'It really is the best thing I have ever bought'
 'Performs amazingly'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Jane in Pembrokeshire
12 June 2008
I bought a Pro Connect from you a couple of weeks ago and just wanted to say how fantastic it is. I have been doing between 12 and 20 miles a day in the very hilly Pembrokeshire countryside. It performs amazingly and I now use it to go everywhere - in fact I have only used the car twice in the last three weeks and that was on essential trips.
I have been recommending it to everyone - the exercise and fitness benefits, enjoying the fresh air, avoiding all traffic congestion, saving on fuel bills and feeling ever so slightly smug as I go up vertical hills without having to get off. It really is the best thing I have ever bought.
'Truly exceptional saving on fuel costs'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Joe in Henley

I have had my ProConnect for about a month and am very pleased with its performance. Living on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, there are many testing gradients and the machine handles them all. The biggest impression it has made on me is the truly exceptional saving on fuel costs; the car stays at home other than for the longest runs.
'Can't belive how much easier hills are'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Christine in Chester Le Street

Just wanted to say how much I love my pro-connect bike! Received it last Friday - thanks for getting it to me so quickly by the way. It's a marvel. Cycling to and from work no bother. Can't believe how much easier hills are and it's no bother pedaling against the wind. I love it.
'Not only is it good for me, I also really enjoy the time I have cycling to and from work'.
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Geoff in Leeds

I live in Leeds and always wanted to cycle to work but was put off by the 24 mile distance and hills that make it a very difficult daily commute… that was until I took delivery of my Pro Connect in August 2008. For the past 2 months I have been commuting daily to work and have now covered more than 750 miles. Not only is it good for me but I also really enjoy the time I have cycling to and from work. I am also very pleased with the endurance of the bike. As my fitness has improved so has the endurance of the bike as I am now able to select the lowest power setting for most of my journey. I have managed 48 miles from a single charge and the battery was not fully discharged. Great bike.
'Everything I expected it would be and more'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Mark in Leek
10 August 2008
Well, 320 miles under my belt in all weather conditions (except snow) and the bike is everything I expected it would be and more. It has battled through strong winds and torrential rain that has managed to put off many of my colleagues that cycle to work.
The smoothness of the power assistance from a virtually silent motor is exceptional. I used the power assistance on high a lot of the time and climbed some exceptionally steep hills on my first ride, coming back down I hit 39mph and the bike was extremely stable, the handlebars are just the right width for feel and control with a very natural hand position. I am also averaging over 15mph, something unheard of on my mountain bike. I can see 50 miles could be possible on the flat but not on the hills that I have to negotiate so to be safe I am charging the battery after each trip.
'Sheer build quality is fantastic... Brilliant!!!'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Robert in Leyland, Lancs
27 June 2008
I have owned my Pro-Connect for a week now and am very impressed with it. The sheer build quality is fantastic. The paint finish is very good and the quality of the Shimano brakes, wheels and gears are top notch. The 8 speed rear hub gear has a very easy action and combined with the quickshift gear levers is impressive. The electric motor is very quiet and the power delivery is smooth and progressive.
No matter what the conditions, you can decide how much effort you want to put in. However, this is not an effort free ride and you still need to put some work into pedalling, but it is more of an easy turning of the pedals instead of a hard slog. This type of exercise is ideal to get fit and is also great for people with high blood pressure, etc as it exercises your heart and lungs without putting too much strain on your body. I've been doing 26 miles a day on the bike and the battery life is amazing as I have only been charging it every 2 days. I find that the fitter I have got, the less assistance I use so this may increase the range even more. Brilliant!!
 'This is the best electric bike... from couch potato to Tour de France pro instantly'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by Geoff in Chester
21 July 2008
Had been looking at other power cycles and even tried one however just knew I had to wait for the pro-connect. Took first ride to Chester a good 26 mile run it felt unbelievable (the kind of thing you dream of as a kid).
I went from a couch potato to a Tour-de-France pro instantly, absolutely brilliant!!! Cycled 26 miles in 1 hour 15 mins and that was with hills & head winds. I felt rather good on my return and "slept well that night". The overall quality and finish on the bike appears second to none and I'm truly convinced this is the best electric bike, "The Mercedes Of Bikes".
'A technology whose time has come'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by David in Bath
17 June 2008
Pro Connect received safely – thanks. All I can say really is "Wow...!!" (well I would say other things, but there are children in the house)...it is absolutely everything we had hoped it might be, but feared it might not be. It's handled every Bath hill that we've thrown at it so far and it looks superb.
Seriously, you can expect a flood of orders from Bath shortly – all our friends who have seen it have been astonished. With petrol prices hitting the roof, it's definitely a technology whose time has come. So, many thanks for your help – we're very impressed so far.
'10/10'
Kalkhoff Pro Connect by David in Wales

I am very impressed with this bike it looks fantastic (which makes you want to ride it). I would recommend you try one if you are considering a lengthy commute with hills. I am giving this a ten because it met everyone of the criteria for getting me to cycle to work every day.
