    Selling a used ebike isn't easy!

    I thought that I would easily sell my 12 month old Proconnect Disc when I retired recently but even though there have been hundreds of views in the classifieds on this website I haven't had a single reply. At £1250 ovno it seems a bargain to me. How should I calculate its value? Are there any...

    ProConnect Disc problem again

    Last July there was a lot of discussion on this Forum about noisy and slipping sprockets on the ProConnect Disc. A temporary solution was to use a cable tie on the rear arm tensioner. The solution seemed to be a larger motor sprocket and chain wheel and that worked for me. The parts were...

    ProConnect Battery Housing

    I have had to have a look at the battery housing on my PC Disc this afternoon as the battery is rattling quite badly. The bike is only 7 months old. There doesn't seem to be any adjustment on the lock. I wonder if this has happened because the battery is bigger and heavier. There appear to be...

    Chain was coming off

    The chain on my PC Disc kept coming off the rear sprocket this afternoon. I noticed that the arm that guides the chain was loose and had sideways movement. I tightened the screw on this arm using an allen key and it seems alright now. Is that all that is required or should it be at a...

    Tyre Blow out

    Going home at teatime I was surprised by a bang from the rear wheel as I went round a mini roundabout. The rear tyre was completely flat in seconds and I was riding along on the rim. I hadn't expected anything like this on my new ProConnect Disc as it is fitted with the state of the art...

    Cyclists and mobile phones

    I was cycling home this afternoon when I heard a voice behind me. It was a cyclist talking on his mobile phone. He passed me still cycling with one hand holding his phone to his ear and as we approached a junction where it had a stop sign he just went straight out. A woman motorist had to slow...

    I don't believe it!

    I've had problems over the past 12 months with loose rear wheel spokes on my July 2008 ProConnect. I wrote to Derby Cycles in Germany but never got a reply. 50C showed some initial interest and asked to see my letter but nothing came back. Replacement spokes were the next thing and 50C said...

    Top Gear and Clarkson

    I watched Top Gear last night and Clarkson commented on cyclists using video cameras. One thing he said was that motorists pay for the roads by Road Tax. Now I am sure I read something in the past that stated Tax Payers are the ones who foot the bill for the roads which would mean that most...

    Panasonic Battery Charger

    I have had an intermittent problem from the start with the battery charger I got with my ProConnect two and a half years ago. When I took the battery off the bike and put it on the charger sometimes it wouldn't start. At first I replaced the fuse in the plug. It worked, but then a few days...

    New Bike

    I am about to order a new ebike to take over from my July 2008 Pro Connect. I like the look of the New 2011 Kalkhoff Pro Connect Disc C8 but I am a bit concerned about having hydraulic brakes. Is there much maintenance to these? I guess they will be better for the wheel rims as they...
