First opinion
Bike is a Kalkhoff Aggu Pedelec 7G delivered.9.30 today,everything seemed to check out ok. Battery had three lights showing out of 5. According to 50 cycles check list battery had been charged and bike road tested in all modes.
I put the battery back on charge..took 2.5 hours (aapprox) to bring up all 5 lights..gave it another hour, as
""I presume 5th led would show at 80% charge""
LIKE SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS.
Test ride was to Rame head along coast path down into Cawsand (nearly 0 meters at water edge) then up to headland (115 meters elev) roads total switch back (we dont have an awefull lot of flat here) round distance 24klms
battery half light came on( 40% to 70%) half hour before end of journey. time was about 2.5 hours including stops. average speed 16.9 km
cycling time 1.2hrs
(max speed 56.8 ((bit stupid ))
Hours break, feeling bit tired but euphoric, tried another ride but 4 kms out consol lights started blinking..turned round but battery out. When I tried a bit of power up hill found I hadn't tightened stem enough . finished pushing bike up last hill,god it's heavy.
This is all a bit subjective, not like Fs careful evaluation (which is what sold me on this bike in the first place)
If this post is of intrest I will try to do it again in the correct forum (I think there is one called wots yer bike like)
