Pure riding pleasure: Test the new Kalkhoff E-Bikes now!

You have to experience it!

Riding an E-Bike is fashionable, attractive, sporty, elegant, brilliant, thrilling, pleasant, pleasurable, relaxing... The most beautiful kind of cycling can hardly be described with a few words. You have to experience it – ideally on a Kalkhoff E-Bike. As a leading manufacturer of E-Bikes in Germany, we combine modern design, pioneering ideas and innovative drives for the highest functionality and superb riding fun. And so that everybody has a piece of this, we offer E-Bikes for every situation in life and every type of rider: Power commuters, city runabouts, touring fans, nature lovers, iconic cruisers, comfort connoiseurs, entry-level cyclists and more advanced riders – experience cycling enjoyment on the best and newest models of 2013.

So, get on your bike!

efficient, light, long range.

Our 2013 models reveal fresh designs and outstanding technical innovations: from more efficient motors and batteries through to even better displays. The new drive from Bosch opens the door to previously unknown dimensions in sporty E-biking – just like the efficient XION rear wheel drive, whose superb performance guarantees dynamic riding fun of the highest order. Our Kalkhoff Impulse drive system impresses alongside the backpedal function and the first-class ride characteristics with integrated LCD display

FOR OVER

YEARS

including customisable screen. Even the Impulse batteries set new standards: The 17 Ah battery enables a range of up to 205 kilometres, while the 11.6 Ah light battery adds only 2.5 kg to the weight. So, it's good to know that not only fans of the back-pedal brake, but also freewheel fans can now enjoy the Impulse drive system.

Quality – from GermanY. Kalkhoff brings together the highest quality and German engineering finesse – and has been doing so for over 90 years. Our E-Bikes are developed and assembled in Germany and tested in our own test laboratory. For this process, Kalkhoff uses only the latest materials and highest-quality components from respected suppliers. It is our enthusiasm for cycling and our aspiration to build made-to-measure bikes for a variety of needs which drive us on to new ideas and top performances time and time again. Our experience, combined with outstanding specialist knowledge and the latest computer technology, enables us to develop our own innovations – bike concepts, functions and componentry – which make your everyday life on the move easier and your enjoyment of cycling that bit greater each time.

Preface – 03

WHY an E-Bike?

6 unbeatable reasons to snap up an E-Bike now.

01 Quick and environmentally 04 Flexible and independent friendly Around half of all car journeys are shorter than five kilometres. Journeys that can be made in no time at all with an E-Bike – without traffic jams and searching for a place to park. That saves your nerves and is environmentally friendly to boot. You can see the amount of CO2 saved on a journey compared to travelling by car on the new LCD display of the Kalkhoff E-Bikes.

And riding your E-Bike is even more fun with a clean, green conscience.

02 Fit and healthy Cycling gets you fit. But honestly now: Wouldn't you rather take the car or the bus? There’s no doubt – you would gladly take to your Kalkhoff E-Bike any day of the week. Because your inner couch potato has no chance against this much riding fun. Incidentally, you would also be training your heart and circulatory system – without unnecessary peaks of effort. Therefore, riding your E-Bike is not only more healthy and effective, it gets you nice and trim too.

03 Cool and comfortable Up hill, down dale and pedalling quickly all of the time? That would make some of us break into a real sweat. But E-bikers keep their cool. Because they decide for themselves the amount of muscle they use on the road. The perfectly coordinated drives of the Kalkhoff E-Bikes take the rest of the strain. That means you can arrive relaxed and cool at the office instead of stressed and sweaty.

With a Kalkhoff E-Bike, you profit from a simple formula: Long ranges + higher speeds = new horizons. In practice, that means: Even if you have never dreamt of riding long distances on your bike up to now, you won’t hesitate for long with an E-Bike. Whether it’s long commuter routes or extended cycle tours: distant goals are within your reach with the E-Bike.

05 Cheap and economical Fed up with rocketing costs? With a Kalkhoff E-Bike, you can get moving without high running and insurance costs. And because electricity combines with muscle power to get your E-Bike going, your mobility costs only a fraction of what other vehicles cost in terms of fuel.

06 Sociable and good humoured As a pair, with your family or in large groups: extended tours are fun and bring you closer together. Most of all when you all ride at the same speed.

On a Kalkhoff E-Bike, even less powerful excursionists ride at the same level as their stronger companions. According to the motto: it’s better to have a pleasant ride together than a lonely ride on your own. That way, everybody arrives at their destination at the same time and in good humour.

Kalkhoff Impulse.

Drive system with centre motor and backpedal brake or freewheel.

Our Impulse drive system combines the balanced ride characteristics of a centred and deep-set drive with the usual assistance of a back-pedal brake and two hand brakes. Here, the motor impresses with its superbly controlled performance: soft, controlled startup followed by an increase in power. So you benefit from the full motor output even when climbing a hill. And that means even more riding fun.

SPEED SENSOR ON REAR WHEEL

In addition to a torque sensor, the Impulse drive is also controlled by a speed sensor. This means that the maximum power assistance will also be provided when riding with higher pedalling cadences at lower speeds, when cycling uphill for example.

IMPULSE MOTOR

range

A torque sensor is integrated into the motor unit. The assistance provided by the brushless motor increases as the pedalling effort increases – up to a top speed of 25 km/h.

Under optimum conditions and with a fully charged battery in top condition, you can cover a distance of up to 205 km with a Kalkhoff Impulse. The range is dependent on factors such as assistance, speed, temperature, the number of start-ups, the gear selected and the hills to be climbed.

XION. The efficient drive system with sporty riding performance.

A punchy, dynamic ride. The XION rear wheel drive combines riding performance with efficiency and reliability – a great fun factor for anybody who appreciates agile handling: accelerate quickly from a standstill, put in a lively burst of speed or even ride powerfully on hills. Whilst doing so, safety and comfort is provided by the hill-descent assistant with recuperation function, which can brake automatically on request and feed the energy back into the battery. The XION drive can be operated highly intuitively via the control panel, which also allows you to call up information comfortably and safely during a journey.

Xion MOTOR The power sensor integrated in the drive precisely calculates the pedal force, which is then boosted by the motor using an algorithm so that the handling is agile and natural at the same time.

TFT DISPLAY The ergonomic, high-quality TFT display informs you about journey time, speed and your personal contribution, amongst other variables. Thanks to a light sensor, the information can be read particularly easily in all light conditions.

range Under optimum conditions and with a fully charged battery in top condition, you can cover a distance of up to 170 km with a XION drive. The range is dependent on factors such as the assistance level selected, temperature, the number of start-ups, the gear selected, speed and the hills to be climbed.

Optical sensor High efficiency and dynamic handling is enabled by an innovative and highly precise optical sensor which controls the drive.

Calculation of ranges The batteries used in Kalkhoff E-Bikes can last a distance of up to 205 kilometres. However, the actual distance is dependent on various factors. Naturally, the distance is greater on flat roads than over hilly terrain. Similarly, a headwind or tailwind, like the temperature, can influence battery performance. Besides these external influences, the number of stop-starts, an even pedalling cadence and the bike being in perfect technical condition can also help to increase the distance. And the weight of the rider or the load influences the range, too. The influences are so many and various that the longest range achieved can be up to 7 times as long as the shortest.

12 – PERFORMANCE

38 – FAQ

E-BIKE FAQs. Questions & Answers.

What advantages do E-Bikes offer?

Riding an E-Bike has many advantages: it’s at once sporty and relaxing, it’s kind to the environment, cost-effective and also great fun. Pedalling is assisted by powerful electric motors, so that joints are spared added stress, peaks of effort are avoided and longer distances can be covered with less effort and stress. Even a heavily loaded pedelec, with lots of luggage or a child trailer, is pleasant and easy to ride thanks to the electric assistance, which takes part of the strain. Moreover, an E-Bike creates no noise or pollution and offers fantastic energy efficiency. In combination with the low running costs – one battery charge costs between € 0.08 and€ 0.15 on average – it is the perfect alternative to the car, especially for daily or shorter journeys.

Do I need a driving licence to ride a pedelec?

In most European countries, pedelecs with a motor output of up to 250 watts and speeds of up to 25 km/h are considered bikes and may therefore be used without a driving licence. To ride S-Pedelecs, which reach speeds of up to 45 km/h, you might require a driving licence and a valid insurance plate.

Do I have to wear a helmet on a pedelec?

For riders of pedelecs which reach speeds of up to 25 km/h, there is, as with bikes, no legal requirement to wear a helmet. Nevertheless, Kalkhoff expressly advises you to wear a bicycle helmet for your own protection in road traffic. On the other hand, S-Pedelecs which reach speeds of up to 45 km/h are subject to the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations in most European countries, which make it compulsory to wear a helmet. Kalkhoff recommends special E-Bike helmets, as these have a sturdier construction than conventional helmets and therefore offer greater protection.

Can I ride on a cycle path on a pedelec?

In most European countries, there is a legal obligation to ride on the cycle paths provided – so you must do so. With S-Pedelecs on the other hand, you may only use a cycle path if your power assistance is turned off. Cycle paths where mopeds are permitted, are the exception to this rule.

How do I gauge the range of a battery correctly?

When comparing batteries, you should bear in mind that different drive systems work with different voltages, so the ampere-hours (Ah) indicated alone are not a reliable guide. The amount of energy stored, given in watt-hours (Wh), is decisive. This is calculated by multiplying the voltage (volts) by the charge (Ampere-hours). Thus, a Kalkhoff Impulse battery with 17 Ah and 36 volts has 612 watts of energy, for example: 17 Ah x 36 V = 612 Wh. Depending on the efficiency of the motor system, we can generally say that the more watt-hours there are, the longer the range is. With a full charge, the newest generation of Kalkhoff Impulse batteries has a range of up to 205 kilometres. A full charge costs somewhere between € 0.08 and € 0.15 on average – about as much as a hot shower.
