DISTINCTIVE THROUGH EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE

 

Here at Kalkhoff, the best part of the day is riding our bikes – a Kalkhoff bike ‘moves you everywhere’. Everything here revolves around the integrated e-bike design: sleek lines, optimum integration and pure, stylish colours with a Nordic character.

 

Thanks to constant checks and the use of advanced production processes and technology, we always satisfy our own high standards of quality, craftsmanship, durability and reliability. And we keep our promise of providing the very best biking experience. Even our prototypes, which we test here in Cloppenburg, are expected to meet standards that are more stringent than the branch guidelines and statutory requirements.

 

Independent test centres and test results demonstrate our high quality, as does our integrated e-bike design. We can’t tell you how proud we are of these results!

RADtouren Magazine: Price/performance trekking e-bikes "Fair price - highly recommended"

05/24

Our Endeavour L Move has been praised by RADtouren magazine in the category 'Price/performance trekking e-bikes'. The Endeavour L Move impresses with its elegant, slim design and integrated cable routing in the stem. At just 21.5 kilos, it is one of the lightest trekking e-bikes on the market. Thanks to its low weight, it rides refreshingly naturally and flies through bends in a relaxed, light and manoeuvrable manner, while maintaining a safe grip on the road. Eyelets on the head and seat tubes allow you to fit a front carrier and range extender, which provides you with a further 250 Wh if required. Large, cushioning Ergon grips and offset handlebars enable a comfortable riding position and offer you optimum riding comfort even on long tours.
