50cycles.com Give Electric Bikes a Push With Kalkhoff Impulse
LONDON, February 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –
German manufacturer’s latest electric bike technology now in stock at UK innovator
50cycles.com
50 cycles electric bikes [http://www.50cycles.com ] announces the arrival of the first
electric bikes powered by Kalkhoff’s new Impulse assistance system.
As one of the most significant players driving electric bicycle
[http://www.50cycles.com ] development Kalkhoff took the established Panasonic electric
bike system [http://www.50cycles.com/panasonic.htm ], boosted its power and range and used
it to drive breakthrough e-bikes like the Agattu
[http://www.50cycles.com/product.htm?product=kalkhoff-agattu-8-speed ] onto an electric
bike scene that had depended upon cheap, often unreliable imports. They quickly became
best-sellers across Europe.
As part of Derby Cycle AG, the largest bicycle manufacturer in Germany, Kalkhoff
benefits from unrivalled research, development and testing facilities. With the
introduction of ultra-long-range, long-lifespan 18Ah battery packs
[http://www.50cycles.com/section.htm?section=batteries-and-chargers ] last season, Kalkhoff
electric bikes opened up an even greater market lead.
A Sudden Impulse [http://www.50cycles.com/kalkhoff-impulse-ebike-introduction.htm ]
Then out of the blue last Spring, they revealed that they’d developed their very own
Impulse electric bicycle system
[http://www.50cycles.com/kalkhoff-impulse-ebike-introduction.htm ]. The surprise
announcement in Berlin last March went down so well with German e-bike dealers that
several thousand Impulse-powered bikes were ordered within a day of that first podium
presentation.
Kalkhoff Impulse comes to 50cycles this season
Soon recognising the international potential of their Impulse e-bike drive
[http://www.50cycles.com/kalkhoff-impulse-ebike-introduction.htm ], Kalkhoff developed a
version for the export market that debuts on 50cycles’ Agattu Impulse electric bike
[http://www.50cycles.com/product.htm?product=kalkhoff-agattu-c8-impulse ] range this
season. The top Agattu Premium C11 Impulse
[http://www.50cycles.com/product.htm?product=kalkhoff-agattu-premium-c11-impulse ] model
comes with Shimano’s 11-speed hub and an LCD screen
[http://www.50cycles.com/kalkhoff-impulse-ebike-features.htm ] displaying the amount of CO2
and money saved by riding your electric bike, compared to a car.
Kalkhoff have taken a good long look at other e-bike systems
[http://www.50cycles.com/section.htm?section=electric-bikes ] and made improvements that
add up to a satisfying electric bike riding experience
[http://www.50cycles.com/kalkhoff-impulse-ebike-riding.htm ], whatever the terrain or
rider’s ability.
“I’ve ridden the Agattu Impulse around Richmond Park a lot lately and found it has
real verve when taking on hills. The new system lets you cover mile after mile at a
terrific pace, while getting just enough exercise to make it fun and exhilarating,”
explains Tim Snaith, co-founder of 50cycles.com.
The new Impulse models are available to test ride in Richmond, Loughborough and at
Kalkhoff dealers in Bath and Cambridge.
