    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Not sure what you mean by software extra but there's a wheel size setting that I could have changed to fool the bike into thinking it had smaller wheels which would have raised the assistance cut off from 25kph to a higher value. However, as has been endlessly discussed in this forum, this would...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    OK, the SD card with 1.345 on it arrived on Saturday and I've just done the update, again very quick and easy, but you have to remove and replace the battery after the update to reboot and only then does the service unit show the updated level of software. So I'm now on the latest level, bike...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Having called Joe at 50cycles after last week's efforts, he said to try the update again as sometimes it takes a couple of tries to 'stick'. I've updated software and firmware on a lot of things in my life and never found it not sticking - but tried again this morning. Confused. Last week, when...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Well I've just done the update as per instructions, very quick and easy to do. However, the information displayed after the update has confused me, because my motor seems to have the same level of software as before the update - 1.302 from Feb 2014. I've emailed 50cycles support for advice.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I had a good phone conversation with Joe from 50cycles support last Friday who shipped the Impulse diagnostic and update box to me yesterday - it arrived today with instructions. I will do the software update later this week when time allows.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Today I did something I've been meaning to do for a while, and used online chat to 50cycles.com to ask about the software update that's available or Impulse 2.0. I pointed out that I lived near Portsmouth and that getting to Shoreham would be very difficult, and they said they can send out a box...

    Kalkhoff back light not working

    Ok, it's working again. I took off the rear light and removed the connector. It's a Busch & Muller Toplight Flat Plus http://www.bumm.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Anleitungen/329d.pdf The connector isn't ideal, in that it simply squashes the two wires against the two connectors. One of the...

    Kalkhoff back light not working

    I have a Kalkhoff Pro Connect 10, with front hub dynamo and automatic lights, and on my ride home this evening I discovered the rear light wasn't working. I'm sure it was the last time I rode in the evening - which was a few months ago. There aren't any switches on the back light. Has anyone...

    Question about tyres

    I have a Kalkhoff Pro Connect Impulse 10, bought in June last year. The tyres are Scwalbe Marathons, 28 x 1.50, (40x622) and the rims just say 'Concept' - I *think* they are Shuemann Concept SDR light rims, as the Kalkhoff website for the 2015 model mentions Concept SDR. If I read the Shuemann...

    Part Exchange....

    Thanks guys. Doesn't sound like px is common practice which is what I expected. I was just thinking ahead to possibly next year, while mine is still under guarantee, maybe selling and buying something in a different style in the light of my experience with my first ebike. More MTB, less pure...

    Part Exchange....

    ...does the concept exist for any dealers in the e-bike market? Not having bought or sold any bikes in my life as expensive as my current one, I wondered if part exchange was offered by any dealer in the UK?

    Going forward while looking back

    Your end stops - they're definitely a solid part of your handlebars and not push fit into the ends?

    Fellow Kalkhoff Pro-Connect Impulse owners - question

    Ahh - that gives me a clue, thank you, I'll take another look at mine. So presumably your battery, when locked in place, now has a little play in it - does it rattle on the move at all?

    Fellow Kalkhoff Pro-Connect Impulse owners - question

    Yes its possible it sticks to the battery, and yes its possible it was on the lock area, but I'm hoping a similar Kalkhoff owner can look at their bike for me :) I know there are owners on here...
