I want to thank all of you for your help in determining the right Bionx electric kit and accessories I needed for my recumbent (Longbikes Slipstream). I did some research prior to selecting the Bionx electric system and after the installation, set up, and initial rides I am very glad I went with your store and the Bionx system. The system was fairly easy to install with the installation of the rear wheel being the most critical and hardest part. If someone does not feel comfortable with the installation of the rear wheel once they read the instructions I would recommend they bring it to you or their local bike shop and have them install it. The routing of the wires and control set up was a breeze. On my initial power up and test ride I was very surprised at the power of the system. I live in middle Tennessee and there are many rolling hills. Not major climbs but hilly enough that with my weight on a recumbent I am usually in first gear crawling up hills. I no longer have to put it into first to make it up over a hill, now even on my longest climb I am in the middle ring on my front hub and in 6th or 7th speed of the 9 speed sprocket.
I use the bike to commute back and forth to work and even when I was in shape, the most I could make was 3 days in a row before my legs were to hammered to make it another day. With the Bionx system I foresee me riding to work at least 4 days/week and still being able to make it out for my long rides on the weekend. I have not gone totally green, I won?t ride in rain, ice, or snow and the roads I ride on are not really safe on Fridays, but the rest of the time I am planning on riding.
Again THANK YOU for all your help
Gary
