I used to have one of these about 50 years ago. They were originally metal bodied (later plastic) and pushed on to a metal bracket on one side of the front fork or on a similar bracket on the handlebar stem. They were much more durable than modern lights. Last week I hit a slight bump in the...

I assumed he was replying to my post about the charger plug being intermitent. Because of his comment I did use another socket, and it did start charging this time. I will see how it goes :)

Yes. I changed the fuse first time it happened and it worked. The next time it happened was a few weeks later and I opened it up and just moved the fuse and wiggled the 2 pin plug. It worked! The same thing has happened about 8 times in 6 months. This most recent event as I said, I...

I got home this evening and put the battery on the charger and plugged it in to the other adaptor plug I mentioned earlier - nothing. I tried it several times but still not a flicker. I then put the 2 pin plug back in the original adaptor plug and it worked. I never know if it will work...

That's all good news. The hot topic on the right hand side of the page 'Another cyclist successfully sues over 'bike fault' is also very interesting about a buckled wheel.

You have been really unfortunate but I'm sure that 50Cycles will sort it out for you very quickly. I got my replacement battery from them within days. I had problems with the charger not working sometimes but I used a different adaptor plug and I think that may have solved the problem.

I have had a Pro Connect for 6 months and I like it very much mainly because it looks like a normal bike. It is lightweight and quick but I did think at the time that it was a little pricey. I was considering getting another one to replace my 3 year old Giant Lafree Twist ST which I have kept...

I stopped using the local cycle path when I came off on ice. The path runs past a works which has several liquid oxygen storage tanks which are often shrouded in vapour especially in cold weather. As I rode down the path on a cold day I noticed moisture under the mist cloud and slowed...

Yes, I had to get out my 3 year old Giant Lafree Twist ST. Charged the battery and it was up and running without any problems after standing idle for the past 5 months. It certainly was (still is) a classic bike and oozes quality. It is a pity Giant didn't develop it along the lines of the...

I have also noticed that some vehicle drivers have mis-judged where I am when they have passed me, and I came to the conclusion that they had assummed that I was a conventional cyclist going at a slower speed. The Pro Connect is very fast and I feel that I need to have bright flashing lights...

Pro Connect Battery Just to let the forum know that the faulty battery I had was replaced by 50C within days of them receiving it.

I've had a ProConnect for 5 months and I have really enjoyed it. It is very fast, great at climbing hills and with a sprung seat post it is reasonably comfortable. It has 'style' and it doesn't look like a quirky ebike which I wanted to avoid. The battery has been returned this week for...

I've had problems with the charger as well. Replaced the fuse each time but last weekend just dismantled the plug and fiddled around with the fuse holder and 2 pin plug and it worked, so must just be a poor connection.

I'm not panicking. This website is used by ebike owners for discussion and that is exactly what has been going on.

Pro Connect Battery I fully charged the battery tonight then did the 10 second test. It registered 3 lights on.

Pro Connect Battery Test I got home this evening having done 13 miles on full power setting and had one light left on the battery. (I use a 16T sprocket) I did the test and it registered 3 lights on the battery. I got the Pro Connect in July and have done about 950 miles. This test...

Questions! Now that I am kind of paranoid about the number of spokes in my Pro Connect wheels I have also become aware that there aren't any reflectors fitted. I thought this was law in this country. Can someone explain if this is correct? Why are they not fitted to the Pro Connect...

Battery Test? Can someone explain the 10 sec. battery test please? I can't find it by doing a search.

I do about 13 miles return each day to my place of work, on my Pro Connect. I enjoy it very much and it takes less time than using the car as I avoid the daily traffic jams along the route. I have a 16 cog set-up, I use full power all the time and the battery has two bars remaining after the...

Pro Connect Handlebars I was going down a steep hill last night and braked fairly gently when my handlebars suddenly went forward. The lower hexagon socket screw was loose and took a couple of turns to tighten it up. I had adjusted the handlebars when I got the Pro Connect last July and...
