I bumped into a guy with a new Kalkhoff S10 with 18Ah battery, same run as me on a pro connect LX 250w 10Ah battery but with less range, he mostly uses no assist except on the hills and was dissapointed with the range. Very fast though, I'll suggest he reduces the drive sprocket to 11 tooth to...

Interestingly listed as having 27 Gears and Disk brakes at an original list price of £2500? Mine which is same model and looks identical was bought new from 50 Cycles at the list price of £1800, it has hydraulic rim brakes and 9 gears!! But having covered 6,500 miles in the last two years...

I think this probably depends on the type of drive, hub or crank and the terrain. I have a derailleur Panasonic crank drive and it is great particularly for changing down when hill climbing, no hesitations and smooth changes, but when it is wet and dirt gets on the chain, the idler or drive...

Hi Gerry, How do you find the impulse compares to the Proconnect? I have been using a Proconnect for commute now for 2 years covering 6,000 virtually trouble free miles. I like the idea of the idler free drive train, as it is the gears and idlers (derailleur) that are the only blight of my...

Interestingly I remember Yamaha crank motor pedelecs being on sale in the UK many years ago, two models a mountain bike type and a road going one. I was very tempted but at £700 and this would be about 11-15 years ago or thereabouts just too expensive. They were used by the Yorkshire...

HI, Overlander, I read your earlier posts when I posted about my crank problem, I have two Panasonic pedelecs, a Pro Connect LX and a Technium which is an Agguta step through clone made by Derby Cycles as is the Kalkhoff. The LX is the 2010 model and the Technium 2009 model. the difference...

Update Thanks to Flecc and others for your replies. To keep you updated further to Tim's reply and confirmation that this play is not normal, I was contacted by one of the directors of 50 cycles to advise this was not normal and that they were arranging to collect the bike and fit a new motor...

Thanks for the response, The pedals are tight on the crank it is a visible movement left to right of the crank you can see the shaft move in and out and if you push it makes a metallic clunk. I am particularly concerned about the disassembly and apparent re lubrication of the sealed bearings...

I recently purchased a new Kalkhoff Pro Connect LX from 50cycles, I noticed that randomly it would develop a light metallic clunk when the left hand pedal reached the bottom of its travel, once this starts it is there for the rest of the journey. I looked closely to see if anything was loose...

Cold Storage of Batteries Hi All, I read sometime back that lithium batteries have a finite life due to oxidisation, this process being reduced at lower temperatures. The optimum storage condition being 40% charge and low temp if storing for any time. My question is would keeping the...
