Hi there, Just to let you know I've placed FULL a review of the Pro Connect on my Blog Site. I've not submitted this review in the usual forum site because I feel it would be considerbly edited/censored via this forum. As I have always said from many moons ago, I feel this site has major...

Hi all, I've just crunched the numbers on 6 months of petrol receipts. I listed all my petrol use 6 months before I got my Kalkhoff Pro Connect (Dec 2007 to June 2008). Then all my petrol use since I started commuting to work on my bike (June 2008 to Dec 2008). The petrol use also includes...

Just to let anyone know and for reference. Just got back from 50cycles after having my rear wheel replaced. Last week a spoke sheered off at the hub and the whole rear wheel then buckled. Took it in today and Lloyd did a fine job of replacing it for a 32 spoke wheel with an alfine hub. I...

For the first time tonight, the cold got to my Pro Connect. It was the coldest night ever so far on the way to work tonight. It must have been -2 or -3. I found that the battery or the motor was struggling a little to the norm. Hills that I go up in 4th needed 3rd gear. The battery was...

Has anyone changed out the fiited handlebars for straight handlebars on the Pro Connect? I wondered what it may look like. Does it suit? Pictures would be great.

I need to replace my rear brake blocks on my pro connect. I can see they are Shimano Deore XT M770 V-Brakes. What do I ask for in the bike shop? Hope anyone can help. Regards Bob.

Another problem, though small with my Pro Connect today. Heard a loud clicking sound coming from the bike around the motor for the last few days. I had time to look at it today and found the retaining bolt to the chain tensioner was hanging off. It had worked itself nearly off. Thank God the...

I've booked Center Parc's and wondered if anyone has taken their ebike with them. Heard a few bad stories about bike being stolen and poor bike security. Any advise and info on the resorts facilities for bikes in general also would be helpful. Thanks Bob.

Has anyone been getting this mag? Is it any good? Velo Vision

Just to warn all Pro-Connect owners that i feel you should replace a part on the bike ASAP before it lets you down when you least need it. On monday i finished my commute to work and readjusted my seat alittle. When tightening the seat clamp, the bolt on the seat clamp sheared off through...

Just found this video of a cycling vest which shows your current speed on the back. Watch the numbers fly on a de-ristricted Torq. Speedo + Vest = Speedvest! PS also the site it's on is great. Regards Bob.

Just though Id post this BBC article. BBC NEWS | England | Cambridgeshire | Bicycle deliveries make comeback Please note the woman is on an Ebike. Anyone know which it is?

I have continued to observe in the forum, the poor and cold responses regarding the non-electrical questions. If you place questions regarding a good set of panniers for your Torq, or a nice pair of cycling shorts, you get very, very little in response. Ask about motors and batteries and you...

Hi all, Just though i'd add a product review for ebike commuters. Sealskinz Waterproof socks. After 10 weeks of wet socks on my commute I bought some waterproof socks. Got them from Go Outdoors at a good price. Sealskinz Ultra Light Waterproof Socks - £18.00 - from GO Outdoors.co.uk...

Just though I'd post my fuel comparisons for the last 8 weeks since owning my Pro-Connect. This will hopefully inform any potential owners who are thinking of getting an ebike to save on buying fuel and helpful information to others. BACKGROUND. I used to use my car for all journeys both...
