Are you going to pursue the insurers? Presumably you took out insurance with the carrier you appointed( PF)? Regardless of who has made the mistake, your insurer must compensate you. The consignment has failed to reach its destination and can't be returned, so they must reimburse you and try to...

For God's sake man, NO. Have you gone insane?

But there has to be more cable and plugs involved with a hub motor. Its inevitable. Each connection is an opportunity for a problem to occur and problems do occur, I've read about them. The Panasonic crank drives with closely coupled batteries, in my experience, are less problematic...

I meant to reply to this and forgot. Your experience of a Kalkhoff bike and Panasonic motor combination seems to reflect mine, although my bike is six years old and has done a lot more miles, it was super reliable right up to the end. The original six year old 10 Ah Panasonic battery is still...

Firstly, you need to consider if you can do 5 consecutive 24 mile commutes week after week in all weather conditions. It can be a trying and miserable experience on a bike. I am pretty fit and regularly run 6 miles 3 x a week, swim and do a few triathlons. After 5 consecutive commutes (20 miles...

Well done.

Did you end the auction early? I was watching your bike on eBay.

I think it must be Derbyshire Constabulary. An internet search gives details of a Juicy Sport being loaned to PCSOs at Glossop police station.

My father had NHS digital hearing aids and was very impressed by them. They were slightly visible but he never perceived that as being anything to worry about. In the end I suppose it comes down to personal preference and some people are willing to pay to conceal their deafness. That may be...

Absolutely. I wasn't knocking Aldi, nearly all my cycling gear comes from there. I was more concerned about the contents of the Lycra once purchased. I have seen some truely awful sights.

Plenty of Lycra on sale too! For some reason, an image of Kieth Richard's testicles after a long soak in the bath enters my mind:- nasty. https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sunday-4th-may/

First of all, decide what the bike is worth before you go and look at it. flecc provided a useful guide to second hand electric bike prices here is the link to the formula and it gives you a good starting point...

Thanks for taking the time to check availability for me. I've sent a PM to Martin but nothing back as yet. Maybe his inbox is full or he hasn't logged on. I will ring him later.

Sorry to hear about your accident and I hope that you make a full recovery soon. You should get a reasonable offer on your bike with it being fairly new and having had little use. Plus, I would think that this is a good time of year to sell.

Hi Dave, Yes, your 36 volt Panasonic crank drive unit would work on my bike and get me back on the road again. I don't want to part with the Pro Connect because I like the bike and when I eventually find a motor, it will take over from the Agattu as my commuter again. Apart from the Alfine...

Hi MS, unfortunately the 47 Volt Panasonic won't help me because it's a hub motor. Bikes such as mine which have the crank drive have a specially adapted frame and this means there is no bottom bracket for the pedals. The frame just has a mounting plate which the Panasonic crank drive motor...

Thanks flecc. I will contact Martin again. Thanks for offering to keep an eye out. Much appreciated. Cheers MS. No doubt I will end up spending more on the bike than it is actually worth, but I can't bring myself to scrap it. I actually bought a second hand Agattu with the intention of...

This is a bit of a long shot: Does anyone have or does anyone know of a working Panasonic crank drive motor (2008 or newer 26 or 36 volt) that is for sale? I need one for my Kalkhoff Pro Connect. They are occasionally available new on eBay and from Germany, but the cost exceeds the value of...

I wonder if it will be too bright for a rear light? The red gel will filter out all but the red light from the spectrum, so what is actually emitted will only be part of the LED output. This may be enough for many users. The £50 light that I linked to has a red LED fitted, it actually looks...

But it makes excellent lavatory paper.
