We've been building a lot of trikes lately with the BionX electric system. The BionX PL-350 does more than just turn your trike into a go cart. The BionX system features four levels of assist and regen modes.
The heart of the BionX system is the battery. This 36-volt Lithium Polymer battery also houses the computer controller than manages the speed.
The BionX control controls the assist levels and also functions as the speedometer for the trike.
The control also has the throttle which overrides the assist and lets you ride without pedaling.
The BionX motor is built into the rear wheel. The motor senses the input force for the assist mode.
Share your comments below: How much did the electric assist add to the weight of the trike? Posted by Murph 09/15/2009 04:22:26 AM It adds about 25lbs with the motor and battery. Like to know the cost of the Bionx 350 on any Catrike Posted by Will from Florida 09/19/2009 01:06:35 AM The BionX adds $1800 to the Catrike. Do you give up any gears as a result of the width of the hub? Posted by Chris 09/21/2009 04:49:13 AM Nope. We have 9-sp cassettes made for the BionX. Love the bionex can you or have you ever built a quad four wheel dive using duel bionex drive systems?
