    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    ... So always take your bosch display away with you. It is light, small and 100 euro to replace .. and might help someone else (me perhaps) from having their entire bike nicked. It takes only a second to remove. Bosch supply a locking screw to make it harder to fit and remove but better just...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. Remainers and manufacturers in the rest of the EU will not have difficulty with that scenario provided. 1. The same technical standards are maintained. 2. The same legal framework is used to iron out the inevitable conflicts. And 3 workers unions don't block work from "slave labour" economies

    Ebike Newbie

    ... I would agree with that. I cannot comment on other crank drive motors but will assure you that the Bosch is very refined . The batteries are expensive compared with generic equivalents. And as been said in respect of a beer .. reassuringly expensive.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    .. I'm not in the pay of Bosch honestly .. but we must be realistic. The information provided on the post you are referring to did not give enough clues. The Bosch website does give a calculator so that one can estimate their range. You have to input weight, cycling habits , nature of terrain...

    HUB MOTOR CAPABILITY

    . Normally yes but the scenario produced by d8veh is also correct. If the voltage going into a motor is insufficient, it may not be rotating at its design speed . And is going slower. . this can also happen when the torque is insufficient for the load, this can , depending on the structure of...

    HUB MOTOR CAPABILITY

    There have been a number of postings on this topic and while not disagreeing with anything Woosh has said here is another take. An electric motor is just a conduit for converting electric energy into mechanical energy. The electric power going into the motor is the product of voltage and...

    I just bought an electric bike!!

    I assume that the bike rack is external and on the back of the motorhome. You do need to take the battery pack off and store it in the body of the van. This will reduce the weight by about 2 to 3 kgs. If the display is easy to remove .. the Bosch ones are simply click on, then it also should be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. thanks for the link. Question 1 has an interesting response where the Scots were 60 40 for independence... . Many of the other detailed questions allowed for ambiguous responses .. would a person who wanted independence agree with the proposition that brexit as more important than independence. ?

    Choosing the right bike! Which one?

    .. not much information to work with. Speed, dongled , wind , weight of passenger and luggage peddling or throttle only. Even the nature of the display does it display battery voltage , or current consumed or power consumed.
