    First Impressions: Wisper Eco, City, Alpino, A2B etc

    Hmm, there's no play whatsoever in any of the Kalkhoff's sitting here in the shop with me, even the 3-year-old Pro Connect that completes a punishing inner-city commute every day. :confused:

    First Impressions: Wisper Eco, City, Alpino, A2B etc

    This sounds very much like misinformation/sour grapes from a retailer that doesn't have a Panasonic powered bike in their range. I can think of a certain retailer who's made those claims before... Electric bike reliability issues often stem from systems where the drive train is strung out along...

I can't prove it was the same person supplying this bike though. Rest assured that we will only ever sell chargers to a registered...

    The sting in the tail

    A big bumble bee dinged off my bottom lip riding at speed about an hour ago... very close to inhaling the thing and having a real problem. Phew. Sorry to hear you were actually stung, well done for keeping just about in control.

    'New powertrain' neither hub nor drive-through

    Chinese version?! Is there any other? ;) Mate of mine just got back from a trip to Chongqing and Beijing. He was slackjawed at the number of electric bikes on the roads out there. And to think the authorities wanted to ban them all.
