Hi all,
Be gentle first post,
Title says it all really, my geared up pro connect goes up hill with reasonable effort at about 8mph, a 1 in 10 at about 7mph. I went for the bike for its climbing ability but I'm beginning to wonder if other bikes like Cytronex may be faster.
I went electric to help avoid the slow hill climb on narrow twisty and busy roads, I'm not that bothered about hi speed assist, so I'm thinking changing the gearing was not the best idea. Forgive me I'm a geek and I had to chip it.
Don't take this as a negative review, the bike is really good, its got me back cycling again where other bikes have failed, even with the cold and snow etc.
Been lurking for a while, thanks for all the info.
