BionX logo

BionX was a Canadian maker of electric motors for bicycles. Its first motors in the early 2000s, while still named EPS (Electric Propulsion Systems) [1], were kits for retrofitting [2].

On February 27, 2018 BionX Canada went into receivership, all 80 employees were let go and the company was shut down temporarily to find a buyer.^[1] Grant Thornton Limited was appointed as Receiver.^[2]

In June 2018, parts of the business were sold off to three other businesses,^[3] and the rest of the company assets were liquidated via online auction that ended August 15, 2018.^[4]

By the end of October 2018 the responsible receiver of the insolvent BionX Canada Inc. sold the company’s intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, software and domains as well as remaining inventory with court approval to Amego Electric Vehicles and its nominee Leisger Cycle Inc.^[5]

History[edit]

In 1998, entrepreneur Jean-Yves Dubé formed Energy and Propulsion Systems (EPS), a company in Quebec, Canada.^[6] In the year 2000, the name was changed to 'BionX'.

In 2008, it was acquired by Magna^[7] and by then its motors had become standard parts in many ebikes. Bike makers in Europe and North America including Trek, Matra,^[8]Kalkhoff, used BionX motors.

In 2011, Bionix introduced SeaScape, an electrically-assisted paddle-boat product line.

BionX was headquartered in Aurora, Ontario where motors are produced and assembled [3] before being sold locally or being shipped to over 15 countries. Research and development was based in Sherbrooke, Quebec. The European sales and service center was located near Munich, Germany.

BionX motors are typically mounted into an oversize rear wheel hub, and they are characterized by low noise and the capability to charge the battery during braking or downhill riding[4].

Motors[edit]

The BionX electric bicycle wheel hub motors have certain innovative characteristics, often not found on similar hub motor products, including having the motor controller embedded within the hub itself and integrated regenerative braking abilities that allow the batteries to be partially recharged when riding downhill.

The D series of motors was the most recent and strongest BionX technology with a torque of 25/50 Nm. The motor cylinder is much larger but thinner than in previous versions and weighs 4.0 kg (8.8 lb). Before that was the S series which with 3.5 kg (7.7 lb) was lighter than the P series at the same strength. The P series motors were the first produced by Bionx. They have a torque of 9/40 Nm at a weight of 4.7 kg (10.4 lb).^[9]

*Since the maximum legal power specifications in Watts are different for the same motor in North America and Europe, the name varies. For example, the P-350 is usually sold as the P-250 in Europe.

Though several competing wheel hub based motors are produced, including Panasonic (e.g. KTM's eRace), Alber's Xion (lately in Kalkhoff bikes),^[10] Heinzmann,^[11] and GoSwiss.^[12] their main competitor was the Bosch eBike.^[13]

BionX entered bankruptcy in January 2018. I’m afraid they may not be back.

Is getting up those hills getting you down? Do you find the ride to work too long and time consuming? Don’t want to arrive sweaty at work? Family members can’t keep up on group rides? Maybe the BionX electric bicycle motor assist is the answer for you. Spelled BionX and pronounced bionix (bionics). The BionX converts your bike into a lightweight rechargeable electric bike.

BionX Electric Bike Motor Conversion Kit

Made in Ontario, Canada the BionX electric bike motor conversion kits are high tech, easy to control and lightweight. We stock their top of the line PL 350 system. It features Lithium Ion batteries for light weight and long life and a 350 watt motor to add a significant boost and flatten those hills! It even has regenerative braking (like a hybrid electric car) to charge your battery while saving your brakes on down hills! We keep a recumbent in the shop ready to ride set up with the BionX electric bicycle motor. Come give it a try and test ride it!

To test the BionX system I used a Sun Sport CX recumbent bike outfitted with a BionX P-250. I used the motor like this; on hill climbs I set it on full assist. On larger down hills I pedaled lightly and whenever the bike exceeded 20 mph I used the regenerative brakes to recharge the battery.

My BionX electric bike battery range test ride:

I rode from our shop to Wegman’s in Hornell, a 20 mile round trip and returned a movie rental. I took the hilly route both ways, over Pennsylvania Hill Road. This adding a few climbs on the way out and a huge climb and a few smaller ones on the way back. Total climb on this ride was nearly 1000 vertical feet. I did not measure this accurately.

I set the BionX on full boost and pedaled at my normal, pretty vigorous rate. It was March so I was not in the shape I’d be in midsummer. When the bike went over ~20 MPH I set the BionX to slow the bike and recharge the batteries. This kept my speed under ~25 mph on all but the one big descent – Pennsylvania Hill. On the way down Pennsylvania Hill even recharging the batteries it went up to nearly 30 MPH. I didn’t use the brakes but could have easily stopped if I’d wanted to.

Without the BionX the bike would have gone nearly 50 mph on this decent. This very hilly 20 mile ride took me 1 hour, 15 minutes, a 16 mph average speed. Without the BionX this course would have taken me at least a half an hour longer and been more tiring. Climbing Pennsylvania Hill without the BionX would have been a strain on the heavy Sun EZ-Sport. Even on a racing recumbent it would have been hard work on this hilly course. When I got home the battery was nearly used up but I could still feel the boost of the motor as I pulled in the driveway.

I went 20 miles on a charge, some riders may go farther per charge, some may get fewer miles per charge. It depends on what level boost you use and how hilly your rides are. BionX claims a range of 20 kilometers (15 miles) which is probably closer to what most riders will get. It is better to plan on the 15 mile range between charges, especially for larger riders and those who may be a bit out of shape.

The 250 watt motor flattened the hills even on the Sun, which is not a light bike or known as a great climber. The next day, after a recharge, I tried the P-250 on the Hartsville Hill climb (1.5 miles, 425 vertical feet) and was surprised how easy that killer hill was.

My observations:

If you are more sparing in its use or riding on less hilly roads the BionX will have a greater range on one charge.
The BionX assists you up to about 20 mph, over 20 mph you are on your own.
It is very noticeable on hill climbs, not so noticeable on flat roads.
It will be more noticeable for smaller lighter riders, less noticeable for larger heavier riders. Larger riders may want to consider the 350 watt version. (This test was the standard 250 watt system.)
The controls are really easy to get used to and give good information: battery condition, current speed, current boost or recharge rate and boost or recharge setting selected. In 2009 BionX improved their systems with more robust electronics and quieter motors.
Recharging the battery on down hills helps control your speed and extend my range. On flat roads this is not significant.
With a BionX your bike is still light enough (~55 lb total) you can still finish a ride even with the battery flat without killing yourself.

Note: We do not recommend changing any settings except for the ones found in your BionX owners manual.
