^^ good grief ... that one might actually reach 15W or so with enough juice.

Those shoddy KTMs eh ? Honestly ... :rolleyes: :p

Got a feeling you've picked a better option ... and surely it's a bit lo-brow for you being at the lower end of the range ? :)

Not sure what system you have on your Agattu (how old ?) If it's the Impulse try updating the software - you shouldn't need to get up off the saddle in any conditions really with this. However you do need some chunkier 29er tyres on those rims to be more capable on rougher ground. Otherwise...

The owner used to shop at Waitrose .... before spanking out for the bike that is !

I only have 2 because I go closer to "civilization" for work purposes to keep myself in bread and gruel (after tax) for days (sometimes weeks) at a time and in the absence of a car, one lives there. So it's one per dwelling. I'm on a mission to get a car again by Xmas and that means the...

So what is the peak current then ? We'd really need to know this to be able to hazard any sort of 'positional view' for the bike.

How do you figure that one ? Fully charged battery = 42V. At 16Amps the maximum power that can deliver is 42 x 16 = 672W. For sustained very steep hills you need a system capable of sustaining peak output for several minutes. Which means running considerably higher amps. You can substantiate...

The perceived refinement of the Bosch-type systems are entirely a function of the controller/torque sensor operation which you either like or you don't. I'm not that convinced about the refinement of any of those systems mechanically. It's a style of riding where the harder you work the more...

A full-on battle only commences when someone mentions the words "Kalkhoff" and "Endeavour" in the same post - and omits to include the word "ILLEGAL" in CAPS.

The 16Amps admission at nominal 37V has (regrettably) blown hopes of credibility as to this system's power clean out of the water. What a shame - still hoping for the day when battery tech will advance to the stage it can be compacted so as deliver better performance than what we have on the...

Quite a few of the European bikes come stated as "37V" too - same difference. Of course the price tag is ridiculous - but then just look at the latest Moustache 37.5 thing, not to mention the grossly overpriced Grace offerings with dodgy belt drive arrays etc etc. It's the first on the market...

I don't think so, especially as it only has a 37V battery. If the motor is wound fast enough to give meaningful assistance at 26mph on 'throttle only' the realistic torque is going to be very limited. When I tried one it was not much more powerful than my 250W Impulse.

Goodness knows how they've done that but it's amazing. Range will be short if you use it at 600W continuous though !! Have to agree that it most likely kicks all overpriced German hardtails into touch. Perfect off-road design too (except the throttle-only). Now they just need to bring it out in...

Hook up with jackhandy and try his bikes. I'm pretty sure you'll sort something decent out :). It sounds like TNT are still shipping them from actual reports on here so it isn't over yet. Plus you can still buy decent kits from China and source a battery here if push comes to shove...

Good to know ! :D :o

Thanks - the battery only powers the electric start because it is a petrol mower that can be started with pull-cord also. However, since it needs to be stopped to properly clear the bag when (perpetually !) wet grass blocks it every pass this will be used a lot, probably more often than it can...

Well, if you will run 58V and 1500W ! ... :p - are you still only getting a 22-24mph 'on the flat' cruise out of it for all that LiPo ?

Doesn't Big Brother have our every move in cities on CCTV though ... along with recording all our phone calls / texts and reading all our e-mails ?

Thanks all. I don't have the original battery any more but was longer and thinner. The Lucas ones linked above are almost the exact same dimensions as the 'official' replacement (amazon info is wrong :rolleyes:) but the Lucas ones have the advantage of being 1/3 the price :cool:. I've had...
