Many thanks for the information on the Alfine hub/system. I wasn't aware of how they were marketed. Mine has a continuous red line around the hub towards one side. I've been out for a ride today, only my second outing it rides beautifully, the gear change is positive. This is my first ebike, I...

Thanks Flecc for the information.

Many thanks for your reply. I have tracked down a UK supplier, so will go ahead and order one. I have used a bar end mirror before, but they tend to move about a bit. Many thanks.

I wonder if anyone has any experience of using one of these devices? Think they go by the name "take a look" Thanks.

Picked up a Kalkhoff pro connect yesterday, 05/08 production. Panasonic motor, Shimano Alfine shifters, with a red labeled Nexus hub, 8 gears. Which I understand is an Alfine hub in all but name, without the disc brake facility? Would I be correct in assuming this is so? Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I am going to look at a 2008 pro connect with the Panasonic motor later today. The bike has rim brakes, but don't know what make. Will keep you posted. I know you own or have owned the pro connect model, and rate it highly.

Thanks for the reply. I know they have rim as opposed to disc brakes. I wasn't sure about the hub function as a back pedal brake, maybe this appeared on a later production run? Or was it an optional extra. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if this year model with the Shimano 8 speed hub has a back pedal brake?

Thanks, seems the way to go for my needs.

Thanks for pointing that out RobF. I will look into it further.

Thanks Warwick, looks good, and a decent price.

Just bought a bike without a LCD panel, it's just got the power, assist level indication. I wonder if anyone can recommend a good basic display, wireless or wired for the bike. Many thanks

What a beautiful part of the world you live in.

Looking forward to reading your reviews. Well done.

Which one for a getting on a bit bloke? Already decided on a step thru.

Welcome Dingo57.

Point taken. It's bad enough in the car riding over/in them!

What a great forum. Lot's of useful information from people who know from experience of using a bike being able to give honest feedback to prospective buyers. Point taken about the forks on the 705se. I don't intend to use the bike off road, so with less weight to carry seems a no brainer...

Thanks for your input Gaz. How do you find the ridged forks on the 705se?
