The crank drive obviously transfers a fair bit of power through the cogs but probably no more than a strong Club rider does. As for the gear change, it's no different from an unpowered bike. Just make sure you ease off the pressure through the pedals while shifting and it's very smooth.

Agreed, Though I had hoped that the higher capacity battery would be LiFePO4. That said I've not noticed any deterioration of my year old ProConnect S battery so if the prices are reasonable I'll certainly be buying one. Almost doubling the distance you can travel on these bikes is a great...

Great looking cycling area. Prefer your cytronex to the Synapse model. Not as sleek but much more versatile I'd imagine. Do the carbon forks give a reasonable ride on those type of tracks?

Having ordered from Stagonset twice, I'll second Harry's suggestion. They've a terrific range and your able to order as small a quantity as you like. Changing over to Stainless Steel Dome Head screws etc. definitely makes the bike look a bit classier.

[QUOTE=Wisper Bikes; Whilst there we agreed the extra few £ to upgrade from Alivio to Deor, quite frankly you can't tell the difference but the name looks good. :) Not wanting to take sides but I have to agree with this comment. My Marin mtb uses Alivio, my Scott Sportster Deore...

The specification states Nexus 8 speed and the brakes etc. all look good so these bikes really do seem a real bargain.

Great video, it's back to winter here so a trip to the seaside is just the tonic.:)

Could you add me too please, PA16 Pro Connect S

So Mussels says 45-50 and Flecc says 50-55 :confused: so what's best? Theres only one way to find out.........fiiiiiiiiiiiight :D (Harry Hill)

I'm 50, now where do I vote? 45-50 or 50-55 :o

Although I've only ridden one electric bike, it's given me so much pleasure I have to vote for my Pro Connect S. I still use a non electric bike when out cycling with friends riding normal bikes but almost always use the Pro Connect S when cycling on my own. I've been to many places you just...

Love reading the posts on your bike journeys Bob. Your entertaining descriptions and stunning pictures are a real tonic.

Thanks for the heads up Harry. Snapped it up, now all I need is another battery and I'll be ready for my ultimate cycle trip - Le jog.

Congratulations Jerry, with current prices I recon you got a good buy. I was also watching it on ebay and was almost tempted myself as no one bid till the final few minutes. My Pro Connect S is a top bike but the cytronex bikes have always appealed to me as well. If there are any cytronex...

Like John I think it's very sad to see the Torq Radical in such a poor state. All the guessing as to what your Torq Project was going to be kept me amused for weeks on the forum and the finished bike had everyone drooling. I hope some enthusiast does get it and restore it to the sleek...

Hadn't thought fully of the implications of fitting the xtracycle to the rear wheeled motor Wisper and was really just giving my opinion on the Xtracycle itself. I agree with Flecc that the wiring could cause a problem. Also fitting the xtracycle increases the wheelbase of the bike by 15...

Don't know how difficult it would be to fit an xtracycle to the Wisper but it was fairly straightforward to fit to my non-electric hybrid. I've been using mine for over 2 years for short shopping trips mainly and it's cut my car use significantly. I've 4 bikes including a Pro-Connect S, but I...

Good to read the reviews from Dianamic and John. With John's experience of most of the other popular electric bikes available it's good to see he rates the the ProConnect S as possibly the pick of the bunch, fully justifying my choice. My reason for choosing this bike over the also well...

Cheers Barnowl Completed my 3rd battery conditioning discharge this morning. Did 25 miles on full power setting on mainly flat roads and a couple of small hills. Still very impressed with the bike. It's very good on busy roads, which I usually avoid, because you are not far off the pace of...
