Been with Zen for years, wouldn't want to be with anyone else. When I suffered a loss of speed a little while ago which they quickly corrected, realising I had the old router they'd originally given me, running through a BT modem, they immediately mailed me a new FritzBox FOC. Currently...

Best check with Wisper what arrangements they can offer when you buy direct if there's no local agent. This link is for their contact form or you can use the phone number given. .

It wouldn't matter if they did. We had been failing for well over 20 years before we joined the common market, so we know only too well what being out of the EU means. As a member of the European movement we then continued to fail for the next 44 years, and we are still failing now that we...

Link to that model .

Hi Jake, welcome to the forum. The regrettable reputation is historic of course, since Cytronex featured strongly here from the 2008 beginnings, but the brand has largely been absent here in recent years. So an opportunity now for a fresh start. .

As Cyclebuddy has said, the batteries may well be finished. When new a nominal 48 volt battery should read 56 volts fully charged. Everything you describe indicates the voltage is collapsing early under load, usually meaning the battery cells are failing. Probably why the seller was getting...

Agreed, but if not corrected could well mislead others into poor purchasing decisions. .

One of them, Cenci, only restores old bicycles, adding a motor, so not even a manufacturer. Another, Taurus, boasts of going back to cycling's roots, including rod brakes in their designs. They would never get past our Vehicle Inspectorate with an added motor. .

You'd believe anything. That list is an exaggeration. For example a few Kalkhoffs within one year were produced with the Alber Neodrive after their Daum Impulse motors were failing, only because their preferred alternative crank motor from Bosch wasn't available due to the high demand for them...

These could be the deciders. Those batteries do have a sleep mode to protect them in storage, but you say it hasn't been used for few years. I'd recommend you charge the battery fully and test the bike out on a climb to ascertain battery and motor are ok. Either are very costly if faulty...

Kalkhoff Dealer Search shows a spread of South/South West dealers from Bristol and Bath down to along the south coast from Exeter though to Hilsea. Once they know you've moved into the area they may service it for you, and you could sound them out with a phone call before deciding. LINK As...

No, you shouldn't break the law of course. Pedelecs only have assist motors so do need a reasonable input from the rider to cope, especially on the steepest hills. However, some do have very high torque motors which cope far better, so one of those might suit. What make and model was the...

Hi Jodel. Member Soundwave has also posted about this, you can see his post and answers there on this link. .

Nonsense, I live in London, was born here to Londoner parents and have lived the great majority of my life here, including the last sixty years. .

No it doesn't sound good. It's just a way of making cycling much harder than it needs to be. That's why every attempt to introduce regeneration to electric assist bicycles over the years has been a failure. A bicycle and rider hasn't remotely enough mass to make regeneration worthwhile...

Similar here. I was first in the trade selling, fitting and servicing kit assist motors to bicycles back in 1950. Over 70 years of knowledge of the market that tells me that you are completely clueless on the subject. .

No we don't. .

I made sure that wouldn't happen to me. Well over thirty years of doing only the very varied things I wanted to do, when I wanted to do them, steadfastly rejecting every attempt by others to get committments from me. My excuse for not committing to anything? I'm retired ! :) .

Actually I should have said even better, as this account shows. Walking a neighbour's dog after dark past a badger sett, a badger was ambling towards us, so I stopped on the edge of its path with a forefinger pointing down to signal the well trained dog to freeze. The badger, clumsy and short...

Should think not! Though having retired a very long time ago, I can beat it: 11,099 continuous days off so far. :) .
