    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    We supply both kinds of electric bike to retailers all over the UK, so are completely unbiased on this subject. In fact it is in our interest to sell the more expensive crank drive models. The truth of the matter is that crank drives have some advantages over hub drives and hub drives have...

    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    Yes do try before you buy. A decent hub motor bike has advantages and disadvantages when compared to a crank drive machine. Hub drives also do what they are supposed to do, make cycling easy! All the best David

    Hill climbing with throttle kalkhoff alternative

    Not sure what the etiquette is here? Maybe I am overstepping the mark? The new Wisper Torque series of bikes work in a very similar way to the more expensive German models splicing information from the sensors and producing a very natural riding experience. They also have the unique twin...

    Looking at a wisper 905se

    Hi Tiggy, I am really delighted you like your new Wisper, thanks for you business! To answer your questions. For the bike to be legal in the UK you have to be turning the pedals for the throttle to operate over 4mph. As long as the pedals are turning forward the throttle can be used to...

    Hi Dave, if you want to do a JV on holding another Presteigne type event I would certainly be up for it. Do you remember the Presteigne slogan? "Tour de Presteigne, like the Tour de France, but without the performance enhancing drugs." All the best David

    Failed on my first big hill

    Yep! :) Well mine did! Do you remember the anger? Decided to drop it in the end, it has since been adopted by at least two other UK manufacturers who OEM in Asia.

    Looking at a wisper 905se

    Hi Tiggy, Welcome to the forum! Delighted to read you are considering a Wisper! Where will you be test riding it? We can do a no charge change and supply with front suspension forks, the saving I make not supplying the new Wisper light weight blades and replacing them with the basic Top Gun...

    Good luck Dave (Kudos) I don't envy you at all! The humidity is awful. Not at the Shanghai Show this year I need to go in June and don't want to do the trip twice! I've always been very flattered that people actually copied the frame we designed nearly ten years ago, they were never quite as...

    Hello young Dave, nice to hear from you! Thanks for stirring this up again!! :) The best bet of course is the bike he chose. A legal bike with a torque sensor, and a pretty well unique extra, to be able to turn off the torque sensor and run on speed sensor alone. All the best, David

    That's why we have changed our policy. As long as the bike is being sold by one of our stockists and they have serviced and confirmed that the bike is is good condition we will transfer the warranty to the second buyer. All the best David

    Your bike is amazing Croxden, IMO the best of the best. I would certainly love to ride a full suspension RM Delite Rohloff with all the goodies, but I have budget limitations! Best regards David
