Probably only on the Tasman, John. Which has nexus 8 andva chain

Spot on Kenny, couldn't have put it any better myself, and with the recent purchase I am in a position to compare and contrast (my favourite question in exam papers!).

I agree John, the powder coat finishes are superior, and I hate the plastic decals. Not sure it is all costs pressures from the competition. I have the view that some developments, e.g belt drives, automatic gears, pauses to drive when gear changing, are merely a method to a). Just a...

Repost from Kalkhoff battery thread, probably more appropriate here... I have to say that I am becoming a but less impressed with Kalkhoff bikes lately, having been a keen advocate of some excellent bikes. We bought a Tasman recently as a reserve for y wife's ProConnect when it gets beyond it's...

I have to say that I am becoming a but less impressed with Kalkhoff bikes lately, having been a keen advocate of some excellent bikes. We bought a Tasman recently as a reserve for y wife's ProConnect when it gets beyond it's time (hopeful a good while yet). Our original Panasonic motored bikes...

M Meant to add No, cut out still occurs as before because it is the speed, as measured by the rear wheel sensor that controls the motor inout. On the non impulse bikes it was by the crank input, which meant that changing sprockets gave you a higher limit on the assist speed. There are threads...

Agree, even my wife thinks the gearing is low. It is compounded by not only a 21T rear sprocket, but a 38T chainring. The older bikes, non Impulse bikes, had 41t chainrings, which with a 21T or even 23T rear, gave her a comfortable gearing. So, just done changed the rear sprocket myself on my...

I'd only suggest that i cannot see male cyclists patiently holding back behind a lorry, especially seeing young women going up the inside. If they are not getting killed in a proportionate manner, male cyclists must be getting beyond the lorry driver's blind spot and in front of the lorry. The...

Flecc has posted here such statistics before, and quite recently this year after earlier female deaths. I completely agree with Flecc that it is political correctness that inhibits the media from highlighting the fact. Until women either stop going down the inside of stopped lorries and ending...

It's just the access hole to one of the screws that keeps the casing together

Was this a replacement battery for one you had trouble with burn on the negative terminal after 6 weeks, or the loan battery they were going to supply?. Seems a few teething issues with these batteries! My wife's is only an 11amp, Osho has a 17A I think

One thing I hate is any 'feeling' or 'roughness' in the chain set. Like everything to glide along whilst cycling. Also hate rattles etc. Regularly use dry lube on all chains. Never trust gauges, prefer to rely on feel thru' the chainring. As soon as it feels lumpy, it's time to change. Note the...

Thanks for getting an answer. Longitudinal depends upon viewing perspective. I take it, that looking into the compartment from the side, this means it moves back/forth not side to side.

Thanks One_Box, look forward to a definitive answer re battery contacts.

Thanks for your reply. Spoke to Charles at 50cycles Shoreham, as you said it looks like a trip from Bournemouth to Shoreham to have a software fix. The error on my wife's equates to the difference between a 26 and 28" wheel. Why on earth that cannot be sorted out by proper Quality Control at...

Thanks for review One_Box. Both my wife's new Tasman, and Osho (see his post) have signs of arcing on the negative terminal. Can you tell us how the fault manifested itself, were you getting cutting out. We just seem to have signs of arcing at the moment, but is that the precursor for a more...

osho Ckeck out one-box's post below, he's had to have a battery replacement due to. -ve terminal problem . We need to watch this one closely. 2015 Kalkoff Tasman Impulse 8 HS 17Ah low step 46cm frame

Hi Osho (Peter), Looks like arcing on the negative terminal. Checked my wife's new Tasman, which hasn't done that much in mileage, only 176 miles and not all of that assisted, and hers also has similar arcing marks on the -ve terminal. She is still using her old ProConnect on which she's...

Whilst out cycling yesterday saw some really neat recycling. An old, uncared for, telephone box brought back to life as a book exchange and with an area map with useful local information. It is located at the crossroads at Furzley in the New Forest and all done by the local community.There are a...
