    Cold

    I guess I am really spoiled here, as the weather was about 80 degrees F. yesterday. A big change from the days I lived in West Finchley, London! So I guess riding here is about the same year round.

    My first e-bike - ProConnect-S

    Sight unseen, I have ordered my first e-bike, a ProConnect-S . It will be approx 2-3 months before it arrives, but should have one of the first (I dont know if that is a good thing). Has anyone else (non UK) ordered one as well, or am I the lone member?

    Velo Solex - makeover

    I just finished restoring 3 VeloSolexes from the 60's, and the reason I have just ordered a ProConnect-S is that they did nbot perform as expected. They are just fine on flat streets(ie: Paris), but on any type of slope, they just wont make it, and they are too heavy to pedal around. This is...

    The falling £

    Unfortunately for some, someones loss is always someone elses gain. This should make e-bikes less expensive for us U.S. buyers for once. The surge of the Euro has been brutal for us here, at least it is getting a bit better now. Sorry

    Help needed spec'ing Pro-Connect-S

    I think I am going to go ahead with a ProConnect-S, hoping that it will have some extra "oomph" on hills, and allow me to go a bit faster, if I ever wanted to. I am MOSTLY concerned about comfort, this will be a bike just to ride to town and with the kids (kids are 25+ years), I am neither a...

    What size Bike to order.

    Ken, Thank you for the info- you are right, the ProConnect-S does have different sizing, so would I then be better off with the 55" Frame Size? The next size up would be the 60", maybe too big?? I wonder why 50Cycles does not have a new page up for the "S" Model.

    Which basic speedometer is recommended for a pedelec such as the ProConnect? I only need speed and trip distance log, but prefer something easy to read (digital) and preferably wireless. Is CatEye a good choice?
