Hi I have been looking it the Kalkhoff range of bikes
The only thing that they don't have is a throttle which I really want on a bike can one be fitted to it?

You can fit a throttle to any bike, but on some bikes, like Kalkhoffs, you can't make it work. The controller doesn't have any sort of input for one.

That's a bit disappointing it could be a deal breaker as I am looking for a new bike.

You might hear of an optional throttle for certain Kalkhoff models, but it's not what you are looking for. It's just a "walk-alongside" one for use when walking a too-steep-to-pedal hill, and restricted to under 4mph. That cannot be altered, confirming what d8veh has advised.

There great looking bikes its a shame they don't do a throttle.

Try it. You might find you don't need a throttle at all.

DavieH -

Yes by all means try one. I did, and was highly impressed by the build and general quality - but a disability (one leg) means that I really need a throttle, and I just couldn't get on with the Kalkhoff. Shame.

I settled for a Wisper 905, but if Kalkhoff ever DO produce a throttle version, I'll be switching.
