    Kalkhoff woes, need help.

    I have a Kalkhoff Agatu 2012 model (impulse one motor) and it has given up the ghost. It started on a ride, a loud noise and vibration coming from the motor housing. Then on a trip to the shops loads of knocking and a grinding noise started. So I had to stop and push the bike home. I rang...

    Bosch vs Impulse

    It is worse. It is one of the things I dislike and cannot wait to be able to afford to change to another system of changing the gears. It seems ok (sometimes) when on the flat but not if you are going uphill. you have to stop pedalling for two seconds before the gear changes. Terrible.

    Can't you strap the battery packs to a vest so you look like a suicide bomber? (bad taste?) :p

    NuVinci CVT (Automatic Gears) Hub

    On my Kalkhoff C8 I have to wait close to a second for the gear to change as I wait for the motor to cut out. It will not change while there is power on. I hate it, but will have to live with it for now.

    Article on BBC Web site about electric bikes

    I have a friend who is the same age as me and is fit as a butchers dog and he is one of the types that actually likes to "feel the burn" and gets a high from it. Many people that have done sports all of their lives are of a similar mindset. That's is fine for them, not everyone is like that. For...

    Heart-rate driven power assist ... Kalkhoff Impulse Ergo

    No no, it is called a Pant Monitoring Telemetry or PMT for short. ;) Didn't know about the chest straps on the watches either, that sucks. :-(

    Heart-rate driven power assist ... Kalkhoff Impulse Ergo

    A chest mounted option put me off too alex. Not sure how it does it TBH. Would be very cool if it was built into a watch with lots of other health functions on.

    A good mount needed

    I want to mount my smartphone (Sony Arc) on my bike, I have seen lots of models on eBay for universal ones and the official Sony ones but they all look very flimsy and I would be nervous putting an expensive phone on a vibrating platform like my handlebars are. Anyone got anything they would...

    Nope mine is still not up. I only expanded a little on some of the things the OP made as I have one of the bikes he was talking about. I did plan on doing my own review of my bike but not until I have it fully working after getting a new charger and battery back from 50C. Unfair to review it...

    Thanks for the info Rsscott. Maybe it would be a good idea to write a sticky at the top of the review forum so we could avoid this again?

    I pretty much agreed with the reviewer and expanded on it. Nothing inappropriate :-)

    But mine is not a review, it is a response to a review by someone else. To my mind that is gagging, and not free speech.
