I am hoping someone can answer this question as there isn't anything on the Kalkhoff site. I have purchased a Kalkhoff Image 5.I Advance with the Impulse Evo motor. Its great but I have found a bit of a "glitch" - maybe I am missing something. In the settings there is a shift sensor change -...

Ok chaps another question before I blow the best part of £100 on these. So bit of background. I have an 22 mile round trip each day combination of good cycle path (we are very lucky in Bristol) and quiet roads. Its been bothering me lately that I would struggle on my own if I had a rear wheel...

Thoughts please on this - https://www.orbea.com/gb-en/ebikes/gain-d40 If I read this right the bike is coming in at 13kg - http://road.cc/content/tech-news/228810-orbeas-gain-e-bike-looks-just-normal-road-bike-packs-250w-motor I checked with my local supplier and there will be commuter/hybrid...

Does anyone have any recommendations for winter waterproof cycling jackets please? I have a Proviz jacket which is great but I do find its a bit too thin for really cold days even with a couple of layers on. Ideally visible, waterproof and windproof.

Hi I have a Kalkhoff pro connect with a basic suntour front fork. I was thinking for the winter I might upgrade the front fork but my question is: 1. Does anyone have any recommendations? Its a pretty basic bike but I do have hydraulic disc brakes. 2. Do I need to order an ebike specific...

This is going to sound like a stupid question but are ebike chains different to standard Shimano chain on my old road bike? I have an 8 speed Shimano Altus groupset on my Kalkhoff which seems pretty standard. However, I have been told that having a crank drive this puts more strain on the...

Hi, So I am back on my Kalkhoff pro connect I8 with a replacement motor (old one was losing power). To be fair to Cycle Surgery and Kalkhoff they replaced the motor with no quibbles and this new motor seems really responsive - but a bit noisy!! I get a lot of whirring when I go up hills. I...

It's looking like I might have to hand my Kalkhoff bike back due to motor problems. I have been looking at alternatives and I am struggling to find a smaller frame as I am only 5ft 4in with a 29in leg. The kalkhoff pro Connect is a huge frame and a little cumbersome. I would like a step...

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with the Raleigh Captus step through? it looks pretty good and I like the idea of having a Bosch motor. Its not as powerful as my Kalkhoff but looks a nice bike with a good specification. Thoughts please.

Just wondered what brand of motor is the most reliable? I realise that on all ebikes things will break, chains will need replacing and batteries have a finite life. The reason why I am asking is that I have a Kalkhoff pro connect I8 step through. I love it but I wonder how long the motor...

Good Morning. My name is Lynette and I am just about to take the plunge by buying my first ebike a Kalkhoff Pro Connect i8. I have heard some horror stories about motors breaking after just a few miles. Now I am wondering if this bike is worth buying. Unfortunately, I can't afford anything...
