Good picture with a Great bike, (with nice Panasonic motor), in a superb setting. What's the background to your shot. Here's my contribution, shows my ProConnect S with Mrs 'O' ProConnect step thru' on Sandbanks Promenade in Poole. I also really love the Ergon grios and bar ends. Unlike some...

The plot thickens!!!!!!! How come the OP's original post has been 'added to' by 50cycles or the moderator has allowed it to be added to? Does that mean that any of our posts can be added to after representations from third parties, without the OP knowledge!!!! By the way, Tom, what's the...

The 50 cycles 'addition' to original post, what a stupid place to put it and not copy it later in the thread....so I will repost here.... 50cycles Statement (Feb 2016) 'After our annual service meeting with Derby Cycles it was pointed out to us that a simple software update will rectify the...

This story is just a catalogue of absolute disasters for what was a premium brand of pedelecs. More and more faults appear out of the woodwork, and all with relatively LOW mileage. Mrs O is going go have to start using her 'new' Impulse 2 Tasman before the warranty runs out!!! Mind you that only...

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/kalkhoff-agattu-not-fit-for-my-purpose.23199/ The worrying/bad news on the reliabilty of the Impulse 1/2 motors just keeps on coming in.

Tomtomato Your original post has certainly prompted musch discussion and interest, with posts running at 161, and views approaching 5,000 now. The UK Kalkhoff either 50cycles, and/or Kalkhoff Aftersales haven't posted much on here. The latest discussion on small claims court action, if and when...

Paul, I'm in Bournemouth. Could meet and give you my experience since 2008. Depends what you want yo do in terms of using an ebike.

I'd consider your decision very seriously if it has an Impulse2 motor and you intend significant mileage (2k+ per year) rather than leave it in the shed and do the odd few mikes niw and then.

↑ And Croxden replied.........Some would pay extra for that. Remember, like in the days of being a kid, putting a bit of cigarette packet or other thin cardboard on the forks, so that it hit the spokes as they went round to SOUND LIKE A MOTOR:);)

i cannot work out what's on offer. Anyone else? http://r.ebay.com/BmfJEa

Below is a copy of post from Reseg on another Lowranger thread .... Says it all for me...the evidence is there for all to see.... Reseg said...... I have the Focus Aventura Impulse S10, with the Impulse 2 motor (Kalkhoff with a different badge). It's now waiting on its 3rd motor, with <3k miles...

Thanks Tillson, eventually at least a potential beam of light at the end of what seems a long dark tunnel. Hope your IFs above re motors and controllers go in a favourable direction. Followed your experiences since 2008, which is when we purchased the first two proConnects. Shared experience is...

Your usage matches almost EXACTLY ours, even down to the dry use and the same sort of mileage, about 2000 miles a year on each bike. We are allowed to get wet, but not the bikes, which is one reason our older bikes still turn heads. The paint job being the other!. However, as I say, my wife has...

Exactly the reason, John, why as I said in a post somewhere ... When, as we so often do, turn heads with the older Panasonic models and start chatting with folks with genuine interest in an e-bike, I simply will NOT RECOMMEND that they pursue an Impulse motor bike until reliability can be...

Surely, this forum cannot have attracted a highly selective membership of people who have imp2 motor problems. Perhaps I should change forums :), or never joined this one 7 years ago, then as they say "ignorance would be bliss". I'm very pleased to be here. Over those years, the advice i've had...

EXACTLY John. You've counted the numbers, and issues of failures/concerns of 8 for the Impulse 2 motor. Your last sentence says it all. I feel sure that forum members with faultless Imp2 motors would post their delight! Thus, the statistics do not look great. Our Tasman hasn't played up yet, BUT...

Given the increasing level of posts on this forum concerning high mileage/long term reliability issues of the Impulse range of motors that Kalkhoff have 'developed' (I use the term reservedly), Question....... Is anyone going taking a PUNT on the latest (third) re-incarnation of the Impulse...

I have put my four penneth in a reply on that thread. Similar experience as Tillson, would echo everything he has said, and will consider moving on a Tasman bought this year.... she won't get off the old Pansonic ProConnect from 2008, now at 12,000 practically fautless miles.

Agree with Service Supprt BUT You quote motor replacements over a 12 year period, during which time, for a substantial period the bikes were powered by Panasonic motors. More illuminating would be a breakdown of units sold versus motor service/replace statistics for the different motors. That...

As a long term user of Kalkhoff bikes, since 2008' and a combined mileage/reliabilty experience of the older Panasonic motor models of 32,000 ( thousand miles) they have proved practically faultless. Over that time, i have endlessly been an ambassador for the bikes and recommeded them to every...
