Tonaro Bighit Electric Bicycle, Patented Crank Drive System Product Description
Description: The TONARO crank drive technology is a patented design and is not offered anywhere else. This technology is your best choice for style and function. The entire drive system is housed within the pedal cranking system. This design allows more climbing power with lower battery usage.
The crank mount motor enables the bikes gears to be used with the motor. This allows you to down shift for hills and to shift up to higher gears as you gain speed. The pedals freewheel like an ordinary bike. You can pedal when you want or even rotate the pedals backwards even while using the throttle. There are no wires attached to the front or rear wheels as there are with a hub drive, this also allows for easy changing and removal of both the front and rear quick-release wheels.
Unlike hub motors there is no resistance or drag from the motor when the power is switched off, , so it can be ridden as comfortably as a traditional bicycle when assistance is not required. This can greatly increase the range. There is no loss of traction in wet or slippery conditions or on steeper inclines as there is with front hub drives, and it has an even distribution of weight and is better balanced than rear hub drives, it is virtually silent, and the entire drive system is maintenance free.
With the Tonaro system you select how much or how little assistance you require when climbing an incline or riding into a headwind, you can even take a break from pedalling and use the twist grip throttle alone if you choose. You are in complete control. If you choose to speed along the flat in top gear with almost no effort, you can do so, if you want a vigorous workout and choose to ride up hills with little or no assistance, you can, it's entirely up to you.
The Bighit is built with full suspension and disk brakes. Quality components make the Bighit easy to ride.
Lithium batteries combined with the low power consumption of the crank mounted motor allow you to travel farther.

Product Review: Bighit review
Had this bike for a few weeks now and have enjoyed it very much. Have used it to commute to work and for general exercise. Had to replace the seat which was terrible. Removed the front mudguard as well. Bike is also very heavy (29kg) and is a struggle to pedal uphill without power. When using the power assist on hills, or if you just don't want to put much effort in on the flat, it's great and you can cruise along at a constant speed no problem. There is very little noise from the motor when switched on. Have done a 30 mile cycle with 10 mile of this on very hilly off road track, and still had two Led left on the power gauge. I think it's good value for the money, as compared to others on the market.
