Kalkhoff Agattu, This pedal electric bike is at the revolutionary forefront of the pedelec class of bikes. Born and breed by a manufacturer where fine Germany engineering intertwines with the smooth comfort and sleek style of bicycling. Making the world a better place through the power of electricity and will of its rider, this bike is geared for the future, plus some.
Coming from the legendary heritage of the Kalkhoff Company, who has been producing bikes of exceptional quality and designs since 1919, the Kalkhoff Agattu is the top selling pedelec bike sold in Europe to date. Kalkhoff is not only distributed to Europe, its span reaches the distances by being distributed in forty countries worldwide.
During the March 2010 Taipei Cycle Show in Taiwan, the Kalkhoff Agattu XXL version took best in the Tour PedElec category. This was a feat demanding respect amongst the industry at a global scale.
Sporting a Shimano Nexus 8 speed internal gearbox to provide that seamless transition between gears and a boastful 250 watt PedElec motor, your riding experience is bound to be one to brag about. But that isn’t all this bike has to offer. Suspension forks make light weight of imperfections on your riding surface. A lightning fast re-charge rate between 3 to 6 hours on this Lithium-Ion 26 volt / 10 AH battery will provide you with an expected distance of 50 miles! Hills pose no problem as your speed can reach a stunning 20 Miles Per Hour on the up climb.
A hub generator produces the juice needed to light up your path during the night with an ultra bright LED front light. Activated by photocell sensor, the front light will activate when the lighting reaches dim levels. Some models may come with a halogen bulb, but a little more money invested into this dream bike will get you equipped with a top of the line LED lighting system.
Kalkhoff continues its legacy in style with this bike. Smooth lines combined with a classy and sophisticated style not only creates a lifestyle, it invents a culture. The ingenuity to keep fashion and smooth lines in mind includes the clever concept of routing cables through the frame as demanded by the most elite riders. The ability to easily monitor your working system is done through the Panasonic LED control console. There will be no guessing as to what this display reads!
Last but certainly not least. The seating position has only been a topic of praise as riders everywhere enjoy the comfortable upright position designed for ultimate comfort. This riding platform not only provides comfort during riding but another intended advantage of having the ability to see and be seen by others in heavy and light traffic. This ability is a must have for those serious riders who commute on their Kalkhoff Agattu on a daily basis. All in all this bike commands respect amongst its competition and deserves the recognition it receives from its riders.
