    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Because it refers to 2.2 I'm not sure if some of this relates to a hardware upgrade or it all just relates to the original 2 Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I was one of the first people to post about problems with my impulse 2 motor on my Pro-Connect 10. I even took a video of the problem and shared it with 50 Cycles. Based on the obvious evidence they replaced the motor about 18 months ago without question. The only problem it was the same model...

    There is another chat thread dedicated to the problems with the motor, presume it's the same one. I also posted a couple of YouTube videos recording the problem Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    It is. But still only use it on Eco. Actually I tend to use it most of the time with no power at all, one of the reasons I bought this model - i.e. it is well geared and goes well as an ordinary bike Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Very enlightening. I had my motor replaced last year. No mention was made of the known fault so I hope my replacement motor is the developed one. I have only been using it in Eco due to my concerns. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I am one of the people that has rep VBorted my motor failure in my Pro Connect 10. The engine was replaced after approx 1000 miles and I have done 800 on the new motor. So far no problems although I have to say I am very careful in terms of loading the motor and never go out of Eco. In fact on...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I think most of the owners (including myself) have been very reasonable and objective. My motor failure and 50 cycles ultimately replaced it. I shared the fact that the Pro Connect 10 is a quality bike let down by a motor that seems to have a relatively high failure rate. This isn't 50 cycles...

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    Don't quite understand the points here. Under approx 15mph you will get one of three levels of assistance (mine is a Pro Connect 10). Once you hit approx 15mph the assist switches off. This feels like resistance but it's actually the assistance from the motor disappearing. Sent from my Nexus 9...

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    I have put a number of posts up about my experiences of motor failure. I also posted videos on YouTube taken with my phone recording the noise issue. 50Cycles ultimately replaced the motor free of charge. I now only ride in Eco mode as I'm convinced there is an issue with this motor. Can I...
