Reviews from Kalkhoff Pro Connect S owners

Kalkhoff Pro Connect S'Even better than the hype!'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect S by Ian in Kingston-upon-Thames
26 November 2009

Cycled in this morning: cut half an hour off my commute time (cycling pretty hard). Absolutely adore the bike: arrived at work bursting with happiness! Averaged over 15mph. Thanks hugely it really does seem to be a wonderful piece of kit – dare I say it, even better than the hype!! Very satisfied customer

'Quite a revelation. An amazing piece of kit.'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect S by Adrian in High Wycombe
10 December 2009

Just thought I'd drop you a line... The bike arrived and I have to say it has surpassed my expectations. Given that my local terrain is, as you well know, somewhat hilly, I was very surprised on tackling Marlow Hill in High Wycombe for the first time to achieve between 7 - 9mph with very little effort. Compared to my paltry 3.5mph on my normal bike this was quite a revelation. An amazing piece of kit.

'Build quality is excellent and components from handlebar grips to lights, etc. are top quality'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect S by John in Bucks
13 July 2009

Probably the best e-bike I have owned or ridden. My previous and current bikes include Giant Lafree, Ezee Torq, Ezee Quando, Ezee Forza, Wisper 905se, Cytronex Trek, Kalkhoff Agattu.

The closest comparable bike is the Agattu, but the 'S' is lighter and noticeably quicker off the mark, particularly in the highest power setting. 150% as compared to the 130% of the Agattu. Top assisted speed is in the region of 21 mph, but it is quite difficult to give an accurate figure, at 20 mph and above there is considerable wind noise, the quiet motor is inaudible and pedalling on the flat at up 29 mph, I can not not tell when power cuts in or out.

The proven Panasonic drive and battery is a major plus point, as my original Agattu has remained problem free in this respect for 20 months. It is lightweight in comparison to most other e-bikes with only a couple of others weighing in less than the 'S'.

The Shimano Deore XT gears gears are well matched to the bike and the gear change is very light, smooth and positive. In my opinion the Magura HS11 rim brakes are perfect, requiring little or no adjustment unlike cable operated barkes.

So far I have achieved 25 miles on high power and yet to find the maximum range on the other settings. I had not expected it to be quite so comfortable to ride, but the front suspension, slightly stiffer than the Agattu on the softest setting, cushions against shocks quite adequately and the remote 'lock out' allows the rider choose the setting on the move. The saddle is quite comfortable without a suspension seatpost. Overall the build quality of the bike is excellent and the components from handlebar grips to lights etc., are top quality.

'Staggered by how good the Pro Connect S is'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect S owner
14 July 2009

I loved my Agattu but this is lighter, with a more natural riding position and a lot quicker turning/weaving in traffic. Agattu commute time across London (serious traffic and minor hills) was around 35mins and is now about 25mins. I'm a fair bit heavier than other reviewers but speeds and battery range are similar to theirs. I liked the hub gears on the Agattu but the derailleur is very smooth with a good range and the triggers are ok. I don't have too much call for the highest power mode but it's fun to have occasionally. Magura brakes are superb.

'The difference is stunning'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect S owner
13 July 2009

I was impressed with the Kalkhoff Proconnect S e-bike immediately I took it out of the box. It was easy to adjust the handle bars, seat and fit the pedals... The Pro Connect S is very well engineered and came supplied with everything that I needed as standard. I was particularly pleased that the bike did not look too different from my Raleigh P4000 and without the battery it weighed exactly the same.

I can only compare the performance of the Pro Connect S against my Raleigh P4000, but the difference is stunning. The average commute time has shortened from 28 minutes to less than 19 minutes for a 4.2 mile one way trip. (The same commute by car takes between 20 minutes and 1 hour depending on traffic).

*UPDATE 18 August*

Today was the first attempt to compare the performance of the Pro Connect S with that of my old Raleigh P4000 on a commute run. With the realisation that I had forgotten to install the battery pack , I decided to keep on going just to see the difference.

I was surprised that I completed the 4.2 mile outward run in 24 minutes, 2.5 minutes faster than my best recorded time on the Raleigh P4000 (under some motor assistance my normal commute time is approx. 19 minutes).

On the homeward leg the ProConnect S completed the journey in just under 21 minutes, this was 4 minutes faster than my best recorded time on the P4000.

The Pro Connect S performs extremely well without power. With power it is noticeably better and no sweat.

The Pro Connect S is available to test ride at our main premises in Loughborough and in London, as well as several other locations around the UK.
