Hi
This is the most amazing maths sounds like you choose the right bike for you, I hope mine will save me as much money. If I was fitter I would have gone for the Proconnect.
It is so good to see the real figures of what these bikes save people and that some people are making there money back in only 6 months.
Not only is this economical but before my ice accident I had lost over 6 Kg of weight in only 2 months. Cannot wait to get back on me bike.
Thx
Bob

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 my pleasure use of the car with my family (we all carnt get on the bike!).
Here are the figures.....
Spent before bike = £828.47
Spent after bike = £309.57.
The average spend on petrol before bike was 138.08 per month.
The average since the bike is now £51.60 per month.
The Average save by using the bike is £86.48 per month.
I've saved £518.90 in 6 months and im 10Ibs lighter and a lot fitter.
Yearly spend before the bike was £1656.94.
Yearly spend should now be £619.14
Yearly saving from now on should be £1037.80
The Pro Connect will have payed for its self in 16 months.
I hope this helps anyone when deciding if these bikes are cost effective enough.
PS you have to ride it to work EVERY day though!!!
Oh, and Sheffield has some of the cheapest petrol in the UK, so you're results could be even better !
Regards Bob.
