The Bike shop in Brockenhurst in the New Forest had one in at least a couple of months ago. Quite similar to Kalkoff (cannot remember price tho' but I think not that much different from Kalkoff). Mike

Thanks James. Which side does the spring clip go, does it face the wheel or outwards or doesn't it matter? Mike

Thanks for a great report. My wife's and my Pro Connects have only covered about 3,500 miles each over the same period - all of it leisure cycling but ours reflect some of your early experiences (thankfully no problems (yet) with my rear 24 spoker - the 2 year warranty is up in June!!). I'm...

Rain Stopping play but... Hi all Been doing some more measurements and testing. Will report yesterday's events but today is on hold as it's raining in Dorset and whilst I'm allowed to get soaked the Pro Connect's not allowed out to play in the rain. Note that ambient temperature was about 4...

Thanks for your replies so far. James - the single light is also flashing on the battery itself, not just the handlebar control, so more likely internal battery 'effect' than poor external connection? My wife's battery behaved perfectly on my bike and my battery was still 'troublesome' on...

Hi all I was out cycling yesterday and when I started I had 4 lights up on the Panasonic battery and still two on the handlebar control. With quite limited use (my wife and I only really use our power for bad hills or strong headwinds) the handlebar control suddenly went from two lights to a...

Just noted TWO Kalkoff Pro Connects for sale on ebay, one diamond frame and one step-thru'. Thought Mrs 'O' had put ours on!!! Both look in good nick - starting at £600 - seller has no feedback score. Altho' doesn't say so, expect they've both got chargers! Kalkoff Pro Connect Electric bike...

Hi The seller isn't doing himself any favours by his pictures of it. Main photograph is of it from the 'wrong' side - they never look as 'pretty' from that side and even worse without a battery and against a railing. You don't even know it comes with a battery until you read on... I know...

Having 2 Pro Connects in the family (me and Mrs O) my vote goes to its upgrade/faster Kalkoff Pro Connect S, which she wont let me have - YET! Mike

As the owners of two Pro Connects (one for me and one for Mrs O) we can only applaud the action of 50 cycles in recovering this bike. We agree with the posters who say the police simply wouldn't have bothered, and even if it had all gone thru' due process the magistrates would have just given...

Please add me, Oriteroom (pro Connect diamond frame) and Mrs 'O' (Pro Connect Step thru'), at BH9. Mike in Bournemouth

Dan Have you bought one? - Is it you modelling the one in your post? Mike

Thanks for this one Dan. Will get one for me and one for my wife to pack in our cases when we jet off on hols. We love cycling abroad but sadly a lot of bike hire places don't have helmets. We could have done with one when Mrs O came off her bike around Lake Garda, the slipsteam from a large...

WOW!!! Some bargain. What was is on a Buy it Now price at that! Unbelieveable. Let us know if it's genuine (looks like it oughta be given he's got feedback) but...£350! Regards. Mike

Swiss Tourist Centre no longer doing trip but... Hi Julian Had another look at this and getting keen to do it next summer but unfortunately it's no longer offered by the STC (who presumably organised travel arrangements to Spiez etc.) However they did give a contact (www.alpavia.ch) who seem...

Best chain lubricants I use the same technique as tillson on both my Pro Connect and my wife's Pro Connect. Been applying GT85 very regularly but it does build up crud after a while which I mainly clean off by passing the chains through a rag very liberally sprayed with GT 85 ( the 'mickle'...

James, Flecc, and HarryB Thanks for all your helpful comments. Mike

Hi all Have I got a problem starting with the Panasonic battery on my Kalkoff Pro Connect or did it just go into hibernation because of the cooler nights? This morning when I went to get my Pro Connect out, no lights would light up either on the battery or on the handlebar control switch...

Struggling with a factor of 10 I'm stuggling with a factor of ten on trying to covert watts/calories used. Clearly I'm missing an important point. Asumming steady state conditions of a 70Kg man and 24kg bike cycling at 15 km/hr with no headwind on a flat road the value in watts used is 36...
