From the experience of you guys, I'll not prejudge the (theoretical) bikes tyres until I've tried it.

I'm looking for people's thoughts on the cube bikes too.

Thanks Fleck, what a lot of broken Kalkhoff motors...

Thats interesting, I'm guessing that it negatively effected the battery life due to energy wasted shooting up that connection.

Thanks for the heads up about the China issue, hadn't though how that would affect me at all! I've not rode one yet, but am thinking that identifying the motor/battery/range to meet my wildest dreams, then narrowing down onto the models that have that combination is how I'm going to find a bike...

Any thoughts? Came across this article https://www.50cycles.com/blog/kalkhoff-impulse-and-bosch-electric-bike-comparison/ Which is firmly on the side of Kalkhoff, but it is from 3 years ago. I know Kalkhoff use their own motors and Bosch as they see fit for the bike but... Is there a winner...

Thanks guys. I'd got the impression that it was a comfort thing, but the point about breaking is a valid one. When I eventually male my mine up and get a bike I will have a play around and see what works for me. (I'm not adverse to padded shorts) Currently I'm riding skinny tyres on a racing...

Hi I'm just wondering if you can fit narrower tyres on an ebike as lots of the ones I've seen all have very substantial tyres. On my normal bike, I've reduced Tyre drag by putting narrower tyres on. Does this work for ebike? Less drag =more mileage per charge? Cheers

Hi folks, Looking forward to finding someideas and info for buying my first ebike. Distance tourer & commuter. And I have some why do they do that? Questions... Always been a cyclist, but nothing serious. now hoping to have some longer journeys with and trips away.

Trying to work this forum...
