My ProConnect battery was replaced as it was part of the earlier 'faulty' batch. It is now 14 months old and is down to 4 lights. About a month ago I left it out in a freezing cold wind all day and when I set-off for home it dropped to a flashing light on the controller long before it usually...

I have tried conditioning it by running it down to the flashing light on the control and the battery, but it is still showing 4 lights on the test. This battery is only 13 months old as it was a replacement for the original which was replaced due to it being one of the faulty batch on the...

I travel to work using the Jarrow end of this route through the Tyne Cycle / Pedestrian Tunnel. It seems to be very popular in the summer when I see people on the C2C route. The Howdon / Jarrow part isn't very cycle friendly even though the organisers will tell you differently. There are...

It looks really cool:D

Batteries My ProConnect battery is only 12 months old but is already down to 4 out of 5 bars on the meter. The life span is 2 to 4 years and then I will have to pay out £395 (or more) for a replacement. Not exactly cheap transport. I notice in the press a lot of talk about battery cars. How...

Flecc, I find myself nodding agreement with you again as I read through your latest posting. I haven't seen any kids out in the snow round here. When my kids were young the whole neighbourhood would be out having fun. I see most of the football matches are postponed today as well because of...

I agree with you Flecc. What annoys me though is the way it is being drummed in to people that it is the 'end of the world' if not sorted now. it is like brain washing. School children have enough to contend with as they grow up without the added burden of so called Global Warming being their...

I have braved all weathers over the last six years on my Pro Connect even a blizzard, but things are too bad at the moment here in the North East so I am using the car. It isn't worth taking risks on ice. Last year I came off when I went through a mud / water mess and fractured my wrist and it...

My 2006 Giant Lafree Twist Comfort ST could do with a new battery. Do Giant still supply a replacement?

My Company charged me just £50 for my ProConnect.

I had my ProConnect battery replaced under warranty last Xmas and it has been fine until last Thursday when it was standing outside in a freezing cold wind. I noticed on the way home that the light was flashing and had to use manual to get home. I had been running on full-power but this would...

I've kept my Proconnect chain oiled regularly over the 18 months I have had the bike. Can someone tell me when the chain and any other items such as sprockets will need renewing? I've done approx. 4500 miles

Thanks for the advice. I've also recently had an annoying noise from the rear but I think it might be the battery moving slightly in its mounting.

Another 15 month Pro Connect report Just for the record I am 62 years of age, 5ft 10" and weigh 12 stone. Date Bought: July '08 (after a long wait!). Mileage: 3,500 miles approx. I cycle to work most days 13 mile round trip. Upgrades: Cateye opticube lights front and rear. Suspension...

I agree with 'Barnowl' I wish they would just clear this situation up. I don't think the police even know what is illegal or legal with regard to riding on pavements.

I've had my Pro C for 14 months and it has also been very reliable and in all weathers, used it 5 days a week and averaged 12 mph without trying too hard.

I called to place an order for an Agattu on the first day of your sale when I saw the email but didn't get an answer as it was about tea-time. I then had second thoughts and decided to keep my Giant Lafree as my back-up bike instead - Sorry Tim

I passed some pedestrians while out on my Pro Connect the other day and heard one of them remark, "That's one of them lazy bikes" :D

Come on then Flecc, what's so special about them?

Higher prices? That's me out of the running for any more ebikes. I will have to use my Pro Connect until it falls to bits, and rely on my 3 year old Lafree Twist as back-up.
