I saw a post in here mentioning that so I thought I'd start a new thread just on this.
I didn't realize Bionx had a high speed version of their motor! It's a 500W motor designed for higher speeds.
I have a PL250. While it's been really nice to have, I found that i need to go about 25+ mph to safely get down some stretches of streets (without a car having to pass me). My cruising speed on flats at level 3 is about 22 mph. I can go 27 if I really push it, but my bad back usually screams at me not to do that. With the PL500HS, looks like 27 can be my new cruising speed. :)
Unfortunately, they only allow this to be sold in CA and it also requires registration. I'll have to find someone in CA to smuggle this in for me. :lol:
Here's more info about it from Greenspeed's site.
