There must be something in the air at Westminster. We delivered a Kalkhoff Pro Connect to an Earl back in June, he's been using it to commute to the House of Lords (and also out in the countryside) since then.

Yes, I'm picking this up as well. The 90s were an exceptional time, socially and culturally in the UK, compared to what was the norm before and is becoming the norm after. Very safe, tolerant, equitable and exciting. Maybe something to do with the pressure release at the end of the Cold War...

You've broken new ground with this electric bike testing methodology! ;)

I own both a throttle-operated (eZee Cadence) and pure pedelec bike (Pro Connect) and have ended up preferring the latter. I almost always pedalled the eZee bikes anyway, despite the pure power option, but also had to keep the throttle open at all times. I was effectively thinking for the bike...

The Kalkhoff Pro Connect S will be available with 27-speed dual drive next year.

PS Did anyone see the Gadget Show this week? Our ludicrously fast and light Zero MX electric motorcycle was ridden by Suzy Perry in the final part of their 'Living without wires challenge' FiveFWD - Living Without Wires - Part Three video from The Gadget Show Zero MX

Hi Aldby, that was me! I'll be running a few errands in the trusty 50cycles van over the next few days - delivering parts and bikes and picking up a Pro Connect that has been evaluated by a local constabulary over the past couple of months. And also clipping the tree on my drive when...

The bit that impressed me is the auto-stoplight. Red LED bank goes from flashing to solid when it detects deceleration. It'll also recharge your phone/iPod/PSP if its battery is running low, and similarly you can have it sitting next to your laptop charging at work before the ride home. Fitted...

We've come across something a bit different recently

We're also giving away a Pro Connect in Wired magazine this month too - electric bikes are breaking out all over! I think some telly coverage is imminent too, isn't that right David?

A good friend of mine is an editor there.

Hmmm, there's a discrepancy between the number of stars on the website and the number printed in the magazine. I'll say no more... except that only one bike gets five stars in print. ;)

The big idea behind the article is cycling with lycryling, hence the fashion shoot style and editorial. Can't wait to see this in print come the morning. And it's my son's first birthday too :)

The Mail on Sunday have done some nice work here - picked a bunch of the best electric bikes, taken some superb photos and published it all on the web The Motor-cycle diaries: Looking good on your electric bike | Mail Online

Oof, take that motorists... Motorists to pay £250 tax for parking at work - Telegraph £250 per space per year which can be passed on to workers by employers, likely to take effect in Nottingham, at first, from 2012. If only there was some other viable means of travelling the miles...

That would actually be great. The UK is becoming a little too much like a retirement village after curfew lately.

THE world's first zero-emissions motorcyle race took place over the 37.73-mile Mountain Course at the 2009 Isle of Man TT this morning. And it was Rob Barber, riding the Team Agni machine, who will go into the record books and TT folklore as the first winner. 'Absolutely fantastic,' was his...
