    Has anyone tried or bought an Emotion bike?

    If reliability, build quality and handling are key criteria in your choice, I really would recommend you try a Kalkhoff Pro Connect as part of your selection process. There may be one available to try locally 50cycles electric bike demonstrators

    Kalkhoff Pro-Connect 15 month report

    Thanks Frank, I like that phrase 'laughs at hills'! I like how the Pro Connect I use 'chuckles at headwinds' and 'sniggers at traffic lights' too. Great to see the battery capacity bearing up so very well over those 15 months as well. We had a report in from an Agattu owner over the weekend...
