    How are 25.5 volt pedelecs restricted

    First place you need to look is Flecc's excellent Panasonic info site http://www.flecc.co.uk/p/panindex.html . One of the unused plugs (think it's the triple wire one) is for the walk assist button to plug into, which provides assistance at walking speed of up to 4mph.

    Raleigh Dover [panasonoc mark 2 crank drive] failed while riding along and now Controller refuse to light.

    Do you cycle in rain? I have had trouble with the controller on one of my panasonic controllers on similar Kalkhoff bikes. The problem was water ingress when out in rain, with the controller going dead. Fortunately, It dried out and now we always cover the controller when it starts raining, with...

    Pro golla in Germany have proved very useful for me. Have bought controller for Panasonic motor from them and will be using them for specific Kalkhoff/Panasonic now 50cycles have all but disowned the bikes. Not surprising given the Impulse motor fiasco. On my wife's bike I've had trouble with...

    Bike cover for when on towball rack

    Agree with stumpy140. Waste of time trying to cover. I had a cover specially made for two bikes on a Thule towbar rack. Was made of the material used for boat covers. Two disadvantages, billowed like mad, the drag on the car noticeable, and the road grime in the wet just got up underneath. I...

    can you use comfort bar ends with a bar end mirror?

    You can get larger ergon bar ends than the G2 cow horn size. This is the G5 Not cheap but I love the cow horn ones. The 'stopper' on the end allows the mirror mounting to slide inside the handlebar tube. I use Zefal mirrors, easy to flip out of the way and adjust. Like you, My wife and I do not...

    can you use comfort bar ends with a bar end mirror?

    Depends on what type of comfort ends. I have ones easily fitted to Ergon grips, even the ones with 'cow horns'

    WANTED Panasonic Powered Step-Through Bike (Kalkhoff Raleigh etc)

    I think my Kalkhoff Pro Connect is Knackered.

    On the Panasonic drives, the connector blocks are tucked away inside a tube in the motor casing behind the black cover. The sum total of waterproofing, is the plastic bag/tube they are taped up in. Had to get in there years ago to add plug in a walk assist button. Not wanting to tempt fate as...

    I think my Kalkhoff Pro Connect is Knackered.

    Glad to hear it dried out and works again, good to keep the best of Kalkhoffs on the road. Just keep a freezer bag and elastic band handy if rain threatens if it was the controller, and not coz the battery was out of the bike in the rain.
