Pro Connect Wave Commuter E-Bike from Kalkhoff USA

The eight speed Pro Connect Pedelec is for busy people who want to stay fit. Its unique pedal-assist technology makes urban commutes fast and convenient, getting riders on their bikes more often. The Shimano Alfine internal gear hub gives you a smooth, quiet transition between gears and lets you shift at a stop for a quick start when the light turns green. A maintenance-free Panasonic motor converts each pedal revolution into added power, which means you cover more miles in less time. More mileage means more movement, and more movement means more exercise. The 2010 Pro Connect Wave is available in the wave or (step-through) frame style, common in European city bikes. This frame is popular with both men and women who want to avoid swinging their leg over the bike at each stop and start.

The bike is light enough to pedal without using the motor (if you are feeling healthy or the motor breaks down!).

In my experience the bike is a very reliable commuter bike which laughs at hills (and there are a few steep ones where I live). If you are wanting to substitute the car for work I reckon you couldn't get any better.
We would love to hear more impressions from Kalkhoff owners. Please send an email to info@kalkhoffusa.com.
