It's not solely the pound/euro exchange rate - prices of all bikes, pedelec and non-pedelec, from Kalkhoff and most other manufacturers shot up this year due to higher component and production costs - up to a 20% hike in some cases. Also, the Agattu and Pro Connect come with upgraded gears in 2009, which adds a little too.

We do our best to keep the prices lower for UK customers and still offer significant savings, compared to dealers in mainland Europe.

I used to buy the odd bike on ebay to tart up and flog but have noticed that even wrecks are going for good money these days. A sign of folks trying to make economies I guess. Good luck with the new range, I hope they are as popular as last years.

Yes - most definitely a good deal. I'm one very happy purchaser, and I know John is getting very excited about tomorrow.

I just wish the snow would melt now (but we've more on the way instead). The snow started about 20 mins before we made it back home last Sunday and hasn't gone yet. My wife still hasn't been out for a ride on it as the cycle paths around here are totally unusable for now.

I was planning to buy another ProConnect in July to use as a back-up. I like the bike but I can't justify paying the new price.
I'm quite happy with the gears so don't see why I have to pay more for 'better' gears.
A loyalty discount would be a good idea :D

We still have a few of the 2008 Pro Connects £200 cheaper than the 2009 ones. A very few now. And then there's the interest free credit option of course.

The gear upgrade (the Pro Connect 2009 comes with the Alfine hub, the 2009 Agattus with 8 rather than 7 speed hubs) accounts for only a small percentage of the price increase, it's mainly the strong euro and manufacturer price hikes.

I hope he's bringing his own ice tyres tomorrow if he wants a spin round the block:D :D

The snow was a novelty for a bit and i've spent three days working from home. Fed up with it now and itching to start the spring fitness offensive.
