    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    It is for those who like to go a little quicker because eventualy the manufacturers will be forced by law to produce tamper proof motors.

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    Everyone who i meet when out cycling only want to know about the speed of the bike and if it has been derestricted.The e-bikes that i have seen in my area had all been tuned up.

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    There would be a hell of a lot less e-bikes sold in the UK if derestriction was not possible.

    Haibike return policy

    Bosch CX is the class leader at the moment,i have tried them all at their max perfotmance and what does it for me with the Bosch is the faster you go the better it performs against the others that seem to ramp down or tail off sooner with the power. The impulse Kalkhoff motor was more powerful...

    Pear tune

    Yes i have a badass box that divides the speed by 3 so if you are doing 20km-h on the console the real speed is 60km-h,fastest i`ve been to on the flat is 23 km-h real speed 69 km-h but i`m spinning the top 120 inch gear like crazy.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I`ve no doubt that Kalkhoff will get right back on track with the impulse motor and it will become the one to have because when mine was right it was very powerful and made the Bosch CX feel weak in comparison.Also Kalkhoff offer large capacity batteries and now i have the 500wh battery with the...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    When i had my last motor change it must have had the latest software because it felt muted compared to when the last one was running well.As well as this it wasn`t surging anymore after going over sharp bumps as it previously did. My first impulse motor failed with a loud cracking plastic noise...

    Insulting Message from 50 Cycles

    When i was looking to get into e-bikes in 2011 the Kalkhoff pro connect panasonic S series was easily the best i could find and because of this i was a customer of 50 cycles for five years and i`ve always found them friendly and helpful. The impulse motor has been a disaster and i like many...

    Removing the limit from your LEVO

    There was someone in the S class section offering to do it for money who must have had a tool to hack into the Brose motor,only Specialized dealers are supposed to have them.

    Removing the limit from your LEVO

    Don`t think you`ll find many people on here with them because they are mega expensive,the few that are on here have already had it done.

    is an eBike lazy?

    Throttle only could be descibed as lazy unless there is a health reason but otherwise for the same effort level as a normal bike you just go faster more easily.

    Do the cops care about illegal eBikes?

    It seems incredible that a high profile accident hasn`t happened yet involving an illegal derestricted or S class. The constabulary may start to pay attention if it ever one does because i would say there are quite a few people riding them in the uk.

    Full carbon E-Bike thoughts?

    On a road racing bike with no motor it all depends on the engine sat on the saddle (heart,lungs and legs),weight and fancy wheels make little difference within reason.I have been in first cat road races were riders have won on sub £1k bikes. One time someone was on the line on a bike that looked...
