I'm actually considering a D500 kit, but I have been informed by BionX that it is only warranted if it's installed by one of their dealers.

That's a beautiful bike! If I can't convert my Globe Sport into an e bike to my satisfaction, Easy Motion is my top choice.

I started wearing a helmet in the 70's, too. I use a superflash on the back of my bike, a wheel magnet powered flash at the back axle and a flash on the back of my helmet. See pic:

Excuse me for not excluding Holland! :) Apparently, the stat is that a typical Dutch cyclist can expect a "head/brain injury" once every 90 lifetimes. :)

I wear a seat belt in a car. I wear a helmet when I ride my bike. I've heard people say that helmets make you look stupid. For me, people that don't wear helmets, look stupid, like people smoking cigarettes.

I'm viewing in 'default' style, because I like the contrast.

I'm becoming more and more interested in the BionX systems. I just read that you supplement with lead acid batteries and get 4 times the distance. Are there any pics of your bike on the forum? Thanks.

Another beautiful bike. It's invisible if you're not logged in. :) I considered Rad's, but they want $400 to ship it to Canada.

You've dressed it beautifully. I wouldn't have guessed 'camera'. :) I just watched Court's review. It's quite a bike. It's not on the Specialized site.

Talk about integrated batteries! That's what I call a beautiful bike. What is it and what is this?

I've been on this site quite a bit for the last little while, too. After reading about all the different e bikes and getting advice from a slew of e-bikers, I've more or less decided to go with my original plan and convert my 2007 Globe Sport into an e bike. Do you love your current bike, is the...

It's a beautiful utilitarian bike.

Did you get the 350 W/36 V or the 500 W/48 V?

With tax, that's the cost of the latest BionX, except you got a whole bike instead of just a wheel. :) It's a really nice bike, too.

Maybe, I don't need as much power as I think. I live on a pretty steep hill and after I get to the bottom, I have to go up a not quite as steep half mile hill. Two miles later there's a wicked one that I rarely see anyone except myself, drive up (in 26/32). :)

Very nice. I'll check out Electric Bike Outfitters. I was just reading a thread and watching a video on a Dillenger front wheel kit that was really affordable and had everything on my wish list for a conversion kit, except it was only a 350 motor and a front wheel conversion. I originally wanted...

WilliamT, Don't you need to strengthen the front fork with some torque arms?

More and more, I think my best bet, since I truly love my Globe Sport touring bike, is to install a back wheel hub motor kit that allows me to keep all my gears, has throttle on demand, assistance override, and an attachment that cuts the engine when I brake. So, with the battery in the rear...

I just use a Garmin GPS watch.
