Kalkhoff 2010 electric bike availability

Kalkhoff 2010 Electric Bikes

2010 Kalkhoff electric bike production is in full swing. The factory has already produced a variety of bikes from our 2010 order, which means many are now ready for delivery to UK customers, months earlier than was possible last year.

We have the entire Pro Connect LX 9-speed range (now keenly priced at £1795 with suspension, hydraulic brakes, Deore LX gears), Pro Connect Alfines, Tasmans, Pro Connect S XTs, some Agattus & Agattu XXLs ready to ship. Check our site for availability on each model - some are in stock now for immediate delivery, others will take a few days to arrive from Germany.

Certain models will only be available in very small numbers - the Tasmans, Agattu XXL and Pro Connect LX - so we'd recommend ordering in the next few weeks to ensure you can have the model you want. The all-new Sahel models are due for production later this year, we'll let you know as soon as we have confirmation.

0844 be gone! You can now call us free of charge on 0800 0288 116

We know a lot of people are put off by 0844 numbers, as it's not always clear what the charges are. Our old 0844 number charged at around 4 pence per minute. To make things simpler, we now have an 0800 number for sales and enquiries. Our new freephone number is 0800 0288 116

Kalkhoff Pro Connect S DualDrive and Pro Connect Deore LX electric bikes, plus other news

We nearly missed how good it is - the Kalkhoff Pro Connect
9 speed Deore LX


We've really not made enough noise about one of the most interesting models to join Kalkhoff's 2010 line-up - the new Pro Connect 9-speed Deore LX.


In truth, we didn't spot its potential at first and have only ordered relatively small numbers this year, which is unfortunate as it has all the makings of an absolute classic.


Much like its big brother the Pro Connect S Deore XT, Kalkhoff have built on the established Pro Connect Alfine's lean and responsive design by adding Magura hydraulic rim brakes, suspension forks and 9-speed derailleur gearing.This last feature actually makes it a little less expensive for Kalkhoff to build than the Alfine version.


So we're very keen to have some out on the roads and to hear what owners think of them. Which means we're able to offer this model, initially to subscribers only and until numbers dwindle, at a price of £1,845 (website price £1,995) using code pcs9g150. That's an extra gear and nice springy forks, yet less expense than the regular £1,895 2010 Pro Connect. Very tempting indeed.


Our production lists show that the Pro Connect 9-speed Deore LX is already available in good numbers, so your pre order will benefit from a short lead time on this occasion.

Model of the month II

Pro Connect S DualDrive



Kalkhoff Pro Connect S 27-speed SRAM DualDrive

We should also mention that a second version of the exciting Pro Connect S is available for the first time this year. It has all the performance of the Deore XT version, possibly more, but with SRAM's 27-speed DualDrive II gearing system. This combines a 9-speed derailleur with a 3-speed hub.


Only available in very small numbers from this Spring. Early pre-orders are advised so that we can reserve some for our customers.


NukeLight & Winkku offer

Nukelight

The Nukelight is going to be one of our most popular 50cycles products in 2010. We're very keen to have more of them lighting up the nations roads right now so we've slashed the price from £48.95 to £39.95. Nukelight it's a beam come true.


We're also selling the Winkku for £25, down from £29.95. Go get 'em.


Further reductionsZero MX

We've shaved a further £100 off the Tasmans in our sale. Fully kitted out with hydraulic brakes, 8-speed hub, lights, built-in wheel lock,fully enclosed chainguard - these are very tasty electric bikes, tough enough to take out of town for rides in the wild (a couple were used to mark out a Pennine run last Spring!).


We also have a few 2009 Pro Connect S 60cm and Pro Connect Alfines in three gents sizes on offer. Once they're gone, they're gone and it will be 2010 prices all the way.
