    Has anyone done a bike trailer conversion?

    Arrrrggghhh! For God's sake! I've been online FOREVER trying to find this out and nada. Ok, here's what I would like to do. I'd like to buy a used, 2 child bike trailer. I need to get the kind that attaches to my seat post since I have the BionX conversion kit (hub motor). I would like to use...

    BionX 350 watt, Lithium Ion Review

    I really like it! I tried both the 250 and 350 LiIon and there was about a 30% jump in power. I had to tweak the settings a little to see how everything felt. After my husband attached it to my hybrid, I brought it back to the guy I bought it from to make sure it was all...

    Please help paraglider get back to truck.

    It's not a kit but the Optibike went up 14,000 ft Pikes Peak here in Colorado. http://www.optibike.com Of course you'd need tons of extra money for that one! :shock: Julia

    Please help paraglider get back to truck.

    My husband Brad is a paraglider here in Colorado. I read him your message and he wants to know how the paragliding is in Maui! I bet it's beautiful! I'm waiting for him to steal my BionX in order to do the same thing you're talking about! :-)

    Panniers on a back rack and big feet :-)

    Haha, very funny ;-) They stayed a 'normal' size 9 for years when I was wearing heels but once I was in a position to stop, believe me I did! Sneakers from that point on but then...omg...the horror began...my feet grew! ACK! I bought the panniers/seat post rack combo for the Trek. My seat is...

    Playing with the BionX PL350 controller?

    I wanted the guy who sold me the kit to take a look at it after Brad got it all hooked up. There was a noise we thought might be normal but we weren't sure. He did some code changes on the controller and now all the modes feel 'surge-y' compared to my first ride before I had him play with it...

    Panniers on a back rack and big feet :-)

    Does anyone have problems with the backs of their feet hitting their panniers on a frame mounted rear rack? On the seat post mounted rack I have now I have to raise it up towards the seat so my feet don't hit the panniers. I'm 5'7" and I have size 10 feet--yes, they're big but it's not like I...

    BionX 350 watt, Lithium Ion--Fun!

    Here we are in Colorado, 300+ sunny days a year. I get my bike and we have 45 degree weather with big ugly black clouds, some rain and wind. I will post pics of my first ride (when I go further than down the ally and back!) Tomorrow's weather, more of the same. Tuesday is looking more hopeful...

    How much weight will this rear rack hold?

    Tyler, Thanks for the info--that's just scary! And as much as Whole Foods groceries cost now days--well, it would cost almost as much to lose a couple of bags! :wink: The guy I bought my conversion kit from sells this: http://www.oldmanmountain.com/rear_rack_page.htm#sherpa What do you...

    How much weight will this rear rack hold?

    Hi again, I have this rack that attaches to my seat post. http://www.rei.com/product/678957 I have panniers on the sides that are canvas/nylon? and fold flat like a paper bag when not in use. I like the system but someone just told me that they don't hold much weight (the rack that is)--only...

    BionX 350 watt, Lithium Ion--Fun!

    Hi Patrick! So glad to find someone so close to me! I tried out the BionX at a place just south of DIA airport called Bird RV. The owner's name is Dale and he was really nice, helpful, answered all of our questions, let us try out multiple bikes with the different versions of the battery so we...

    BionX 350 watt, Lithium Ion--Fun!

    I test rode/drove the BionX 350 watt, LiIon--and I know this isn't the correct term for all you techies but: WHEEEEEEEEE!!!! :D I also tried out the 250 watt, LiIon and it was good too. Hubby and I went back and forth about it all the way home (basically trying to talk ourselves out of the...

    ElecTrec vs. 250w LiIon BionX ?? Help me!

    I'm 165 lbs, the bike I would put the BionX on has 26" wheels. I need to either buy a kit or buy a ready-made bike though. I won't be creating my own. (And I won't let my husband do it for me--I'd like to start riding it asap) I just read out loud what I wrote and he laughed and said, "OH...

    ElecTrec vs. 250w LiIon BionX ?? Help me!

    I don't really need anything more than 20 mph. I've seen some that say they go 30+, currently that would probably freak me out. Who knows, maybe later... Hills--we are on the Plains just next to the Rocky Mtns. We're a little hilly, nothing like the foothills around Boulder, CO if you're...

    ElecTrec vs. 250w LiIon BionX ?? Help me!

    Hi! I'm brand new to the ebike idea and new to this forum. I'd like to get an ebike to run errands around town, get some exercise at the same time, and of course there's the fun factor! My Honda Element gets about 20 mpg, which isn't hideous but not great either and gas, as we all know, is...
