Well, the place is looking more like a shop now so I'm happy to give out the address as 50cycles Electric Bike Shop 82 Hill Rise Richmond upon Thames Surrey TW10 6UB More information and a map online We have a 2010 Sahel Comfort, 2010 Agattu step-thru, 2010 Pro Connect LX and a Tasman on...

There'll be a Sahel Comfort on display, yes. That's the one with the Brooks saddle and handgrips. Good-looking bike.

Good question. Yes London Overground currently allows cycles on its trains and conveys them free of charge provided it is safe to do so. Due to space constraints, cycles are not permitted on services between Willesden Junction High Level and Gospel Oak or between Gospel Oak and Blackhorse...

We put the first bikes in display in there this afternoon and I was surprised at the early interest - schoolkids and their dads stopping in their tracks. Someone saw me gliding uphill on an a Tasman before going into the shop and had to stop me to check how I did it. This is going to be fun...

Ah, but there's a handy overground service (used to be the Silverlink) to Richmond from Finchley Road & Frognal, only takes about half an hour.

I'd have liked to have done this years ago, but it's only recently the ideal property has come up. It also means I'll be cycling around 14 miles every day from now on, some of it through the glorious central avenue in Bushy Park, which is going to be excellent. Yes, we'll certainly be looking...

Thanks tangent!

Hello, we'll be opening the 50cycles electric bike shop in Richmond, South West London very, very shortly. It's a great location with easy access to Richmond Park, the riverside and not too far from Richmond bus and rail stations. We'll have a range of Kalkhoff electric bike models (and maybe a...

Interesting. How much assembly is required? The Kalkhoffs come "98%" assembled - pedals off, handlebars turned.

Hi Mike, more to follow on that model. I've not had a spare minute to put it up on the website yet. Very nice bike, the first full-sized throttle assist bike we've had since eZee, with a 37V 13Ah Lithium Polymer pack powering the 250W rear-mounted Bafang. 7-speed cassette. Range is around...

Thanks for the detailed review Lemmy. Of all our bikes, it seems to be the Tasman that gets the more demanding jobs - marking out routes for endurance races in the Pennines, starting a new life on the back of a barge going around Europe, travelling all around the Highlands and Islands. And all...

Kalkhoff's Agattu XXL is rated up to 170kg/27 stone! It just won an award from ExtraEnergy as the best 'Tour Pedelec' and ADAC (the German AA) also gave it top marks last month. 50cycles Electric Bikes - Kalkhoff Agattu XXL Pedelec Electric Bike is Best Electric Bicycle Ever Ah, missed that...

I remember reading a couple of years ago that Yamaha had come up with a solar-powered luminous paint for increased visibility at night. Sounds good to me.

Those bikes are gorgeous, a selection were on display at the Cycle Show. Their pale gold gleam is irresistible.

Thanks for that! Well spotted and now corrected. Tim

The Sahel also has some very tidy mudguards - Curana C- Lite Aluminium composite. The seatpost is good too - uses a parallelogram suspension system.

I was 34 when I started riding these, come to think of it. Good point tho, it's an area for improvement. They've given the S series bikes a more techy lookin chainguard, which helps set that range apart a little.

And yet that's the bike we sell most often to people under 40! That and its stablemates the Pro Connect LX and S 'European' like a BMW, Audi, Mercedes or Maserati, right? I've not heard the word european used as a euphemism for dated before! I would agree though, I don't think the younger...

News of more awards for the Kalkhoff range of electric bikes reached us this afternoon. ExtraEnergy - the non-profit organisation which supports the development of personal electric transport and runs annual reviews of electric bicycles - have just awarded the prizes for the best Pedelecs at...
