The top end model, the Pro Connect S, is simply a blast to ride. On the flats, I could get the bike up to 24 MPH without feeling like I was totally exerting myself. Climbing steep pitches in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill was a joy, with the motor kicking in to propel me over the top. Overall, I’m impressed. Read the full review here Mark McClusky - Wired.com
Top 3 things I love about my Kalkhoff: #3. Getting up hills without having a cardiac arrest. #2. Blazing past road biker chicks. #1. Staying on my husband's wheel no matter where he takes me! Liz, Visalia, CA.
I love the freedom of riding my bike anywhere. The steepest hill is easy to climb, which expands my biking world. I bike to the grocery store, the local pub, the pharmacy, and to run errands in areas I would have driven before. Delight! – Steve, Portland, Oregon,
My new Kalkhoff Pro Connect Sport allows me to commute more often...(22 miles one way). I am pleased to say 10 amp hours is ample power to make the ride fun and fast, cutting my commute time from 100 minutes to less than 70 minutes regardless of headwind. I bought a second charger (one for home and one for work) and am now commuting 3 days/wk vs. 1/wk. before since I’m not so tired from 44 miles of riding. The Kalkhoff makes everything seem closer! - Mark, Denver, CO.
Purchased the Pro Connect Sport and am very pleased. The people at Kalkhoff USA were very good to work with and always responded promptly to any questions I had. The bike exceeds expectations and puts a grin on your face (fast and fun). The handlebar grips are very comfortable, the Shimano XT drive train effortless, the brakes are very solid, and the motor is quiet and smooth. The guys down at the local bike shop as well as a friend that owns the Trek “Lance Armstrong” carbon fiber bike, have all been impressed with the quality of components and design. I use the bike for commuting and pleasure. Been pleased with the battery life and very much agree with the design of having the power of the motor go through the bikes gears, as opposed to hub motors. This sport still has the feel of a bike and won’t leave you stranded if the battery dies. Great product, good design, and I hope to see more of them on the road. P.S. If you want to ride for a workout, just leave the motor off and turn in back on when you’ve had enough. - Tom, Omaha, Nebraska
