    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    There is now a different software being used in replacement motors and it makes them sluggish and less responsive plus the motor cuts out on harsh bumps.

If you want one i will say that they are powerful as i had mine up to 48mph on the flat with 3`` maxxis slicks fitted,you get a lot of bike for the money and...
