Thanks again Flecc...maybe the Agattu would have been a better choice then :eek: I'll get in touch with Kinetics and let you know what happens. Cheers.

Thanks Keith...glad I can still have them laughing in the aisles :D Anyway, that's what Forums are for, aren't they - share advice, potentially at the expense of a bit of ****-take?! :cool: I'll get my lardy arse over to Evans then!!

But what's the going rate? I clicked on the Cycle Guard insurance link on this site and was quoted about £15 a month for my Pro Connect. How does this compare? Not sure I need £1,000,000 liability though. Can't think how I could rack that up, but it was minimum liability.

Good idea burncycle. Must admit, I thought my arse was lardy enough to provide its own padding on the saddle, but even with the extra gel pad I've added, it's not lardy enough!! ;) Along with Fleccs solution I've got no excuse now not to lose some of that lard then!! :eek: Cheers.

Thanks flecc - your genius continues to amaze me!! This does indeed look like the perfect solution. I wasn't aware such a thing existed. I'll see if my local bike shop can supply and fit one for me. Re. Agattu...mmm, on reflection you may be right, but I was under the impression that the Pro...

Hi Burncycle Yeah, I've fitted Marathon + too, though forgot to change the tubes :( So - where can I get an adapter for this 'Woods' valve. I haven't had to pump up the tyres yet. I agree - if you're going to spend this sort of money on a bike it's worth the extra upgrades. (Not sure the wife...

Please don't let my thread put you off Poppy - as you can see, I simply haven't read the manual, but after such a long wait...and I'm an impatient sod anyway. :D I followed "Dr Flecc's" invaluable advice from Day 1 and really couldn't thank him more - you're in very safe hands there. IMHO the...

Still having the time of my life on my new Pro Connect, but have had a small problem a couple of times when trying to turn on the power (while pedalling). For instance, this morning I was trying to struggle up Wimbledon Hill unassisted, but finally had to admit defeat and switch to electric...

Sorry - I know there are other posts like this - but felt I had to share my joy with my new Pro Connect! First off though - thanks Flecc - you were so right!! So, got her on Wednesday and did a half trip into work to try her out on Thursday. I didn't want to overdo it on the first day...

Da Da Da Da Daaaaa IS TODAY THE DAY?? :rolleyes: NEWS BREAKING AT 50CYCLES HQ YESTERDAY THAT A LORRY WAS DUE TO ARRIVE TODAY WITH SOME PRO-CONNECT 57'S ON BOARD...THEY THINK. THEY'LL CALL AND LET ME KNOW. I'M SURE THEY ONCE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER 1000 ORDERS FOR THE PRO CONNECT...

In defence of 50cycles Not that I'm best pleased with 50cycles at the moment - after a 6 month wait for my bike :( - but while talking to them the other day, yet again, they did explain that the £100 is what they are charged by the Cycle To Work organisation, which is in fact a commercial...

Like many on this forum I've been waiting for months for a Pro Connect, though originally I was waiting for an Ezee Forza. Having swapped my choice to the Pro Connect - because there was no sign of the Forza ;) - I only latterly realised the difference between an ebike and a pedelec, so am now...

Over the Forza?? :confused:

Agattu test drive OK - have just been to test drive the Agattu in Richmond Park with Tim from 50cycles. Did I miss the throttle? Well, you could certainly feel the pedal-assist kick-in with the Agattu the minute you moved the pedal. I took off at quite a lick along a relatively flat road and...

In my thread yesterday (Forza vs Agattu) I raised the issue of the Agattu not having a throttle control, which I particularly liked when I test rode the Forza. As the Forza is no longer available, could someone recommend a good throttle bike as close to the Forza as possible. Would the Wisper...

Thanks Tony. Being the lazy sod that I can be, I think I prefer the Forza option, where I at least have the option to switch into 'moped mode' should I need to. A gruelling day in the office isn't ideally followed by a gruelling ride back home. Anyway, looking forward to trying the Agattu...

Help (again!) For various reasons I've recently had to change my order with 50cycles from a Forza to an Agattu (via a Pro Connect!). For some reason I hadn't appreciated that the Agattu was so different in the way it provides power. I particularly liked the throttle aspect on the Forza. Call...

You can tell I'm new at all this, can't you Harry!! :( So, what does the dynamo do if the ProTec doesn't have one? :confused:

OK - so apart from the gay handlebars :rolleyes: - which can be changed - the missing gear (and gear issues) and the couple of kilos in weight, there is very little difference between the Agattu and the ProTec? When I compare the two together in this picture though, is that the motor on the...

Ha - girly was the word that sprung to my mind!! :D Now that I've put my finger on it, I'll have a closer look at the specs as comfort will of course be important to me. What do you mean though 7 speed failures? Sounds a bit alarming :eek:
