yes, well I was duped into spending all my savings on this one before I knew about these issues, I took advice from this very forum before buying that bike, so I am stuck with it and I need to make the best of it. I cannot afford to buy a new bike but I can afford to replace the motor. So please...

Jimmy at BGA Re-working, just off the North Circular?

I have a chance to swap the burned-out motor from an Impulse 2 bike with this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Derby-Cycle-eBike-Impulse-Backpedal/dp/B07HJ839G9 , Derby Cycle eBike Motor Impulse 2.2 Backpedal Brake Impulse 2. I do not currently have such a motor in situ as I believe that back pedal...

When you press the off button, keep an eye on the display, it might flash up for about one second after the word "bye". I thought, from reading on this forum, that this was the software version, but mine still says C005, even though it's been updated, so I now have my doubts that it is the...

Hi Hannes, I know what you mean about power fade/engine atrophe. I used to have a Pro-Connect with a Panasonic motor. It had much better torque and no jerky on/off power issues like what we are both experiencing with these Impulse motors. I am going to get the sofware on my Impulse updated, I...

Hi Flecc, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. You are quite right, it is important to try very hard to be courteous, and I am glad to know you have been treated with due respect and care by 50cycles, and I hope you always will be.

Hi Flecc, I could, with a struggle, go to their showroom , it's a two hour train journey from Cambridge , and I could manage a small fee for the software upgrade, but I have not received a reply to my post to 50cycles regarding how to go about getting this upgrade. I think 50cycles needs to...

Well all I know is that I feel very sad that people have spent their money on something that wasn't what they thought it was, wasn't what was promised and people who ride bikes are usually decent people who care for the environment and maybe don't have enough money to run a car. Personally I...

Hello Joe, Sorry I had a blazing row with you on the phone when you rang me this morning about the clicking noise on my two and a half year old Tasman Impulse 2, and the word "pedal" appearing on the console screen. Although on the phone you stated in no uncertain terms that I would have to pay...

Thank you Tillson, I agree, I think I will get a set of those, they look good for going in the woods.

B+M is short for Busch & Muller, a company in Germany that specialises in bicycle lights.

Thank you so much again. I am muchly saddened to know that these lights are utterly inadequate. I will think about getting a hub fitted, eventually, when I have recovered from the extreme cost of the actual bike! I will definitely have to get brighter lights as I have to use a lot of unlit...

Thank you for the reply. The lights are really extremely dim in a very not-right way! But I would still be interested in replacing them, do you have any recommendation, at the very least about what lumens to look for? I do not think new lights will solve the problem, but if I get more powerful...

I bought a used Pro Connect. It's lovely, but the elderly person I bought it from hadn't been able to use it much due to health problems and had kept it stored up for a long time. Luckily the battery survived somehow, but had gone into a coma. So I wonder if anyone knows whether this would be...
