The bike is in immaculate condition. I bought it last year from 50 Cycles but have only done 72 miles on it. I have finally, very reluctantly. had to recognise that at the age of 83 things aint what they used to be and that my cycling days are over. So this lovely machine deserves a new owner...

Thank you all - especially the imaginative suggestions - but it turns out that on this model the frame number is on the seat post behind the battery. So with battery lifted out of the way I have been able to read it by merely leaning forward. A relief!!

where do I find the frame number on my Kalkhoff Agattu HS 8G ( excuse I'm 82 and have mobility problems so avoid bending down too often)

Thank you. That did the trick. I am very grateful. Another splendid example of the value of this forum.

I have been away for under 3 weeks. Before I went all was fine. Battery about 60% charged, When I came to take it out today nothing happened when I pressed the on switch for the display. No useful suggestions in the troubleshooting section of the manual. Any ideas please?

Anyone come across this assisted machine? Any comments/ views appreciated.

I agree Flecc. It is all in those two words" culture" and "attitude". The culture is so ingrained, the attitude negative where it is not hostile. Look at the old newsreels.They poured out of the factory gates in their hundreds - on bicycles. Well the working classes did because they couldn't...

No doubt because they live in a cycle friendly country and have an infrastructure to go with that - and we don't.

Yes it was a lovely bike and it and I did many miles together both up north in this country and in Extremadura Spain. More reliable cycling weather out there!

I had one. Here is a photo of it in its prime

Does anyone have experience of using adaptors for Woods to Schrader valves? How good are they?

Thank you Flecc. Concise and clear advice, as always.
