    11 of the hottest ebike motors available and one with 160 Nm of torque!!

    How many miles to expect – Bosch Performance line

    Hi @Rune , in my point of view the motors with the classic Bosch egg optic are running more reliable than those with a changed motor cover. The other thing is, customers with cargo or trekking applications have a significant lower no. of failures. If you rige your bike in muddy tracks, don't...

    The new Stromer ST5

    Thanks @JayVee -- white means the motor was changed although it was still working e.g. due to optical reasons or when the rootcause of a failure was not found and the customer can keep the new motor.

    Kalkhoff Integrale S11....review???

    I agree! Ok, in Germany I heared that the warranty is longer ... but 2 years is also good. And that is the thing, all other manufacturers won't give another 2 years warranty on the changed drive unit. So if there is still a problem, you can be sure to get the motor replaced for free. Motor...

    Kalkhoff Integrale S11....review???

    It is a good mixture, some started to share their mileage before they had problems and some started with their 1st motor damage. An alternative is looking in www.pedelecs.co.uk. Currently I'm in a discussion with an EVO driver. He likes the bike a lot but there is a loss of power. The root...

    Kalkhoff Integrale S11....review???

    I can't see which Kalkhoff with which motor you like. Can you give us more details? If it is an Impulse2.0, the the 2017 series is a lot more reliable. Take a look on the motor ID, it should be bigger than 620.000 and the manufaction date should be 2017! But there is a 3 year warranty on that...
