is a difference between the 250 HT ,350 and 500 motors.
I mean, is it only the software who is making the difference?
Can we turn a 500 W motor into a 350 motor if it would be possible to change the software?
I see on the Bionx website there is no difference in weight (4,7 kg)

Thanks,

Hello everyone

I'm new here. A couple of weeks ago I purchased the new Trek FX+ here in Atlanta, GA.

Love it so far.

I'm wondering, has anyone considered using solar power to recharge the battery while riding?
I have a friend who is training to be a solar installer, and I haven't run it by him yet, but figured I'd ask this community first.

I have enjoyed all of the resources and discussion here.

thanks,
Kerry

Am new to this forum; just got a Montague Swiss Bike LX with the Bionx 350. I notice that when standing still, if I use the throttle or when pushing the peddle from standing still the motor will activate. Is there a menu setting that will create the lag until the bike is in motion. I am aware of contoller setting 0007 and 1234 (both set on 2). Any other settings I should be aware of?

I posted this on bikeforums.net but figured I should also put it here. And I guess the Bionx forum is the appropriate location?

On the new BionX controller code 0008 extra assistance range

A goes from 1 to 4

B goes from 10 to 25

Does any one know why there are 2 different settings A and B. What does the B setting do?

I was also wondering if any one has played with the 0007 Assist Sensitivity range

goes from .1 to 4

Is there some kind of ideal setting? I like to pedal with a cadence of 75 to 90. I find when I pedal with a high cadence I get very little assist.

The route has been announced. July 25-31. Starting in Sioux City and going to Dubuque Iowa. About 450 miles in seven day. I bought a second battery with my 350 wheel kit, so two batteries will probably get me through. Let me know if you are going. There will be about 10000 bikes and one big party. Ik'm getting my Bianchi Volpe ready.

I know the shape is different but is the Trek battery the same capacity as the PL350? According to a Trek video, the expected range is 15 - 45 km. Elsewhere, in the Q&A section, it says 20 - 70. The Bionx is supposed to be 39.6V and 10ah. I can't find anything specific about the Trek.

I will be getting my LP350-700C kit soon. I will put it on my Bianchi Volpe which has Shimano RSX SLI-8 shifter with drop handlebars. That is, the shifter and brake are one unit with sideways motion for shifting and squeeze for brakeing. I will want to disconnect the back caliper brake and use the regenerative braking for the back and calipers for the front. In the youtube assembly demonstration it showed attaching the regenerative braking assemble to a straight handle bar, separate break leaver, type of break.

OK yous guys. I've been watching this thread for a while. I am 80 years old (google Nelson McAvoy) and I need some way to make me 60 years old again so I can keep up with the pack. I have a 1995 Bianchi Volpe. Rode it all over the world. It is quick response steel with braze-ons all over for touring. It was really made for cyclcross. Spring is coming in these Appalachian mountains, when we start up a hill, you know what will happen? They say, "Good bye Grandpa". I can handle it when they choose up to play ball and they choose me last. But it is hard to handle, "Good bye Grandpa".
