The system includes a control console, a 36 volt Lithium-Ion battery and a 500 watt hub motor with a variable thumb throttle. The control console includes a multifunctional odometer, four assistance levels, four generative settings as well as a battery charge indicator. Bionx is designed to enhance the riding experience and is ideal for riders that want to ride longer and keep up with the pack or those that want help up hills and against the wind. Assistance is provided only when pedaling and motors are equipped with a generative brake on the rear wheel, providing more regenerative stopping power.

Sales of the PL500 are currently restricted to in-store purchases and shipping to California addresses only. Hopefully other states will soon follow California's lead and allow the registration of high speed (under 30 mph) electric bicycles.
