Brendan installed a BionX electric motor kit on his Scorpion Recumbent Trike. He now rides with his flag flying high on his new electric bike.
Hello Nycewheels.
In April 2009, I bought this Scorpion Recumbent Trike. It came with a huge range of gears: 81! This consisted of a conventional 27-speed set-up, but it also had a Sram Dual drive 3 speed hub system, hence a potential 81 gears. This gave many gears-but steep hills were still a problem.
In the autumn of 2009, I imported from your store, one of your Bionx PL350 systems, fitted into a 20" wheel.
On fitting, I did have to forgo the Sram Drive in the old wheel. The result is a more standard 27-speed system. Gear changes on the flat are much less of a requirement now. Headwinds and hills are someone else's problem!
Quiet, smooth & rapid assistance. BionX is an amazing electric motor kit.
Going further afield now. Where will it take me tomorrow?
Many Thanks

Hi Bert,
Some more photos for you.
Today was the 3rd time I have been out on her-straight into a strong head wind, on our "Romney Marsh"...not a problem though!
More impressed with the BionX kit, each time I use it.
Best wishes,
Brendan Marks
