Already, leading international bicycle brands have recognized the benefits of BionX Intelligent Propulsion Systems and are using them to create the best, most intuitive electrically-assisted bicycles in the world.
Now, they are being joined by OPEL, one of Europe’s great auto makers, who has partnered with BionX and KTM to produce a special limited edition bicycle as part of their 111th Anniversary launch of their new flagship ASTRA model.
The new ASTRA debuted at the Vienna Auto Show in January with an integrated bike carrier which pulls out from the rear bumper and retracts when not in use. During the show it was mounted with the limited edition BionX-equipped custom KTM OPEL ecoBike Edition bicycles. Only 111 of these bicycles will be made available for sale through OPEL’s European dealer base. The 111 bicycle package will include the custom bike along with a coordinated helmet, jersey and gloves. “We’re proud to have been chosen for this very innovative project,” said Vincent Lamoureux, Director of Global Sales & Marketing for BionX. “OPEL is a legendary brand that is deeply committed to technological progress and development and their partnership is a great affirmation of the efforts that we have made in becoming the technological leader in the e-bike market.”
When OPEL began auto manufacture in 1899, it was already a leading bicycle brand in Germany. The 111 bicycle project marries leading-edge OPEL auto and BionX bicycle technologies to perfectly express OPEL’s heritage and future.
BionX Intelligent Propulsion Systems provide bike riders with an innovative, intuitive system which gives them a complete range of power options to augment their own efforts with 25 to 300 percent extra power. The BionX unit is modular and can be quickly installed on almost any standard bicycle with two battery options—rear rack or downtube.
