    2015 FOCUS SPEED JARIFA XT 27.5,size medium.

    it is still here but i`m in two minds what to do with it,i am waiting for a integrale evo to come back after needing a fix so if that works out then i`ll have to sell the focus.

    Almost decided. Or have I?

    you can`t compare the impulse drive to the bosch because the impulse has more torque and power,i have the impulse and bosch performance both rated at S 350w however the impulse drive can climb hills two gears higher than the bosch when both are in the high power mode setting plus cruising on the...

    Kalkhoff vs KTM

    i do know one thing for sure,if you ride the impulse motor and the bosch motor you will pick the impulse because i have them both in speed tune and i hardly ride the bosch because it isn`t as fun to ride and is harder work plus the impulse battery goes further.

    Kalkhoff vs KTM

    I like the look of the KTM MACINA cx-5 because it has 29er wheels and the new bosch CX high torque motor plus a 500w battery and it would also make a good commuter with 700c slicks on,the best thing is to try to test ride as many as possible and find what suits you best.All the leading brands...

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    Kalkhoff will know from the motors sent back to them what is failing and there should be a recall,if you e-mail kalkhoff direct they will not answer unless you are a certified dealer and even they have problems getting answers from them.

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    In spring this year i was looking for a new bike with the impulse 2 motor and decided on the mtb style focus jarifa because i wanted the battery on the downtube and the bike was for road use only so slick tyres would be fitted.Prices were high in the uk for the speed model so i started looking...

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    I don`t think 50c would know why the motors are failing anyway because they are a sealed unit and are sent back to kalkhoff germany however one thing i do know is that 50c look after you if you have bought from them and anything goes wrong and like has already been said they sell a bike with a...

    Anyone Fancying a PUNT on the new Impulse Evo bike in 2016

    the pro connect S 2012 is a superb bike and tell your friend to keep hold of it,i have the bosch performance motor,the impulse 2 and the new evo and the 350 w 36v panasonic motor is faster than all of them,i did 30,000 km on mine and only had a few issues with a charger and a battery,the only...

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    What i think happened is that the panasonic motors were getting expensive so kalkhoff decided to design and build their own impulse motor chasing profit,i have owned the panasonic motor in the pro connect S 2011 and then a 2012 model and they both covered a lot of miles with no breakdowns...

    Looking to make my daily commute as easy as possible

    the urban doesn`t have the cx motor only the off road models i think but i could be wrong,mudguards can be fitted easily.

    Looking to make my daily commute as easy as possible

    The haibike urban 2015 model has a 400w battery and the 2016 has a 500w longer range battery by 25%,the two bikes are otherwise almost identical,i have the 400w battery and 25 miles one way on high power is possible but e-bike range and battery capacity is dependant on quite a few variables so...

    Looking to make my daily commute as easy as possible

    If you are determined to go ahead then a legal bike like the urban i talked about earlier with the bosch performance 250w motor will become a 350w S pedelec with a badass dongle that clips on in seconds over the speedo pickup,it can be removed just as easily and if anything happens you are on a...

    Looking to make my daily commute as easy as possible

    The Haibike URBAN would be a good choice because of the stealth look and performance but charging after one way would be the way to go,the urban is light for a e-bike and with a dongle fitted will top out at 50km/h,the sport setting on the power modes is plenty for high speed and the higher...

    Ebike to keep up with fast group

    The only bike manufacturer that still uses the panasonic 350w motor is the SWISS FLYER and they are very expensive and not available in the uk (i think).

    Ebike to keep up with fast group

    In reply to my previous post about riding with the chaingang yes the pro connect that was a 2012 model could keep up averaging 26 to 29mph but because of the gearing the cadence is very high,it was only a one off for me though because i didn`t want a spotlight on me riding a S class bike and i...

    Ebike to keep up with fast group

    A few years ago i turned up at the warrington RC tuesday night chaingang with a kalkhoff pro connect S with the 350w panasonic motor,the club is one of the top ones in the uk rankings so i knew it would be hard but once on the move i stayed well back and cruised round the 28 miles,i wasn`t felt...

    Haibike SDuro Faults

    i have a haibike urban with the bosch motor that is shutting down and displaying code 503 on the speedo,this is a error code relating to the speed sensor even though the magnet is correctly positioned and the speedo is working as it should,the bike is from germany so i will have to see what the...
