He seems not to be looking further than this Hallomotor site.......

Bit of a Freudian slip there. But a lot of people from outside of the UK think London is Britain, and it isn’t of course. In fact it really is another country.

I’d be moaning if they were legal and one of them knocked me over on a pavement. Some of the old folk on mobility scooters are bad enough. Talk about Hell’s Grannies.

First time I’ve seen the show for many years. Even then I fast forwarded through it to the bit where the e bikes were shown and if I’d blinked I’d have missed them. It looked like a cheapo version of Top Gear without the sneers and casual racism to me. I thought the show was supposed to be about...

Not much use on a written forum like this though....

Didn’t reflect well on their service but I think he hammers his bikes off road and some are not really meant for it. They just have the looks.

Yes I changed the chains before the rest. I had quite expensive Campag groupsets and chains were a lot cheaper to replace. I can understand why some people advocate running it all longer and wearing it all out together on commuter bikes. But with expensive road parts it’s best to change chains...

I remember asking a bloke on the street in southern India many years ago if he could direct me to the Monarch Hotel. I pronounced it in the usual English way and repeated it several times but he just could not understand me. Finally in exasperation he said in his heavily accented Indian English...

Lots of sites online that sell oven spares. Most of the stuff is interchangeable across the ranges. Beko has several brands in its stable as do the other makes, and most of the main wear parts will fit all the stoves.

But the motor isn’t working on its own, you are putting your power in too. So that can easily add up to way over 137Nms. I can’t remember now how may miles my road bike chains lasted but I replaced them every season mostly, and the expensive parts either side lasted a lot longer that way. But...

I was going to suggest you think of the BB. It’s always recommended here and has the power and the throttle. The Kalkhoff is torque sensor CD of course but I think the Woosh Krieger is speed sensor. It would need you to cut the motor manually to change too. Which is no big deal but the hub motor...

You could try eBay. They often have vintage leather sprung saddles for sale. The old delivery bike ones can be very wide.

No you wouldn’t be incorrect. All these manufactures claim wildly inaccurate range based on you doing all the work in flat terrain. You have to think in terms of watt hours per mile. Your battery has about 370 wh in it. So at 10 watt hours per mile it would give 37 miles. Depending on how fast...

I’ve had a Woosh and now have a Kalkhoff. The Woosh was a CD Sport with the less powerful motor than the one you’re looking at. For the money it was a perfectly good bike but it wasn’t a patch on the Kalkhoff. Not in build quality or finish, or the quality of its parts. Not surprising given the...

Get a Brooks or Spa leather saddle. The Spa one is cheaper but just as good. I’ve had both and use a Spa now.

For such a high wattage motor and such a heavy bike it only claims 55Nm of torque. Rigid alloy forks to shake your wrists off too.

It’s not really for the same kind of rider though. It’s for the dedicated recreational roadie who’s still almost got the legs but is getting on a bit and needs a bit of help now and then.

But be reborn like Lazarus you hope. Is this one of the generation of motors which they replace automatically because of its design fault?

I may be wrong but I think you said that you haven’t ridden any e bikes at all? Doing a paper exercise like this not a good way to buy anything. Certainly not a car or a motorbike or an electric bike. Not even a non powered bike if it comes to that. The way the components are chosen and put...

Perhaps a torque sensor bike might suit you better. Although the bike you tried may have been set to max assist and that can be turned down.
