    Hi Mike, It has been a long time. I've taken my bike to two shops to get the rear Maguras flex fixed but neither have managed to achieve this. Are you aware of a specialist in the area who could help? Many thanks, Peter

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I dropped into the 50 Cycles store in Shoreham by Sea to ask the ever affable Charles Martin why my second chain should have stretched significantly after a couple of hundred miles. I mentioned that the first chain was replaced under guarantee at their Bristol branch after three hundred miles as...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    80+ miles in eco. Problems of clacking motor resolved after software fix but I still have nagging doubts about the motor as sometimes it becomes relatively noisy but on other ocassions it reverts to 'normal'.

    Bikes in France

    I saw so many different makes of bikes in France this summer that I started to photograph them.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    They delivered it to my home. I watched their videos on setting up your bike but there were so many niggling adjustments that were beyond my level of competence. Thanks to member oriteroom whom I met through this site and who lives near me, most of these were fixed with his help and advice ...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    [ Yes just a nut and a washer but you have to remove the light in order to reattach a new one which was just another one of those frustrating experiences I could have done without.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Correct: lots of small niggling things like a missing nut from the rear mudguard which I only realised when out on a ride and heard a rubbing sound.Somehow my bike had slipped through its pre-delivery inspection and I suspect , no evidence of course, that having asked for a larger sprocket to...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I've not noticed lower power, everything seems to be a lot smoother than before. Harry also fitted a new chain as mine had stretched after just 500 miles but I don't know if this played a part in the clanking noise I was experiencing. Altogether the bike is now fine but it certainly had not...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    My motor problems seem to have stopped after I took it to Bristol and had the software updated. There is a very knowledgeable electronic's student who works there at weekends called Harry Gyurgyak who knows his stuff and is very helpful.

    Bikes in France

    I was surprised how many ebs I saw in France over the summer and noticed that French postmen are now supplied with an electric bike on which to do their rounds

    Hello from Poland!

    I suffered a similar fault which was only corrected when the software was updated. Now after a year of clicking and clacking all seems well. Hope this helps.

    Hello!

    For what it's worth I wish I had a bike with much higher gearing or better still a wider range of gears.

    2015 Kalkoff Tasman Impulse 8 HS 17Ah low step 46cm frame

    50Cycles fitted a 19 sprocket for me before delivery but failed to shorten the chain so I had to have that done (wish I'd known about chain tensioners) Motor cuts out at 17MPH -could that be because I have 28 as compared to your wife's 26 wheel oriteroom?)

    2015 Kalkoff Tasman Impulse 8 HS 17Ah low step 46cm frame

    Thanks. It is a threaded one and as I don't have a c spanner I am going off to a bike shop to ask them to tighten the race head. ( Mike told me what to say as I've no idea! )

    2015 Kalkoff Tasman Impulse 8 HS 17Ah low step 46cm frame

    Whilst we are talking about this particular Kalkhoff I'd like to ask about head adjustment. Mine has always had a bit of movement in spite of me tightening everything. Mike,(oriteroom) kindly came and had a look and made some useful suggestions. However after he left I had a closer look and...

    Thanks for that. I am reluctant to slacken the screws however unless I hear that this is necessary/required.

    So if I don't have any 'longitudinal float' I have a problem?
