i would also appreciate any pictures. I have ordered one for a ProConnect S, and will be anxious to see how fast it will work on this model. I am also hoping that it isnt too obtrusive looking.

This is info I just received from 50Cycles: There's good news regarding the throttle, we're told by their engineers it will operate the motor up to 20 kph (about 12.5mph) compared to 6 kph (less than 4mph) in all other models. Not only that, the maximum pedelec assistance level is greater...

There are situations where after a long ride, and depending upon your age and condition, you may encounter leg cramps, exhaustion, wherein a little respite from pedalling may be welcome. If you have it there, what negative would it have?? I just was wondering how fast you could go, with it...

Does anyone have any experience with the new Panasonic ThrottleKit? I ask, because I am shortly taking delivery on a new ProConnect "S". Can this be used to cruise along with the bike, as in other bikes? Why would it be limited to just a "walk-along" speed? Can that be disabled in order to...

Will the new site have the ability to imbed photos in the thread, instead of on another page?

Thank you for the post, any information I can obtain on the Kalkoffs is much appreciated, as we have no dealers in the U.S. I am awaiting delivery on a ProConnect-S, and wonder how much of this review pertains to the "S" model? I am not sure what the handlebat will be like, nor the seatpost...

I tink the system is great. I have used it for 4 months straight laqst year, with no problems. I never noticed that there were that many stolen or missing bikes, and do not understand why that is a problem for them. The last person to rent the bike is responsible for returning it, and if not...

Flecc, Can I ask where you obtained the picture? I'd like to see if I could get a Hi-Res version. Thanks

Thanks for all the input everyone. What I meant, was trying to get more assist to tackle the hills in my town. Yes, I did order thew ProConnect-S, but I can't tell you how it compares to the regular ProConnect, since I have never driven either, bought them sight unseen, as there are none in...

FECN, It is is silicone, there shouldn't be that much of a problem, as I have tackled removing epoxy like substances over chips nbefore. Let me know what happens, as I am receiving my ProConnect next month.

I read in another thread that FLECC had mentioned that it was possible to get better hill climbing ability, if the software was revised. Is this possible on a Pr-Connect? I do not live in the UK, so UK laws against this would not worry me. Here many european cars have their engine software...

When I was in Europe,Germany late last year, I inquired about purchasing a Kalkhof in Germany, for export, but it still worked out better buying it from 50Cycles, which I did, still waiting for delivery.

Flecc had mentioned a new bike for 2009 that may surpass the Kalkhoff for bike of the year. Does anyone have any info on what this new bike may be? I dont want to be buying a new bike this month, if a better one is coming along soon.

Flecc, Is there a specific reason why you cant disclose your new pick of 2009? I have just ordered a Pro-Connect-S and will order another very shortly, if there is something better coming that I am not aware of, I would really like to know, esopecially considering the amount I will be...

For those of us that complain about our commute, see this: Optibike - Jeff Baum in Breckenridge, CO | Veoh Video Network

Hey, I have nothing to do with the site! I thought it might interest everyone here. What interested me, is the size of the battery, speed, duration of the battery time, and 3 year warranty, all in a bike about the same weight as a Pro-Connect that I have ordered, and the price on the base model...

I guess alot of new entrants into e-bikes..... Looking for an electric bike that does the pedaling for you? You have plenty of choices, particularly if you're willing to drop over $2,000, but finding one that uses regenerative braking to extend the life of its meager on-board batteries isn't...

If all you are looking for is distance travelled, then if you happen to have a Apple iPhone mobile, there is a free program that uses the builtin GPS function to determine miles pedaled or travelled, as well as a save function. Just a thought, it works for me.
