Yes it is indeed. I think I need more of a repair man than a dealer.

Hello everyone, I don't know if you recall, but a couple of months ago I was involved in an accident, where a large 4x4 hit me from behind- throwing me to the ground, and rendering my bike unusable. The insurance company involved have been very understanding, but now need a full quote to...

Ok, Eddie my dear, I called the police on 101 first thing. I then went to the local police station to fill out a form and statement. This will be submitted tomorrow AM together with the medical report. I don't see what the police has to do with the damage to my bike- generally the police will...

Ok everyone. Firstly thanks a million for all the kind words and sage advice. Secondly, I have been in touch with my GP as pain in my ankles and wrists was beginning to develop, as well as a sore back. She tells me that there is nothing to worry about; just to rest up, and she also...

You're right there, I actually have booked a GP appointment for tonight; as the day goes on I'm feeling sorer and sorer... I spoke to the woman on the phone, and she can't understand how a "small bump" can cause so much damage blah blah.... I said "lady, you hit a bike with a 3 tonne car-...

I got her details, sure- and took a picture of her car just for the sake of it. What happens from here on is dependent on her insurance I suspect, I just need someone to certify that the bike is indeed a write off.

I agree on this one, my car insurance has rocketed in the past few years due to these type of claims. That being said, my bike is damaged, and like you said, I don't need to suffer due to her concentration lapse (mobile/make-up/ipod/radio etc.)

Okay, so I will take my bike in to be looked at- a hugh pain as I cycle to work every day... What type of cost are we looking at to replace frame, wheels, etc? Also about the whiplash- I was so shaken when it occured, I couldn't feel a thing! It didn't make sense to me that I had fallen...

I suspect it does- it just looks wrong, perhaps buckled slightly. In any case, I'm worried about the future. I know in the case of car accidents, they advise replacing child car seats and the like, as the integrity of the structure may have been compromised, albeit not noticeably. Likewise with...

Hey all! Kalkhoff Agattu 8speed 18Ah. I'm beaming that I'm still here to be able to type this... I was waiting by a give-way this morning, when a giant, 3 liter BMW 4x4 went smack into the back of me, sending me flying into a main road. The driver (f) was extremely apologetic, however...

Hi, sorry forgot to mention! It's a Kalkhoff Agattu. (Panasonic)

Hey all, Went for my first long road ride today, through London. Because of the many red lights, I had to stop and start often... While I'm waiting at the red light, I always position my foot on one pedal, to be ready to move off as soon as I can. My question is: will this put...

Something for you... :-) Schleich Squirrel: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games

I know, I think I'll be more devastated about the bag than anything else :-)

Hey everyone... Basically, I didn't want my battery to stand out- firstly b/c of thieves, (I can't always carry myu battery around with me,) and secondly I don't want everyone seeing that my bike is an electric one... ...So, I produced the below bag. It's a regular Lee Cooper bag, (tenner...

Gotta love the speed all these replies came in- It's great to feel welcomed to a community like this :-) I'm particularly honored to have the great Flecc replying on my first posting here- I loved your review on the Kalkhoff, and perhaps may even have been pushed over the edge by it. When I was...

I've been using a Magnum Plus chain bike lock- it's heavy alright, but once you start using the power assist it really is a drop in the ocean- lose half a pound and you'll be back in eqilibrium :-) Also- I wrap mine round the seat post, tight enough so that it doesn't rattle and I really don't...

NOW SOLD. Hey all, I am selling a: Magnum Plus Chain Bike Lock - 85cm. I bought it only three days ago, but unfortunately it is not long enough for my electric bike. (Thanks Halfords for the great advice....) Hence it's here for sale so that I can buy the longer one. I've used it for...

How to fool Kalkhoff motor... Hello everyone, I am a new owner of a Kalkhoff Agattu. Upon purchase, I was told I could fool the motor by switching a sprocket or something like that...? At the time I said no as I was nervous to do any modifications, but now I kinda think it would be...

Worthwhile buying a decent lock- this £9.99 lock I could probably chew through :-)
