    Strange creaking noise when pedalling Scott/Bosch fs mtb.

    @Gubbins the bike is really new, so I cannot imagine that there are problems with the bearings, especially because you do not like the wet and dirty rides. I share @d8veh theory - motor bolts - also possible pedals tight? crank arms tight? -> oh i read, you checked already Correct, I add my...

    Strange creaking noise when pedalling Scott/Bosch fs mtb.

    @Gubbins I have several questions: - how old is the Scott bike - what type of Bosch motor is implemented - what is the current mileage - when do you use the bike (p.e. always / just sunny days)

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Due to a lot of failed Impulse2.0 motors in Europe in 2015, Daum Inc. & Derby Cycle (Kalkhoff, Focus, ...) improved the design of the motor and modified the software. We got some information about this from 50cycles some pages ago. The new 2017 motors are hopefully more reliable. An abstract...

    pedelecmonitor - mileage and repairs statistics

    Thanks for your info. In relation to the working CX motors here in the forum, it is not that much. So I have 1 failed unit out of 25 in the pedelecmonitor. I think in reality the motors are much better. But an estimation w/o data is really difficult and nobody would accept, right?

    pedelecmonitor - mileage and repairs statistics

    Over 1.000.000 kilometer or 650.000 miles motor experience are basis for the JUNE statistics. The first registered damage in a Bosch CX occured. In the germen Pedelecforum I started a monitoring for the newer Impulse2.2 with changes in construction and software compared to the 2.0. For more...

    Is this a new form of marketing???

    Maybe it's because the very beautiful white rack/carrier costs 200,- ? :p

    pedelecmonitor - mileage and repairs statistics

    Here around Stuttgart there are just a few with failures, most cases are broken gear wheels with the classic. The thing is, I'm still using a german website. Although I use simple words and grammar, google translator sometimes build sentences with no sense! Maybe more people would join if I...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    @martincecho why is your display stopping at 10.000km or miles? Are you sure it's an impulse2.0 ? Even the bigger displays can show more than 9.999km? Which display do you have? Enjoy your rides with your son ;)

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Very interesting. So also in Germany we have some 10.000+ with the Impulse2.0. The date of manufacture of those units is spring and summer 2014. The 2015, 2016 and the late 2014 were beginning to have problems sporadically. Can you post year and month of manufacture of your unit or the first 3...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Good idea, I will also implement the data of my (old) first google table under the charts! Thanks to all for the ideas and discussions in the threads and in the conversations. Sorry, it take a lot of time to introduce the ideas in german and english. But two separate websites are a way to much...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Thank's for your answers and discription of the failure chain. That helps a lot. Now there are further questions: 1) From which motor# or date of production is the new improved impulse2.2? 2) Even the fixed motors in August 2016 with better parts had problems (mine lasts just 1 month or 800km)...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    To FIRST - I have the same point of view. I suspect 2 initial issues. I think one is the bearing that is responsible for the noise during the ride in power modus up the hill. It's getting louder until the support completely stops. --- EDIT: I found a post in the german pedelecforum, where is...
