    Kalkhoff Integrale

    Do not worry about the battery size. Even if you use High assistance all the time you will do the journey and back easily. When you tune down to Standard and then Eco+ ( as you get fitter) you will get great ranges still with strong assistance. You need to take a long test ride to see how...

    The new best headlight

    Had a look at your case again and I think it has built in what you want. You can charge the batteries in place using a wall charger through the standard plug, then every so often take the cells out and use your proper charger to bring balance back to the force when you are not in a rush. I...

    Yes you can. Yes you can as I think it is a low voltage cut off. But you may not want to use this sort of set up if you are charging the expensive lithium cells as it is not ideal and a bit rough if you are spending £10 a cell ish.

    I wonder if you are being sold a porky pie. I have a Moon Meteor which on Max produces 200 lumens and that is really bright, I rarely use it on Max level. Car headlamp, is 700-1200 lm. Just not easy to strap on a bike with a battery.

    That is a very sexy charger, does anything, nearly. Just thought you could try the original £ 16 light d8veh recommended at the start.

    Take the batteries out and charge them in a 4 battery charger, not as easy as plugging in a charger but seems a great kit to provide 8.4 and 5 volts...

    The new best headlight

    If you flatten a Lithium battery to near 0 v it will not recharge using the normal sensing charger, also internal resistance will charge cells differently, without balance a pack of batteries will only operate at the level or the poorest operating cell. Lithium are very high capacity but not...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    YOU HAVE BEEN UNLUCKY, REALLY UNLUCKY. EBIKES ARE GREAT and reliable. Get an ebike but with a different engine and as I said earlier all you will do is plug the charger in.
