I have a 350W Bionx system that was working fine, but had a very tired battery. I bought a used battery from a neighbor who was using it with the 500W motor. He mentioned that when he was using the battery with a previous 350W motor, he was getting the Error 60 on his display, but since...

A shop by my house has new Bionx batteries, which I need because my battery now only lasts about 6 miles. I have a few questions... Presumably they were built a year or two ago. Is there any concern with these batteries sitting on a shelf? I have heard they eventually go to sleep to preserve...

Yes, I ended up buying the bike for the same price as the bike was worth without any motor system. Buyer was very upfront that battery needed to rebuilt, and I have gotten a bunch of good riding in already with the knowledge that I'm playing with the house's money. If I have to rebuild or put a...

I have a 500W Bionx motor I would love to disassemble and see if I can repair. I'm not sure the best way to open it up. Is there a repair/service manual available? I'm happy to just dig in, but would prefer as much information as possible ahead of time. Thanks!

Thanks! How would you compare the two motors? Functionally, is 500W a substantial upgrade from 350W?

Right. What about using a 500W Bionx motor with a Bionx system that currently has a 350W motor. No tinkering, straight swap using Bionx parts. Thanks!

Right, I have heard they are no longer operating. My question is regarding used/aftermarket parts. While investing in the system may be a risk, it seems that the state of the company has depressed prices and I am willing to tinker if the risks/costs are low. I'm just trying to understand what...

I just got a new-to-me bike with 350W Bionx system. I have seen some used 500W motors for sale. Assuming everything is functional, can I just swap the 500W motor in and ride away? Or do I need the controller/battery/etc to match the new motor? Secondly, can anyone recommend the best resources...

Well, yeah I know it’s a gamble. Maybe a better question is, should I treat the working bionic system to be worthless? Basically assume it’ll need to be replaced wholesale in short order? Or is it possible/likely it will soldier on for a year or three before needing to reassess? I’m just...

I'm looking at a used bike that has a Bionx system. It is well loved, but appears to be operating ok right now. How dumb is it to invest in this setup right now? If I need a battery, controller, or motor in the future, would I be able to obtain an operable one someplace, either new or used?

Does anyone have any good info or photos of the new Load 75? I see a couple tweets about it, but would love more information.

Thanks for your thoughts Chris, I appreciate them, as well as everything you add to the ebike community.

I am considering a Packster 80, and have two questions regarding R&M's pricing. According to this article, a Packster 80 Touring CX was $5,149 in 2017, and now is $6,439 in 2018. Why the huge increase? Did they substantially change the bike to justify a 25% price increase? Secondly, that same...
