Many thanks Flecc, I came on this forum years back when we bought the two Kalkhoffs and I remember you being so helpful then, so nice to see you're still here and once again being a great source of information. Thank you again, Rob

Its not contact blades - I've swapped from Pro to Agattu and makes no difference. Battery flashes all LED's and then stops but placing battery on other bike, then OK and works fine. Its good than I can compare to my Pro Connect. I asked my wife when she noticed power go off and it was when she...

Thanks Flecc, I shall start to investigate. Would the motor failing give me no lights on control unit?

Hi Flecc, Its the Panasonic - I can compare to my Pro which freewheels far easier that the Agattu - it really feels as if the rear brake is on. Rob

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with the following problem. My wife has had her Kalkhoff Agattu for a few years and is used very occasionally now. We've just got back from a short ride and bike was perfect until losing power (fortunately very close to home) with no lights showing on...

Hello All, A little while ago I had 'Push Assistance' fitted to my Pro Connect. It came in very handy on some of the very steep hills in North Devon, most of them I managed to ride but on some I had to get off and push. My question is - would it be possible to 'fix' push assistance to give...

Flecc, She is most certainly not alone - I agree most wholeheartedly with her views. Rob

Flecc, I've read many of your posts and always felt what a decent man you appear to be, always helpful and obviously knowlegable. But I have to say I was saddened to read your implication that you were glad Magaret Thatcher has been suffering the ill effects of Alzheimers Desease for many...

Just found the PDF download - it does state 'stop pedalling when changing modes' My wife has the Agattu and I a Pro Connect and both ride the same. Both bikes are 9 months old.

I think you have to stop pedalling when selecting different power modes. When climbing hills I've noticed lack of extra power when just switching up. If I can manage to self-propel bike a few yards without any input and then change mode, all is fine. Rob

Many thanks for a very informative description of changes in assistance and the legalities of changes made. All very clear and understood. I do prefer the feeling of having my legs pedalling more slowly and rarely do I push for the higher speeds bike is capable of but occasionally it's nice to...

Original gearing on my Pro Connect was 35T Chain Ring, 9T Motor Sprocket and 19T Rear Hub Cog. Gearing has been changed to 41T - 11T - 18T respectively. Can any of you technical folk out there tell me how this is likely to affect performance. I have the 18a Battery Pack. Bike seems to ride...

Hello Graham, When you've made your choice of suitable bikes I'm sure you'll be thrilled as my wife and I are with our two. We live in Surrey and often cycle up around 'Box Hill' which is quite a climb - soon to be the route used for the 'Olympics Cycle Race'. The hill poses no problems and...

I have a Kalkhof Pro Connect and am wondering if handlebar height can be lowered? It appears to have 3 rings on stem - could these be reduced - 3 down to 1 perhaps? Rob

Hi Walkerman, Seems like you and I have identical problems with our bikes! Yes mine are cracked all around the side wall - it appears to resemble old rubber when it starts to perish. So far no problems though, I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Rob
