    Kalkhoff Tasman Pedelec electric bike - click to see high resolution image in new window - replacement for the Giant Lafree


    2008 Tasman Pedelec electric bike £1605 RRP £1495 50cycles introductory price
    The new Kalkhoff Tasman builds on the reputation of the Agattu with higher specification hydraulic brakes, 8-speed gears, rims and Axa Defender wheel lock. It uses a pedelec system, meaning the Panasonic motor senses when and how hard the pedals are being used. Your pedalling is converted into motor power which drives the rear wheel through the chain and gears. This makes for near silent operation, excellent hill climbing and the sensation of being bionically boosted. Sorry, 2008 season model sold out
