I use a Keis electric vest when riding my motorcycle in winter and it is absolutely essential. When I am cycling I get warm very quickly - even in very cold weather I can get too warm. I would never see the need to use heated clothing. Just make sure you are wearing the right type of clothing...

Sorry, to clarify - I mean the red button on the side of the battery.

When I have not ridden my Kalkhoff for a while the display will not come on and it looks dead. I just press that red circular button on the side and it fires up and all is normal.

Thanks everyone - feeling more optimistic.

Thanks soundwave - a very possible path to take.

Thanks VFR400 (owner of Honda VFR400 by any chance ??) - that sounds good - where can I find out more.

Thanks, Will. I think it is going to come to that. I will just have to adjust to the idea.

I bought a Kalkhoff Agattu Premium 3 years ago for £2695.00. The bike is excellent apart from the motor. I had a replacement 2.2 motor 18 months ago (still under warranty) and this one has started making horribly load cracking noises although so far it is still rideable. I suppose I am going...

I was getting some noises from the belt and motor on my year old Agattu. I had done 1200 miles and it was still performing Ok but I was concerned about the noise. I therefore rode down to 50cycles new Twickenham shop. They asked me to leave the bike with them and that they would check it over...

I like the quality of the components and the frame etc. Also mine has belt drive which I like. The demo bike I tried was very good. I am having motor noises and the battery isn't giving the 128 mile range I had expected so the bike is back with 50cycles for them to service and check. I must...

Surely if it says in the brochure that a 17ah battery will give 128 miles in Eco mode then it is not unreasonable to expect that with a new battery after charging and before any riding the display for Miles Remaining for Eco should say 128 miles. If it doesn't then something is wrong.

My Kalkhoff is not giving the range I had expected (approx 70 instead of 120+). I have done a couple of charges to full. I have never actually drained the battery to completely empty. I always go down to just a bit remaining. Apparently one should completely drain the battery to achieve the...

I am enjoying the bike at the moment. It is really nice to ride but I can't help worrying that the motor is going to pack up at any minute. It does make some irritating noises and occasional cracks which the demo bike never did. I am going in for a first free service on Friday so I will mention...

How is the legal action going ? Some of us may be confronting the same problems soon and would really appreciate being kept informed. .

I have just bought an Agattu and I am getting about 70 miles using mainly Eco I use Power on steeper hills and then switch back to Eco. I always free wheel when I can. My bike has 28 inch wheels and I keep the tyre pressures to 50 psi. It seems to freewheel much faster than my 26" wheel...

Oh well it seems I am the victim of a con by Kalkhoff and 50cycles.

I wonder how many other people this has happened to ? Also I wonder how other motors (Bosch, Yamaha etc) compare for reliability. The bike is great to ride but I am worried now. I am beginning to think that not only did I buy the most expensive bike but I may also bought the most unreliable...

How depressing ! I have done about 150 miles now with no problems. I will ask 50cycles to check it out just in case. They seem very helpful so far. The bike is absolutely excellent by the way.

It has lived up to expectations and I am really enjoying it. It is fantastic for getting around London. I can go up the steepest hills in Hampstead with ease. I love the appearance of the bike - it has that retro all black appearance like a Dutch bike but at the same time is very high tech...

I received a DVD with my bike and it has an option for downloading the latest manual (EN) which I did. It states In the section 5.4 Battery and service life "Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts come with a 2 year warranty.. If a fault occurs during this period your specialist cycle shop will...
