I just joined this thread, personally, as I have been among the numerous Kalkhoff bike owners in France who have been suffering from this problem. One goal of this thread is indeed to identify the level of frustration, share experiences and why not, team up and go to court. Regardless of all...

Totally hear you...

Scott, I would rather you did not make such derogatory comments... You probably did not read my messages, or not all of them. I have owned a Kalkhoff speed bike (Endeavour Premium S11) for 6 months and it failed me consistently from day 1 or so: not only did the speed transition fail regularly...

yep. indeed.

You need to elaborate. I have listened (again) to that video and confirm to you this is nothing more than an advertorial. what did you mean by "15th word"???

Unfortunately that video covers very little about the bike and its possible flaws. Besides, it is not in motion (unlike the excellent ElectricBikeReview.com blog and youtube channel). This is really more like an advertorial, if you think of it, considering the ones shooting the video are also...

Please, no advertising here. and since most of us are really unhappy with Focus/Kalkhoff Impulse engines, there is no need to post a video of one of these bikes, unless the OEM can prove all issues have been fixed, but so far they have been mum....

I read it this way too (note: Bluesmart connected lugggage offers the same service for free too - this is going through the international roaming offer from Telefonica for B2B clients). Yes, it is possible. Bike companies need to be disrupted here. Still way too traditional (especially now that...

Thanks. well noted about the Motus (I will check it out). as for the kindle, the 3g roaming was not international but US only (on verizon or else) if I remember. I am not sure about the European versions but unlikely.

I think it is inevitable that Bosch-based bikes will get larger capacity in the upcoming collections. 700 kWh would make it on par and actually greater than Kalkhoff. About time

Thanks Rob, very useful. I will definitely do a test ride. I am quite baffled that engine / diplay vendors have not worked out proper theft solutions. Stromer did not invent anything but seems like the first one to have implemented some of these solutions. In the case of the stromer theft...

bought the bike in Octobre 2016 and received it in Novembre 2016. Found out about the problem rapidly and had the engine changed in Decembre (I did not ask for the engine to be swapped, it is the reseller who suggested this solution, and I agreed). Problem did not go away. I sent the bike back...

add me on this one too. Kalkhoff Endeavor Premium S11 (Speed). less than 100 km into use (perhaps the 2nd or 3rd time I used it), the engine started cracking at low speed. I had the engine replaced, to no avail. The bike has now been sent back to the reseller. Awaiting financial settlement...
