BionX® launches advanced dealer interface - BBI2

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 23:32:00 -0400

AURORA, ON, Canada – Canadian electric propulsion system manufacturer BionX International Corporation has released BBI2, a new version of their BionX dealer interface. BionX will launch the BBI2 software, an updated version of the BBI (BionX Bicycle Interface) on April 30^th, 2013. Over 2 years in development, the BBI2 has advanced features that mirror computer interface software found in the automotive industry. The BBI platform has evolved from being a programming, troubleshooting, and diagnostics tool to an effective sales and communication tool as well. The foremost of the new features is the new Remote Support function, which allows service technicians to access any system connected to BBI2 anywhere in the world. This level of service is unique to independent bicycle dealers who sell and service bicycles that are powered by BionX™. Remote Support will allow for improved diagnosis of system parts, allow direct contact with dealers, and even reprogramming of parts at a distance. This results in faster and more efficient service for the dealer. The BBI2 also offers system logfile auto uploads for constant product improvement, as well as access to complete technical documentation on the product. There is a new detailed service report available for all customers who purchase and have their BionX systems updated at dealerships carrying BionX systems and products powered by BionX. “We designed the new BBI platform to be more than an evolution of the current software. It is the first step towards an all-encompassing tool for our customers. Implementing features like the Remote Support takes us one step ahead. Being set up as an HTML based online application, the BBI2 will serve as the info hub around all BionX systems. Its intuitive user interface will ease communication between all levels of the service and supply chain. And in case of tricky questions, Remote Support is accessible by the click of a button” – says Werner Schiller, Sales and Marketing Director of BionX International Corporation. This dealer only software will be in use by the worldwide BionX dealer network within the coming months. Dealers will be prompted in the original BBI window when BBI2 is released for their location.

BionX announces partnership with cargo bike maker Yuba.

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:05:00 -0500

BionX International Corporation is proud to announce a partnership with Yuba Bicycles, maker of fun and useful cargo bikes.

Based in Sausalito, California, Yuba Bicycles (“Yuba”) was founded in 2006 by Benjamin Sarrazin, a lifelong bicyclist who saw the need for a new type of bike while traveling around the world as a professional kayaker in the 1990s. In South America, Africa and other parts of the developing world, Sarrazin saw people carrying goods to market on rickety bikes not built to handle the weight of big payloads. He returned to the States to help start a utility bike company. Said Sarrazin, “We decided to work with BionX because they have developed one of the most complete electric systems on the market. In addition, Yuba Bicycles wants to work and partner with electric suppliers based in North America. For our customers it means better products, higher quality, better customer service and products better suited to North American or western bike riders.” The Yuba cargo bike powered by BionX will be called the ‘elBoda Boda’ and will feature a 350 HT BionX system, with a top speed of 32 km/h (20 mph), and a range of up to 60 km (37 mi) on a single charge. The BionX e-bike system is an ideal addition to the Yuba range of cargo bicycles, giving you the extra power you need to haul that heavy load with ease and style!
