In order to have a better understanding of EbikeBC conversion kits features and specifications compared with other pioneer brands such as Bionx, Bocsh or Stromer electric bikes, we have selected certain product models of each and collected brochure information in bellow table chart. We have tried to standardize the test condition for all 4 brands as much as possible; however we are not responsible for collected information other than EbikeBC electric bike conversion kits performance test results.
