The magazine "Bike picture" has tested e-bikes and bench bicycles on their brake security. Ten Pedelecs of the entry-level class up to 2500 euros were checked, as well as ten electric chairs in the load-wheel category (Cargobikes), which often transport toddlers. "Our test reveals serious vulnerabilities," said "Bike picture"-Editor JOrg Maltzan. "Seven test candidates fell through the brake test: the braking power was too weak", So Maltzan.
Obi wheel and Cargo bikes fail
To the "Push through" The following wheels belonged:
That says the manufacturer
At least at Kalkhoff you have already improved in the current production. "Immediately introduced night tests have shown that the cause of the poor braking power is a material composition changed by the manufacturer of the brake pads. However, these weaker benefits only occur in the model from 2016, coverings from previous model years clearly exist the tests. Of course we exchange the brake pads of the affected wheels from the model year 2016 for the customers cost-neutral against new coverings provided by the manufacturer, which have passed all the test", said Arne Sudhoff of Derby Cycle Holding GmbH, which represents Kalkhoff, to Site.

Brakes are the most important
It is not nice to read how many bicycles fall through the test. We have this … Year two e-bikes from Kalkhoff at FAFIT24.de bought, but with our brakes nothing is missing. According to this article I called the dealer and an employee of FAFIT then answered us very competently all the question. Our brakes are in order and will also be tested with you before delivery. Hope that in the future the brakes of all e-bikes will become better and such tests all with positive results.
Brakes and tires are important.
The brakes to a bicycle are crucial.25km is enough to break his neck, nose, ears to break.Also a strong front wheel brake false uses that same result is rising over the handlebar.Who pushes a bike and brakes can test the brakes in this way.
It will
partly murk made. Bdoch his first engine made click noises and was a malformation. Motor change at approx. 4.500 km. The rear wheels in Haibike were made with 32 spokes and without highly load rim. After 1.700 km complete scrap. The Tecto brakes in Haibike are apparently cheap and goods after 4.000 km in the bucket. And so much money.
I am not surprised
If I see many ebikes, all weigh a heavy battery and weigh mostly about 25kg. But the cheapest brakes turn. Measure somewhere that save. I have at all my wheels although I have no ebikes, hydraulic disc brakes. At Tempo 30hette, I with "normal" V-Brakes scared.
Bicycles and E bikes are biked in Germany
actually somehow allowed by an authority ? Every fuzz is regulated in Germany. And if I look at the e bikes the reliability is tried by the customer at the expense of customers on the street
Not just ebike also racing bikes
have partially frightening bad brakes. The much faster moving racing bikes have only simple rim brakes. Then there will be added that you first have to surround the handlebar to brake with full power.There are already 1-2 sec. Often no bells no reliable lighting.Here would be a test interesting. MTB have normal brakes normal. E-bikes are only mountain high and fast faster than bicycles without engine.But the speed on a flat track is rather slower. Do not understand the excitement.At Ebike, most of the better brakes have as simple boardgrounds.
Unfortunately it has
already given dead, here it would have to admit an approval of the motor joint office. An official operating permit for each offered e-bike. Obviously, the quality on the market is rather bad.
