No matter what your needs, the Sahel Pro Disc is just as at home in the urban jungle as it is in the countryside. It incorporates a stylish rolling frame that hides away untidy cables and an adjustable handlebar stem that helps you find the optimum seating position. The 8-speed
Shimano Nexus hub gear allows you to accelerate at a sporty pace and the Pedelec drive gives an extra boost with every turn of the pedals. Do your work-out en route.

Reviews from Sahel Pro Disc Owners

This week I had an opportunity to take the Sahel Pro for a long ride for the first time.

Kalkhoff introduced the Sahel range this season because… actually, I’m not sure why, but I can say why it’s great fun to ride.

First thing you notice when sitting on the Sahel Pro is how the very posh-looking saddle moves down and back a little. Hmm, that feels rather good, you think, and you’re not even moving yet. It really makes sense when you encounter your first pothole.

The usual ‘Gdunk-UNGH!’ sensation is missing. It’s more of a ‘GDunk-aah’ as both the initial bump and the brief deceleration from slowing down on impact are damped by an ingenious two-way spring mechanism supporting the seat. It’s quite unlike other suspension seatposts I’ve tried and makes the Sahel Pro a memorably comfortable ride. Generously yielding, expensive-feeling hand grips help mop up any vibration from the front wheel. The overall effect is magnificent.

As do the balloon tyres. They’re awesomely chunky and contribute a lot towards the Sahel Pro’s macho looks. Along with its brooding, dark, matt olive paintjob, twin disk brakes and wafer-thin composite mudguards, it looks like no other electric bike in the Kalkhoff range.

So there you go, racing down the road in a great deal of comfort, looking very good indeed. But where best to ride it?

Well, my first ride was a brief tour of the streets surrounding our new electric bike shop in Richmond. Very hill in parts, particularly Nightingale Lane, it tackled all available gradients with ease in high power mode in the middle gears. Unusually for Kalkhoff, the Sahels come with 26-inch wheels, so they’re not the best bikes for long-distance, high speed commutes through well-surfaced roads. Where the Sahel Pro feels best is on trails and tracks, parkland and open countryside. It looks like it wouldn’t mind getting dirty.

Like all the 2010 range, it packs the new spec 250 Watt Panasonic motor which provides extra assistance in the high power mode, the superb Alfine 8-speed hub and a great set of lights. Come and take it for a spin at either our newly-opened Richmond shop in London or at our premises in Loughborough, Leics.
