The crap Impulse Motor started clicking at 3,000 miles and died at 4,000 miles. Also bought from 50cycles.

Emailed Kalfoff they don't care, the motors are fine with no problems.

They suggested I could get the motor replaced (at my expense) but what is the point if the replacement will be also useless.

This model was top of the range when I bought it. Very few of the bits are usable on other bikes. This bike should not have been released. They would have known that the motors were not fit for use. So sad they wont admit this and give their customers proper customer service.

the pawls snap off most of the time but these ppl can service it for you.


just remove the motor box it up and they will collect it and give you a quote to fix it.

its about 560 for a new motor from germany+ import costs imo
