    Kalkhoff Pro Connect. Impressive range.

    Completed an 81 mile ride 5500 ft of climbing. Mostly on Eco/sport ( low and mid) but used full power mode as well for some hills towards the end. Battery was showing 3 bars on the dashboard indicator and one led on the battery itself so still maybe 5-10 miles left. I'm very impressed!

    Sustrans removes OS mapping?

    I use the sustrans app/website quite a lot. It was great for plotting routs as not only did it show cycle paths you could get 1:25000 level OS mapping to find bridle ways to link up. Looks like they have removed the OS mapping which has greatly reduced its usefulness. The zoomed in level has no...
