    Can and should you ride an e-bike without a battery?

    Hi, I have tried the search but could not find this asked here. I am about to purchase an e-bike (thanks to all here for their advice) primarily for commuting to make the journey less knackering before the day has started. However, I also ride for leasure and will not always need battery...

    New bike with pics - thanks for the advice.

    Hi, would you be willing to recomend the place you got it from? They might do the manufacturer I'm interested in. Many thanks.

    I'd ideally like to buy locally and suport the local busineses, but wonder what a price that keeps the dealer and myself happy would be. As it's a 2017 bike is there likely to still be some leverage for the dealer to offer discount? Many thanks.

    Hi, nice bike! Did you get a £600 discount off a 2017 bike? That seems like a great deal and looking to get a bike myself so interested what would be a reasonable discount. Many thanks

    Thanks. It does appear confusing... well to me at least! The E-sub Sport 20 has 10 gears and the Bosch Performance 250w with 500wh battery. The E-sub Sport 10 has 10 gears and the Bosch Performance CX 250w System with 500wh battery. The 20 is cheaper than the 10 by approx £200 or so. Main...

    Thanks - looking at the sizing diagram shows a wide range for the large (it can presumably adjust over a wide range) and the XL sizing area picking up from the top of the large. I think I would be much happier on the XL so will try this first. Confused a bit of the difference between the SCOTT...

    Thanks for feedback. For the sizing would it be the xtra large or large that's closest to a touring bike 58cm frame? I'm finding the sizing chart a bit confusing and it's a special order in so don't want to waste time with the large (which could be appear right) if I need the xtra large. I...

    Hi, I guess the question could also be what is the main benefit of the Bosch Performance CX 250w system with 500wh battery over the Bosch Active 250w system with 400wh battery. Many thanks,

    Kalkhoff Integrale

    Thanks again to all who have provided valuable advice and input. It does appear that the Integrale is a bit of a risk with the high cost and issues with the motor being enough to make me rethink. I like the look of the Giant Quick E+ which appears to be the same design ethos as the Integrale...

    Thanks. The issues with the motor drive system - is this for the Impulse 2.0 or the Impulse Evo? Just wish to make sure that the drive on the Integrale is not being tarred with the same brush as the Impulse 2.0. The Integrale appears to have the Impulse Evo and can find no details about...

    Kalkhoff Integrale

    Hello, thanks again for all the advice. I have found the following Giant which appears to be an equivilent to the Integrale (well close-ish) https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bikes/series/quick.e/28542/ Battery not quite as large (11ah vs 17ah) but I wonder if this is so important...

    Kalkhoff Integrale

    Hello, Thank you for the advise and guidance. As an alternative to the Integrale what would be the recommendation to look at? I like the all-in-design of the integrale and it does appear as though Kalkhoff have a resonable reputation regarding quality of materials used (motors aside). I'm...

    Kalkhoff Integrale

    Hello, I am interested in the Kalkhoff Integrale range. Does anybody have experience of these (I have searched but getting a complete review seems hard)? I am also somewhat concerned that the inframe battery will be hard to source (or expensive) in a few years time when it needs replacing. I...
