Meet the BionX powered Surly Moonlander.

The Mars Rover meets Surly attitude in this space age electric bike. We took it through the streets of Manhattan and the mud and cliffs of Central Park to see how well the Surly Moonlander performed. The results blew us away.

Dahon Electric Formula S18 Review

The dynamic Dahon Electric Formula S18 is both sleek and lightweight, but also powerful and speedy when necessary. Thanks to the BionX powered motor, this bike can reach a max speed of 20 mph, ranging between 30 to 45 miles on a full charge (depending on rider weight and terrain).

How does an amateur rider react to his first experience on a folding bike with attached motor? Find out in the latest NYCeWheels blog post!

Happy Surly Moonlander Customer!

The Surly Moonlander BionX bike is an exciting intersection of two of our most exciting products - A fat bike with monster 4.6 inch tires and the BionX, a high end and powerful electric conversion kit.

This week's blog is courtesy of a recent customer who emailed us to tell us how much  he's enjoyed his new moonlander electric bike!

Commuting on the Montague Crosstown w/BionX Motor

The BionX Conversion kit can convert almost any bike into an electric hybrid, including a wide range of folding bikes. Your bike looks like a regular bike, it feels like a regular bike, but when you want it to it can provide you with the strength of three riders and fold small enough to fit in the trunk of a car.

Pretty darn cool. Check out this week's BionX blog, "Commuting on the Montague Crosstown BionX Bike" and learn all about one of the best and most affordable folding electric bikes on the market.

Thank You BionX

Over the years the BionX conversion kit has been one of our most popular and innovative products. Not only has the BionX kit changed thousands of peoples lives, converting old bicycles into powerful electric machines, but it has also allowed us to get creative here at the shop and develop electric folding hybrids like the BionX Tern Link D8. 

Read this week's electric bike blog and give a special thank you to one of our most valued manufacturers. 

Many exciting things afoot!

A lot of exciting things have happened in the last couple weeks! We got a shipment of the extremely fetching Barcelona-inspired S6L special edition Bromptons. These limited run bikes are the result of a collaboration between Brompton and artist/designer David Torrents. With their sporty handlebars and full 6-gear range, they are some beautifully painted speed demons--and with a matching bag to boot! I wrote a short dispatch discussing some of the finer points of these rare bikes.

Our excitement at receiving big batches of new bikes doubled a few days later with a dozen hulking boxes emblazoned with plus and minus signs filled the shop: the brand-new, much anticipated 2013 Stromer ST1 electric bikes. These state-of-the-art juggernauts sport a 500-watt motor, acheive speeds of up to 30 mph, and can now be customized with either a lightweight carbon or Suntour suspension fork. With red, black, or white paint options, these are sure to make you the talk of the town.


Our appetites for electric bikes duly whetted, NYCeWheels owner Bert took a quick trip up to Toronto to visit the BionX electric motor factory. These high-quality conversion kits are our shop's go-to choice for giving conventional bikes an electric boost. Bert was highly entertained during his tour of the BionX facilities, and was good enough to share some of the many amazing projects he was introduced to there, such as a recumbant bicycle capable of speeds of up to 50 mph.

Finally, after a busy week as customer foot traffic surges with the beautiful Spring weather, I felt compelled to author a shout-out to our lovely, loyal customers. Whether you're buying an ingeniously designed Brompton or a simple kick scooter, at the end of the day, we are just happy that you are as enthusiastic about these vehicles as we are!

New Possibilities with Electric Conversion

Brompton electric bike versus BionX bike motor

The BionX electric bike kit is a fantastic system, but so is the Electric Brompton bike. Which is best for you? That's what our BionX to eBrompton comparison is all about!

On the one hand you have the portability of a Brompton electric bike and on the other you have the sophistication of a BionX bike motor kit. With either you get electric power but the experience is far different. Check out our BionX bike kit comparison to discover how!
