Been around e Bikes for a long time now, what a truly fabulous, useful and generally wonderful vehicle. I did just over 10,000 miles on my Kalkhoff Aggatu before selling it, and today cleared 5000 miles on my Cube Reaction Pro 500 fitted with a Bosch CX motor. Outside of routine maintenance NO...

Back in April 2010 i decided i wanted to cycle again, but i was overweight seriously unfit, and was really interested in the idea of an E - Bike. So i bought a Tonaro Bighit, really nice bike, but after having a go on a Panasonic powered Kalkhoff Agattu, i sold the Tonaro and bought a Kalkhoff...

We have 2 kalkhoff Agattus that are now 6.5 years old, i am thinking of either 1 Replacing the batteries with an Ebay battery like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-8Ah-25-2V-E-bike-Li-ion-Battery-For-Panasonic-/162588219532?hash=item25db03588c:g:e8YAAOSwa~hZZdtk 2 Recell our existing...

Just completed a 50 mile ride on my non electric bike tonite. What i noticed immediately is on the flat not much difference, downhill not much difference, but the hills !!!!!. If the hills are gentle and even long, it is not so bad you just get into a groove, but when they are steep, the...

Well, today i ordered a 2017 Cube Reaction Hybrid HPA 500 Pro ( That rolls off the tongue easily) in the grey and blue colour collecting next Friday, this has the Bosch Performance Line CX Motor. I bought the bike from Adam the manager of Hargroves Cycles in Fareham, Really lovely guy to deal...

I have been away from this forum for quite a few years. We bought 2 Kalkhoff Agattu in May 2011 and since then we have covered over 10,000 miles on one bike and about 8500 miles on the other bike without any real problems apart from routine maintenance. Chains, Sprockets, Tyres and Brakes The...

I have been away from this forum for quite a few years. We bought 2 Kalkhoff Agattu in May 2011 and since then we have covered close to 10,000 miles without any real problems apart from routine maintenance. The 18Ah Batteries are still original, and do not seem to have lost much capacity and...

I have not been on the pedelecs forum for quite a while. My wife and i still have our Kalkhoff Aggatus with the 18ah batteries fitted. They have now both rolled over 5000 miles on our catseyes cycle computers, and in reality probably closer to 6000 miles, as we fitted the cycle computers later...

I love my electric bike which is a Kalkhoff 8 speed Aggatu but i also love motorcycles, and i have just bought a Kawasaki ZX12R which is 175Hp or 131Kw. This and the Suzuki Hayabusa are the two most powerful standard road motorcycles that have ever been built. 194mph top speed and 0-100 in 4...

I am now selling mny Tonaro Bighit, all the details are in the classifieds section, it is a good bargain as it is only a few months old. The only reason that i am selling is because we have 3 electric bikes between the 2 of us !!!! and i have just bought a campervan, so raising some money...

I am selling my Tonaro Bighit which has only covered about 300 miles so the condition is as new, it was only bought in April 2011. I have fitted a Specialised expedition seat, so it is now mega comfy, included in the sale will be the standard saddle as well, It also has a bike lock and cycle...

Yesterday the 1st of June will go down in my personal annals of history as a day of infamy. I am self employed have been all of my life, and yesterday i got hit with every problem in the book, and simultaneously it was truly hell. Anyway i get home about 7pm, and my wife said go for a ride on...

My Kalkhoff Aggatu arrived on Thursday, so i built it up on Thursday night and i had a long weekend already booked. I live in Hampshire so i got my Goldeneye cycle map out and i have done 302 miles over the last 4 days !!!!! In medium and low power settings i can get 70 to 80 miles out of the...

I am trying to get my head around how the various systems work. Now my understanding is that with front or rear hub drive the motor is allways on at the various power level selected, and is started or stopped by either pedal movement or a throttle. With the Panasonic crank drive unit, the power...

Yesterday i completed 51.8 miles on my Tonaro Bighit, and the battery still had 1 green light showing, and that was at an average speed of 14.5mph, remember this is a heavy mountain bike running semi knobbly tyres, and on high assist the whole time !!!!! i think that is a superb range...

Recently my mind has been wandering and thinking about an ideal electric bike for long distance cycle touring, and these are my thoughts, i would really appreciate any input here. Assuming that Crank drive systems like the Panasonic seem to use about 8wh and hub drives about 12wh per mile...

I was just having a look at the Kudos website at Kudos Cycles :: e-bikes with style and i understand that they were shown at Presteign, i was not able to go, but i was wondering what people thought of the quality and the way they ride? the price looks good considering the specification. But what...

I took my Tonaro Bighit for a ride last night to see my Brother it is about a 30 mile trip in total. Anyway, i had a truly fantastic ride and was about 1 mile from home riding on a really good condition cycle path. I saw a Fox about 50 meters away crossing the road. My first thought was this is...
