Any observations on these as an introduction to E Biking?
Hi I'm new to this group and have only just found your post. Did you get sorted and did you buy a Kalkhoff?
Me and my husband have Kalkhoff bikes but before I bought mine I had a Raleigh Motus which had a Bosch 40 Nm motor and a 400Wh battery and my husband's Kalkhoff has a 70 Nm impulse motor and a600 Wh battery. In August we cycled the Coast and Castles route from Edinburgh to Newcastle and on the first day we covered around 45 miles. My battery was showing only one bar left with 15 miles of quite hilly terrain to cover but my husband's still had almost half a battery left. Because of this I then bought my Kalkhoff Endeavour 5.I move (80Nm motor and 500 Wh battery) but due to the battery discharging every night by around 2 to 3% when not being used, and not being able to be fixed, I'm having it replaced with another Kalkhoff with a shimano motor.
I'd be interested to hear what you chose in the end.
