Talked to 50 Cycles, and they have already ordered their supply of ProConnect-S 's. They said (if I understood correctlY) that they have taken orders as well. If anyone has ordered one, let me know why you decided to get the S instead of the Regular. They told me that the new 2009 models have...

Other than the Kalkhoff site, which does not have (or I can not find) Where can I get more info , such as : Weight Frame etc. I am trying to see exactly what the differences bewtween this and the S are that warrant another 600 Euro expenditure. The added speed, will it help on hills?

I have noticed that some bikes (ie: Flyer) have similiar bikes that differ in wheel size. What are the reasons for choosing a 26" or 28" wheel version. Is one more suited to a type of biking such as speed, or hill climbing, or doeas it have to do with body size?

Are there any Pro Connect S owners on this forum. If so, could you let us know who? I understand that there are none from the U.K., but maybe from Germany, Switzerland, etc..

OK, I went to my local (Paris0 Flyer dealer. They had NO flyers in stock, maybe would have a Flyer C (not the one I want) later this month. This means I will not be able to see either of the two bikes I will buy. Therefore I will have to rely on the recommendations of others. Are there any...

Today I went to a store nearby that only carried Electric Pedelecs. I was looking for the Kalkhoffs or Flyers to try, but all thy had were the following: Giant Twist Matra I-Step City Helkama E-2800 Batavus Padova Gazelle Easy Rider Sparta Ion Kogo-Miyata Tesla Alot of these are models...

Raleigh has released info on the new bike: Raleigh Bikes - Best of britain bikes - Unfortunately I do not read German, but can make most of the specs out.

OK, I had the list narrowed down to Schwinn Continental, Pro-Connect , Gazelle, mostly leaning towards the Pro-Connect, but now there are a few more choices: Pro-Connect S, Flyer S, T, C Models. I can NOT try any of these models where I am located (have contacted all manufacturers as well)...

I rode my first e-bike today, a Pegasus E-Swing. It was a little different than I expected. As I began to pedal off, the surge of the battery motor came on (Sanyo). as I pedaled, the motor stayed on assisting, but after a very short time, the bike was moving faster than I was pedaling, and it...

For an ebike that may be used in hilly terrain, which is the best gear setup: Regullar Derraileur with 3 gears up front and 8 in back, or the newer Nexus 7 speed enclosed hub with planetary gears? Also while on the subject, is there any performance advantages uses a solid drive shaft, like in...

Has anyone had any experience with the new Schwinn Continental? Suppossedly it has a gear drive, as opposed to a chain drive, and also uses a Shimano Nexus 7 speed internally hubbed shifter, and a Schwinn Front Hub drive (Panasonic??) It sounds interesting, any comments??

I was wondering if anyone has ridden the Parisian rental bikes that line Paris's streets, the VELIB. I ask this because I have ridden one almost daily for the past month, and find it both comfortable (seating and riding position). I wanted to know if any of the Panasonic e-Bikes, like the ...

IS anyone familiar wuith any e-bike shops in Paris that may have the Gazelle, or Kalkhoff e-bikes?

This is my first post. I live in a town that is both hilly and flat. To get to the center of town (flat portion), you have to go down a long hill, approx 2-3 miles, and to get home, up the same hill. After riding Velibs everyday in Paris, I decided to take up cycling again, after a 20-30 year...
