hillclimber

I'm 16 stone, 60, and a lifelong compost heap. But this thing means I can do the same rides I used to do on my 4000 watt kit bike LEGALLY.

Just taken delivery of a Kalkhoff Integrale 8. As far as I can see (having started with Giant Lafree Twist in 2003 and added Kalkhoff Tasman in 2010) it is the beginning of a new era in that,hitherto, no legal machine could haul a fat old fool like me up really steep hills. Heaven knows what will be available in another five years.

Any chance of ringing me?

Please ring me Paul. Gerard Noel.

I got Strava and was most impressed; the Lycra boys less so

iPhone/iPad via Tapatlk.

Sounds great. How many Watts is the motor ?

Can't find it on Amazon ....

I was there at 11.00. Not going to hang round all day on the off chance of being able to ride up Park Street.

Anyone who, like me, travelled to the Bristol ebike event with a view to test-riding a selection of bikes, has had a wasted journey. The pathetic, enclosed, 'test circuit' would not have challenged a Dinky Toy. What a farce!

Thanks. Look forward to giving it a try ...

Thanks for that. Most helpful, as ever.

My quest for more torque has led me to the Tonaro Bighit, which claims an amazing 120NM. Any views, please?

Can u recommend a 500W machine, please?
