What was the final cost of the build including the labour,quite high i presume.

Cube in particular are good value for money and KTM with their off road heritage says it all realy. The Bosch CX motor is probably the one to go for at the moment and paired up with the 500wh battery it is a formidable combination.Buying local as well if possible is also prudent.

Great choice but haibike can be expensive,have a look at the KTM and Cube range as well if possible.

What are you test riding ?

Have a look at hybrid models from Cube or Ktm and go for the Bosch CX motor with the 500wh battery and fit slick tyres such as schwalbe kojak 700 x 35,a mtb hardtail will suit as well with 29er wheels that are 700c compatible. You will then have a fairly lightweight fast rolling bike with great...

Have a look at the Bultaco Brinco it could be just what you are looking for.

From the bikes i`ve ridden i would say the latest model Yamaha motor is almost silent,i couldn`t hear it on the Giant road E+.

Cube have realy come on in design over the last few years and now are up there with the best.Unfortunately prices have also risen this year by over ten percent. I have the Cube carbon hybrid race CX 500wh and it is ace,just wish the battery was bigger.

There are a lot of great e-bikes out there,if you are looking for crank drive motors then Bosch,Yamaha,Shimano and Panasonic all have a great reputation for reliability and performance.

There have been quite a few ``problems`` documented on this forum from members with the motor that the kalkhoff uses so caution is advised. I have had three fail on two different models.

The legal status of the e-bike experts will be along soon and explain it all.

The fact that it can be switched over to 2000w mode makes it very illegal.

The motor that the the bike uses should be the main priority,so look for models using Bosch,Yamaha and Shimano as these are the most reliable and have high performance.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but even so you would have to be blind not to see that the Smart ebike is horrendously ugly and cheap looking.

I would give 50 cycles a ring because even though you are out of warranty they may help you out because the failure you describe is known by the manufacturer.

Spare parts for the impulse motor are not available, the only way to rectify is either a new motor circa £600 or maybe a used one (very rarely) on the online auctions. What happened to your motor is a common fault and fails on almost all of the motors if used as intended and sometimes even at...

Lets hope they are more reliable because kalkhoffs are always expensive.

He says he has a lot of supporters on here,is he serious or pulling our legs ?

When i bought my first Kalkhoff in 2011 i thought it was fantastic as it was reliable and never failed after thousands of miles.I then bought another in 2012 and had that for three enjoyable years covering over 30,000 miles on the same PANASONIC motor. Then in 2015 i bought a Kalkhoff/Focus...

I have the 2016 Cube C-62 carbon hybrid 500 with the Bosch CX motor and 500wh battery. A great bike and a motor that has a lot of power and reliability as i use it every day in deristricted form around 30 miles or so. The only advice i can give is get the 500wh battery if possible and buy as...
