    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Careful! You are condemning a product on hearsay alone. The fact that they were unwilling to alter their established practice in order to facilitate your particular requirement is proof only that they were not going to alter their established practice and nothing else, if even that. It would...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Of these two the Elly is a very close equivalent equipment bike as the Motus and at about the same price point. The first is about 50% more expensive.. However my point was more about a person saying this bike is not as powerful as...... Without giving the alternative. Any of the Bosch...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Likewise I understand that I would be eligible for a UK one on the basis my father and mother were born before the Treaty in 1922, however I will forgo this pleasure:-).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed.. nobody actually knows . However my opinion is that it will be bad for the UK and possibly as bad or worse for us. I would disagree with you about remaining in the Euro post 2008. But I suspect we would share agreement regarding bank bailout and the treatment we got from the European...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Well my Raleigh Motus is exactly at the 2k threshold, and in low gear is very pleasant for going up hill and it has the nominally less powerful active 2 motor. It's not a motorbike or scrambler, but it gets the job done with some little, not excessive effort. When anyone seeks to make...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ireland will not do well if brexit takes place. Any of the crumbs which might come from transfers of company offices will be small comfort

    Insulting Message from 50 Cycles

    .... The second part of the message relating to drink was certainly intended in jest, I accept, but might not be viewed as such by the company.

    Insulting Message from 50 Cycles

    It is dangerous to speculate on the motivation of the 50cycles authored message. I did scan it before it was removed. Some of these posts have suggested drunkenness, others impending financial meltdown for that company . These are libelous comments. Let the facts speak for themselves. ( or...

    Internet Question

    Hi d8veh ( made sure to get that right), What was it that you disagreed with Was it 1. That the other Dave lives in a mansion 2. That direct wiring is faster and more reliable. 3. That powerline data rates are dependent on separation 4. That they must be on the same phase and on the same side...

    What is the consumption of each motor wire?

    It does to a minor extent depend on the voltage supply from the battery. The three thick wires are part of what is called a three phase supply and each of these leads in turn acts as a source and a return for current . For a 36v battery driving a 250w load the total average current is about...

    Internet Question

    Hi we all don't live in mansions similar to Dave's description of his pile, but even smaller houses can have internet comms problems. If building extensions were done and or if aluminium foiled insulation .. is used in walls say kingspan type it will really scupper wifi signals. Regrettably...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is the obvious answer. The next question would be why have they formed that view and this will lead to the complicated scenarios.... The debate to be held could provide answers to that second question provided the opportunity is not squandered. If the leavers line is basically a "will of...
