The H7 is the step thru which I specified with 700W battery, full legal throttle and front rack options in red. Bike is well finished and ad had a good PDI as came straight from Wisper as they had to get the throttle certified. Delivery was very efficient by courier from Wisper. They forgot the...

Been lurking to check the latest views before settling on a Wisper H7, now on order but having full throttle fitted. In the past, I’ve had 2 Kalkhoffs (Agattu traded for a ProConnect) then a Wisper 906 Alpino and then a KTM Gram Machina, but all the last 3 were stolen from my homes at the time...

Long time, no post as hadn't used it for a while. But my white Alpino was stolen from my front garden in NW London last night. Only distinguishing thing is it had smaller wheels than standard, but if you see one please PM me. Police aware but unlikely to be any more help than when ny Kalkhoff...

:confused:I set off this morning ok but after a short time the motor kept cutting out. It would restart if I reset the controller but quickly died again each time. It would last a bit better if i held down the ON switch but that's not very practical. When it fails the controller just shows 8...

See post in stolen bike ad classifieds. Thanks Simon

:mad: See classifieds- just sold this to a forum member, but it was stolen overnight. Silver/white frame. Thief doesn't have the battery key or charger, so I'll email 50 Cycles to be on alert. Will also check Gumtree etc and Police are informed.

AS I waited for my new bike to be ready there was another customer waiting for his Alpino. We got chatting and he'd never heard of the forum. so i gave him the web address for any advice he may need in future, But maybe the big retailers/manufacturers should include a card (with their...

and I like my new Alpino on the trainer size wheels. ETs put it together well and I'm getting used to the hub idea quickly. Everything is in kms so I can only say I covered a quick test of 24kms today- gentle pedalling with the back problems, but a lot more than I'd dare try on the ProConnect...

As explained in the main forum, I'm having to replace my PCS. It was bought new from 50Cycles on 25/6/09 for £2295 as a replacement for my Agattu. It was last year's joint poll winner for best ebike on this forum. I can't fault it at all, but need a hub/throttle bike now. It has the...

Maybe it's the advanced average age of the forum, but I often see complaints of ailments. So now it's me, as I've struggled for weeks with back spasms and ended up with a slipped disc, making cycling impossible just now:eek: It's forced me to rethink my love of crank bikes, as I'm told I...

Not sure if everyone's asleep or shy tonight, but no posts in 3 hours or so is unusual. How about you lot explain how/why you came up with the weird names you use on this forum :D . I never realised it was the norm as this is the first I ever posted on (hence my dull moniker :rolleyes: ) but...

Just checked and (folllowing the return of some kits) at last Alien are showing all their bikes and pricing. Typhoon looks closest to old GSII at £1k. And there's a cheeky new "off road" 350w rear hub :eek: called the Aurora at the same price. Frame sizing sounds big though for those with...

I used to like this subject for weird spots of ebikes taking over the world each summer. London's fertile ground so here goes for recent spots: 1. last night in Bow Street a Puch with young lady rider 2. recent evening brompton nano/small hub bloomsbury big lad 3. every day 2 Kalkhoff PCs...

Looking to tempt my OH into ebikes, but she'd only contemplate a standard (ie non-recumbent) trike. Choices seem very limited if you don't want to build one and postings on their merits are few. But always worth asking you lot. Only high end (other than silly prices like Kalkhoff at £3k+)...

So people come and go posting on the forum but still look in. I was struck by the number of ebikes in Italy (Verona) last week. Most used for deliveries and Wisper style, rather than Panasonic. Big market in London for takeaways and those wretched rickshaws in the West End? A year and a...

Before we got so uptight about who was delivering bikes and when, we used to have some good debate about mad politicians promising the world for votes, eg bike lanes and Paris hire schemes. That includes Ken's adopt a cycle highway scheme (alongside bendybuses) and sundry old etonians pretending...

More boring Kalkhoff diamond delivery stuff as some are still interested if a bit comatose. No news despite all their promises from the fabulous:rolleyes: 50Cycles. I gather the diamonds still haven't yet arrived:mad: . As i'm away until 5 April, I've asked them to deliver it on my return or...

Rarely seen the forum so consistently funny and positive. Great after the dark stuff of the last fortnight or so.:)

Not ebikes, I know, but has anyone been to Paris lately and seen the Velib ranks and the take-up? These things are available in ranks on many street corners and loads of people are using them. They're push bikes with Shimano hub-gears and dynamo lighting and seem to be "cool". Better than the...

I'm away until next week so won't get to check this out but maybe someone else will? Searching around idly tonight, I was surprised to find vitaelectric.co.uk now listing Kalkhoffs on their site. The site's rubbish to use and doesn't show the bikes, but they're mentioned at the bottom of the...
