    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    The impulse 2 motor performs very well and has more power than the rivals plus the batteries are high range but sadly reliability leaves a lot to be desired.I am now on my second motor and in the meantime have been riding a bosch cx motored cube bike that feels weak compared to the impulse but...

    pedelecs banned from UK event...

    The problem is the front riders on their 7k carbon race bikes with aero wheels and helmets set off at full speed and treat it as a race.If someone on a speed pedelec was amongst them and caused or was involved in a pileup then the legal implications would be bad for the organiser and the pedelec...

    pedelecs banned from UK event...

    Kalkhoff maintenance schedule - unrealistic and expensive?

    The uk warranty from kalkhoff is not the same,i have owned four S model kalkhoffs since 2011 and have covered thousands of miles on them with no servicing at the dealer. I`ve had a few warranty claims and 50 cycles have always been very good at sorting issues out.

    Anyone experience abuse from non ebikers?

    When i started e-biking in 2011 on a kalkhoff pro connect the battery was bright silver on a black bike and very visible in front of the rear tyre on the seat tube so i did get a few bad cheating comments when overtaking mainly from road race club cycling riders.I now ride a cube hybrid where...

    should ktm bikes sell sclass bikes without proof of private land.

    The S pedelecs aren`t realy needed off road anyway because the average speeds are low due to the terrain,you can climb up the hills with good assistance (bosch CX) and fly down the other side gravity assisted.
