Hi all It is just about a year since I purchased my Kalkhoff Tasman from 50 Cycles. It has been a great year of cycling for me. I have done over 1,200 miles and still have a year on my warranty. It has saved a fortune in parking charges in Cambridge. I like having hub gears. The dynamo lights are brilliant. Battery (11 not 15 or 17) goes 40 miles and I am no small chap. The only thing that has spoiled my riding was people on this forum telling me it would not last long before I would get a motor failure! It has never missed a beat. Please try not to spoil it for people when they have already purchased the product. Thanks 50 cycles I made a great purchase. Nigel
