    Cube or Cube

    I'm about to buy / place my order (3 weeks wait) for a Cube reaction hybrid pro 29 :) Unfortunately there was only a race 29 available for a test ride in my preferred frame size and I know there's a few little differences between the two. During my 5 mile test ride I didn't use the top power...

    Yet another battery question

    OK so were all sick of battery questions but I'm looking for a technology question/answer. This question is probably best answered by trade members of folks who have had many e-bikes. Given that tech has moved on in leaps and bounds since I brought my Agattu in 2008 with its 26v 10a battery...

    7s booster

    First up, I'll put this here as I'm not allowed in the technical section:confused: I have a 2008 Agattu and after a reset my battery test shows 80% (4 lights) I'm now finding Id like to use more assist without loosing any range and maybe gain some. OK so I've just splashed out £115 on two 7s...

    What to do with my Agattu

    OK so before the bike there's me :) Arthritis in my knees mean that I can't put all my weight into peddling, effectively that means I can't get off the saddle to peddle, I use the shortest mountain bike gears on steep hills and really spin those peddles, going up hill at 2 to 3 mph :o This...

    Is it just me

    OK as it's the last day of summer:confused: I managed to squeeze a 30 mile ride in today on my non assisted hybrid. Dispite the adverse conditions I still enjoyed it, even my favourite down hill bit normally 30mph free wheeling, the head wind meant peddling only got me to 14mph:( Anywho, back...

    Kalkhoff Agattu

    Here we have my Agattu, I've owened it from new (2008) and have covered less than 900 miles. It helped me no end while my knees were bad, but I'm not getting the use out of it anymore, so it's time for a new owner:rolleyes: It has a big squishy specialised seat as the postmodern seatpost...

    Backup battery

    Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I've searched and can't find the answer. I now seam to be running my Agattu on longer & longer rides, getting closer to max battery range. I'm now concerned about running out of juice with miles of hilly peddling to get home. Here's the...

    Wanted 11 tooth sprocket

    Hard work ! I like to try things myself before asking stupid questions but after much searching, I can't find a 11 tooth motor sprocket for my 26v Agattu anywhere, 12's & 13's yes but no 11's. 50cycles did say they would let me know when they have stock but I'd like one now :p Dose anyone know...

    26v Agattu gearing vs cadence

    Hi there folks I'm sure some here have experience changing the gearing on Kalkhoff Agattu and could help point me in the right direction. Question, If I fitted a bigger motor sprocket, would I loose out on range & if so, by how much? Or is there another way to increase crank rpm...

    First post

    Hi there folks This being my first post I thought I'd say hello and a bit about me. After several knee ops over 20 or so years leaving me with no cartridge & arthritis, I finally brought a new Agattu from Loughborough. That was about 500 miles and 7/8 years ago :o( finding the Agattu a...
