    Real Bicycle Bells

    The Crane or Basil bells offer a few usage modes. - 3 loud pings for old persons or playing kids - 2 medium pings for mothers with babys It works very well @Ocsid ! But driver of cars or trucks cannot hear the bell - somethimes this makes me really crazy.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    The current failures in the Pedelecmonitor: - most failures are clacking noise with not properly working pawls - one is noise with heavy vibrations at 1.600km (motor production date was end of 2016) I have the same opinion like @flecc --> warranty issue. It's a well ... very well known problem.

    How long do you expect an ebike to last before needing replacement?

    Good Question @bikey850 ! As a commuter with 45km and 500m alt. difference per day I expect 4 years and 30.000km. The costs for Bus&Train would be 1.200 Euro per year - so it can be replaced every 3-4 years. I'm looking for real long term reviews of your bikes with more than 10.000km. Who can...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    was it a complete new one? I had the same probs after a few kilometers with a repaired one, they changed the cranks and gears but kept the same housing.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I agree, a bit, a little bit. I hope also that the problems are solved. I must admit, I read in forums very often about biker and their failures of the 2015 and 2016 motors. Meanwhile it's getting calmer with the improved 2017 motors. Of course, there are still some failing units, like you can...
