    Kalkhoff Evo Activity v Woosh Big Bear

    Thanks, Trex. Ihave found out that the Evo is definitely too big for me (28 inch wheels) and probably too heavy .Hatti tells me that the bike they are getting in is a crossbar. What a pity as it sounds great. The Big Bear is wonderful but is a bit heavy especially if I have to get it on the tow...

    Kalkhoff Evo Activity v Woosh Big Bear

    I have a Woosh Big Bear at present and am thinking of changing yet again (having had a few problems with the Big Bear). Has the Kalkhoff Evo Activity as powerful a motor as the Big Bear? It is very easy to go up steep hills with the Big Bear and I wonder whether the Evo would be the same? My...

    Redbridge 2014?

    Is there a date for Redbridge 2014, and is there going to be a event there next year? We live in Scotland and I will definitely need a new bike sometime next year. I am hoping to try both the Kalkhoff and KTM NuVinci bikes. The sooner I know the date, the sooner I can book a reasonable hotel...

    I've done it all wrong! Do I start again?

    Hi David If there was a smaller Allpino (but not the folding one) I would buy it tomorrow! I don't think I can wait until 2013 but certainly not in a hurry to make a decision. What a pity the 705SEL doesn't come with hub gears. After summer of lots of golf and trip to France I am going to make...

    I've done it all wrong! Do I start again?

    Hi Don I feel for you! I have done exactly the same thing. Bought an amazing Wisper Alpino and then found it was too big for me but it had wonderful hill climbing ability and I got over 50 miles from the battery. I sold that and bought a Giant which fits like a dream but does not have either...

    Hill climbing - Giant, Wisper or Kalkoff?

    Thanks for all the info - I have looked at BH Emotion site but not sure which would suit - will 'phone on Monday to get some information. I require a small frame with step through, 36v battery with 15ah or 18ah to give me the power and distance of the Wisper and that doesn't seem to be a popular...

    Hill climbing - Giant, Wisper or Kalkoff?

    I have so far owned a Wisper Alpino and Giant Twist Esprit. The Wisper is a wonderful bike but proved too big for me, so I sold it but it was amazing on hills and had plenty of power and also distance. The Giant which I replaced it with was very comfortable but has not got either the power or...

    Wisper 706 Alpino - raise stem?

    I have adjusted the handlebars already but do need the stem higher - is this possible? I will let Richard (my husband) have your instructions for the brakes and see if he can do this for me - otherwise we will have to take it to a shop somewhere. Any ideas about raising the stem? Marny

    Wisper 706 Alpino - raise stem?

    Hi I think you were meaning the seat stem? That's no problem! I want to raise the front stem to make the handlebars higher but this appears to be impossible as it is all one with the forks? Is that correct? We can move the handlebars OK but it is the stem that is the problem. Also having...

    Wisper 706 Alpino - new electric bike

    A few teething problems but nothing major. I think the bike is probably a size too big for me but we are trying to work round that. The main question being - how to raise the stem? I want the handlebars higher so that I can sit up straighter! I managed 171 km on the first two charges - pretty...
