Hello Annik,
Can I ask did you eventually end buying Kalkhoff Electric bikes?
If I may explain, I am not a cyclist and much prefer a long walk. However, I have an issue with one knee which if you excuse the pun, is very long standing. I like to go out for a long walk each day if circumstances allows however I often have restless nights afterwards with said knee grumbling away. Accordingly, I often resort to slapping on pain relief gel and occasionally taking a couple of paracetamol as a result.
Anyway, a friend recently said that an electric bike may be better for the knees and so long story short, I have reluctantly started to explore the options which quite frankly, I've found mind boggling. Without looking at too many options, I came across the Kalkhoff range which I like the look of very much indeed. I don't want to go off road and will be using the bike (if purchased) almost exclusively on the quiet single track lanes in my part of Kent. I won't be wanting to take it away in the Cali either. Yours truly will be wanting nothing to do with lycra and would prefer the upright riding style at a steady rather than spirited pace. Some of the bikes in the Kalkhoff range seem ideal but being expensive, I would like as much advice as possible before deciding to give one a go. If I do go ahead I will endevour to find somewhere that will let me borrow one for an afternoon before deciding.
If you did purchase, can I ask how have you got on with your Kalkoff bikes? Your opinion on the good and bad points would be very welcome indeed.
If anyone else has any comments please feel free to pitch in.
