I put some these on my old bike. They were ok but (a) you have get distance just right between fixed and moving part - ie easily put out of line if you park in bike rack etc (b) as it works via magnets not sure how efficient was in terms of eaxtra resistance it creates vs power of lights. So...

Vita electric is open for business. Alan there has always been very good at servicing my bikes - and i like dealing with a local shop with good afterservice. I would say running any e bike business has probably been pretty tricky given the supply problems recently - including probably for 50...

I have just taken delivery of Rixe Bourdeau this morning (previous bike was Giant Lafree lite for four years) - from my local bike shop Vita Electric. Very similar to Agattu I think but with 8 gears not 7. I ordered a 57cm frame and I am 5ft 11inches which is a good choice but seat is at lowest...

map Hi , Im at n6 6al - plse add me to the map. cheers

I only commute 6 miles each way with daily recharge so I think it should be fine and there is only one steep hill that is only about 100m metres long. Thanks for the help.

Firstly thanks for all good advice you can get on this forum - that has helped me choose a new bike to replace my lafree. I want to order an 18 tooth sprocket to fit to my new Kalkhoff bike that is arriving soon. I have been to the SJS website recommended by Flecc and think maybe I need -...

I live near Vita Electric and a few weeks back ordered a Kalkhoff from them - I shall let you know how it goes. So far facing similar delivery delays to those that others are having.

My Giant Lite battery LED light stopped working properly a while back. Now it just blinks on and off continously all day. However all this blinking on and off does not seem to really impact performance. ......not really a solution to your problem but maybe reassurance that it may not be...

Giant Lafree Lite - SOLD Great bike sorry to see it go. 4 yrs old - Gents Large frame - 3 speed. Highgate London. £300 approx - NOW SOLD

The order form seems to have two variables to make go faster - choose HS model or not - choose 85 instead of 70 cadence So guess each is doing something different to the bike. See attached http://www.flyer-halle.de/download/kaufvertrag_2008_c_t_ths.pdf PS You can have a factory visit...

I have spare battery for a Lafree for sale - used for about two years. Am in London.

RIXE Bourdeau Pedelec- They appear to be in same stable as Kalkhoff and sell pretty similar looking Pedelec to the Agattu - except it looks like it has 8 gears. Anyone know anthing about these and spec differences? Translated version of http://www.rixe-bikes.de/

They sell two models the ones with HS (High Speed) go faster up to 35-45kpmh it sais. They look reall nice. Is there anything special about thes apart from different gearing on the back sprocket? Could a Kalkhoff give Pro connect give similar performance to these if the back sprocket was changed?

Yes its a bit confusing the front page of 50 cycles description sais "20.8 kg including battery". But More detailed page sais 20.8 kg bike weight. This same bike weight is 23 kg for the Agattu. But as AtoB sais the Agattu weighed 25.8kg it would be more or less consistent with the official...

Is the Pro Connect 5KG lighter or 2.2KG lighter than the Agattu??? From reading the new 50 Cycles link it would imply only 2.2KG but from other places It seems like there is a bigger weight difference.

Yes if a company has a good product it can decide how it want to price in different markets to extract maximum benefit for itself (by working out where demand curve lies)....and this is a reasonable thing to do. However in doing this optimisation on the demand curve it is possible that there are...

It does seem that the Japanese technology is key for many of the best regarded e bikes. This article back in 2006 asks the question about why (a) E bikes are so much cheaper in Japan (b) why we do not see the Japanese e bikes in Europe. Electric Vehicles UK

Another link from Japan that is quite interesting. I am not sure which panasonic sytem this new one is being compared to - is it same one that is one the old Giant Lafree?? http://www.jbpi.or.jp/english/JBG/JBG2007-2008/data/014-015.pdf
