    Wheels. Rims and spokes to be precise.

    The bike mechanic thinks that because its an ebike the rear wheel rim and particularly the spokes would be different as in stronger. The bike is Kalkhof hence the motor is not in the rear wheel so I have text him to say so. The reply seems to be suggesting that it would be a standard rim and...

    Wheels. Rims and spokes to be precise.

    The motor is by the bottom bracket not in the back wheel. Bike shop i spoke to said the rim/spokes maybe different. He said he would call in to look but I would have to order the rim and spokes if they are. Anyone know save him calling round? Thanks

    Just checked milage that I noted down. After noting down 5385 miles during a ride home I pressed the set button and held it in for to long and it cleared total millage. No idea at what point it was when I did it but it would have been fully charged at the start of 22 mile journey. So let's call...

    How do you tell the difference between the impulse (made by whome?) and a different and your opinion better motor. Mine is in the shop for new crank arm and a fix on the lights.

    Any tips for buying on ebay?

    You will have to explain that. I have had 5,000 miles out of my kalkhoff pro connect. The battery appears to be the same as mine. Almost worth buying for the battery
