"The reinforced Agattu XXL can withstand quite a load. The test winner of 2010 is ideal for cyclists of all shapes and sizes, and is still rated one of the best touring bikes in 2011." So reads ExtraEnergy's test verdict of Kalkhoff's ultra robust pedelec. The Agattu XXL is specially designed for heavy loads. So it is perfect for all plus-sized pedelec fans or those who want to transport heavy loads. Testers note that they searched in vain for drawbacks to the Pedelec. Instead, they were left with no choice but to highlight its many outstanding features, for example the long range on touring routes and in urban traffic, the powerful assistance on tours, high load capability, the direct motor activation by power sensor and subtle cut-off at the threshold value.

A total of 36 electric bikes were tested. Three of those in the Tour Pedelec group were rated as "Very Good".

The entire test is published in Issue 4 (Autumn 2011) of the ExtraEnergy magazine, which is also available to download at www.extraenergy.org.
