    Kalkhoff Sahel Pro S11

    It should. The new Kalkhoff battery fits the older bikes which were originally with the Panasonic battery, so I can't see why it shouldn't work the other way around.

    You can never have too many lights.....??

    Funny you should ask that. I ordered an LED ( single CREE not multiple LED) GU10 light bulb on 23 November. It arrived today! In fairness, that is the longest that it has ever taken for an order to arrive and we have had Christmas and all of the snow.

    You can never have too many lights.....??

    Deal Extreme always have a good selection of high power lights. Here are a few. Or, these are really good. As much light as you will ever need. Here are all of their bike lights I have always found them reliable. The parts take ages to arrive, but they always turn up, eventually. Also...

    PCB is Phencyclidine, which is an anaesthetic. It exhibits hallucinogenic and neurotoxic effects. You may know it by its street name, "Angel Dust" or "Monkey Spunk". Just one hit of PCB and you'll be able to exceed 1000 mph on your pedelec! Or as eddio has stated, it can also mean printed...

    Should I consider alterntaives to the stepthru Kalkhoff Agattu/Raleigh Dover

    As eddio says, it's well worth trying a good quality hub motor bike to compare the two systems. If you decide that a crank drive is for you, there are quite a few alternatives available, e-motion is one example which uses the same Panasonic system as Kalkhoff and Raleigh. From what people say...

    City of London E Cop!

    This is interesting David. I would imagine that in a typical shift, a lot of ground can be covered. Are the batteries lasting a full shift, or are they being changed periodically throughout? If they are changing the battery during the shift, how many are allocated to each bike? I think this...

    Pro Connect Battery

    You would probably be able to get a replacement battery from On-Bike as they sell Panasonic powered bikes. I am in a similar situation to you. My first two batteries were replaced under warranty, that last one being supplied in January 2009 making it just 2 years old. It certainly won't...

    Kalkhoff Proconnet S mini review....

    The term, two left hand cranks, is probably completely the wrong term to use, but it was all that I could think of at the time of posting. What I was trying to convey is this: On the limited number of bikes that I have worked on, the RH Crank usually attaches directly to the front chain...

    Kalkhoff Proconnet S mini review....

    I'm just about to order a set of pedals, but s thought has just occurred to me. The Panasonic system uses two left hand pedal crank arms. I would assume that a standard set of pedals is made up of one with a left hand thread and one with a right hand thread. Are these going to fit a Panasonic...

    luyuan - 4 years battery warranty

    I totally agree with this statement, it is sound advice. Not only do these wild claims lead to disappointment, ultimately they will damage the perception of ebikes in general. The new Kalkhoff battery being a case in point. Launched with an explosion of hype about a 1000+ charge cycle life...

    35mile winter commute - help

    If the Kalkhoff is a 2009 model, I would assume that the battery is duff and factor that into the price that you are prepared to pay. A new battery is about £500. Find out which model it is,and the price when new in 2009, subtract £500 (battery) from that figure. Divide the remainder by 2 and...

    Or, he could buy 10 Cyclamatics for the price of 1 flyer. That way, when one develops a fault, he could just throw it in the local canal and draw a new one out of stock. I'm sure that Flyer ownership will be a much nicer experience than Cyclamatic ownership though. Having looked at the...

    E-Bike Of The Year 2010?

    I doubt if you can pedal it. It's a 250cc petrol engined moto bike. I find these high powered ebikes with styling and performance similar to motorbikes pointless. If the idea is to emulate a motor bike in this way, why not do the job properly and buy a motorbike? They do the, "motorbike...

    E-Bike Of The Year 2010?

    This 250 EXC-F - Offroad Competition EXC - Models - Models & Accessories - KTM.com - Ready to Race is very similar but has better range and battery life than the stealth electric mountain bike.

    Don't forget Quidco or Topcashback to get a further 10% off making it £306. Plus, if one more person votes for it, The Power Plus will be ebike of the year 2010!

    Don`t know what is worse!!!

    Try to make sure that your Hamster doesn't get caught between the bike wheel and the treadmill. It makes a dreadful mess if it does. A cocktail stick will help you get the bits out of the tyre tread, should the worst happen. You can then delight your friends with Hanster Tapas.

    Cycle computer recommendations.

    You are right to go for a wired speedo, all of the wireless ones that I have owned have given trouble. I wouldn't bother too much about battery type either, the button cells last for ages, so you aren't going to be changing them frequently. You'll more than likely find that you won't use...
