Just following up - I emailed Kalkhoff USA yesterday, and they'd replied when I got up this morning! Reply was: "Since the charger is European and is designed for 220v and we utilize 110v in the U.S., all you need is a simple plug adapter and can use your current charger. There is not a...

Thank you so much flecc, that's exactly my charger and just what I needed to know. I'll get in touch with the US Kalkoff people and see how much it'll be - a lot less than a new bike, anyway! (I've also emailed the UK Raleigh ebike website, so I'll let you know if they tell me any different.)...

Hi all I have a 2009 Raleigh Dover, using the normal sort of standard Panasonic battery fitted to Kalkhoffs, etc. I shall be moving to the US in a few months, and would obviously love to continue using my gorgeous electric bike (even though I'll no doubt look like a weird European loon)...

I live next to Lake Geneva; it's quite an affluent and somewhat hilly area and it seems like about every 3rd bike I see around here is electric. My 10 yr old is counting down the years until he's allowed one. :)

Which of course I couldn't do on my normal bike, being at the top of the sort of hill that requires mules and oxygen to get up it. :) <Waves to lectureral>

Ooh, this is nice - add me on! We don't have postcodes here as such, but can you put me down as Lausanne, Switzerland? And my bike is a Raleigh Dover. Thanks. kodokan

Hi all Just to add to the very useful information in this thread.. I've got a 6 months' old Kalkhoff Agattu-clone (the Dover Cycles Raleigh one), and have just done a conditioning cycle on my battery too. Over the quite harsh winter here in Switzerland, I've noticed that the battery's...

Solved the Agattu trailer hitch problem! Hi guys Just wanted to follow up on this thread to show how hubby eventually solved the trailer hitch issue for me, in case anyone else needs to solve the same problem in the future. Basically, we've now mounted the hitch directly onto the frame...

I've just bought the Agattu clone, the Raleigh Dover, and I'm beyond delighted with it. It just walks up hills - today I was riding it up a little, very steep hill on the exit from an underpass, with my trailer attached, and I could feel it surging forward with every press of the pedals. It...

Bah - that Burley Classic Hitch looks perfect, but can I find ANYONE in Europe to buy it from..? I tried finding a dealer using the German site you helpfully sent, but entering the name of every German town I could think of produced nothing. As did searching for dealers in Switzerland or...

That's a great pic, thanks a lot. I think this would work on my bike - will print the pic and hold it up against my frame! - so now I just need to find someone who sells these. Any ideas, anyone? Has to be mail order as I'm in Switzerland, and amazon.com won't ship it here, bah. I've...

Thanks Mutmost, I'll see if I can find some better images of a Burley hitch actually on a bike - I'm not very visual. I also found this one late last night, which might do the job: Hitch Adapter I can get one of these for £30 plus a few pounds postage, so I'll do a comparison of...

Thanks very much for the suggestions so far; I'll point my more technical half at this thread. My hitch is exactly the same as the one shown on this dog trailer; not sure if it has an official name or type: BICYCLE DOG TRAILER DoggyRide Novel pet bike trailer Don't know how much...

Hi all I'm just in the process of kitting out my lovely, lovely new electric bike ready for shopping, etc. My bike is a Raleigh Dover (Kalkhoff Agattu clone, but easier to buy in Switzerland where I live) and it has the 8-speed Nexus gear hub. The trailer I have has the sort of hitch...
