Just thought I would make a post about my most recent experience with ebikes. I originally purchased a Schwinn cheapy from Canadian Tire and while I enjoyed it quite a bit, my thumb got sore from the throttle so I took it back. However, I was very impressed with the technology and decided to investigate the Bionx system and install it on a comfortable bike of my choosing.

Well, I managed to get to a dealer today who had a Bionx system installed on a bike. I must have taken it for 10 minutes up and down the parking lot and going fast and slow and I'll be quite honest that I WAS NOT impressed! I can honestly say that I had no clue it was working when it was working??? I could feel it charging when I pressed the rear brake... but when I was giving it at 200% on theLCD display... I could turn it off and I'm not sure I'd feel a difference?

The fellow I was talking to was surprised and so he took it out and said "Yep, I can feel it!", I took it out again and Nada!?! Not sure what gives, but I will not be investing $1000k+ on a system that I can't tell what it's doing.

I was using the 250 watt NiMH version if it matters???

Unfortunately, I think that the best option for me is to get my M license and seriously consider 49cc scooters...
