As a small distance runner turned out to be the Kalkhoff Sahel Impulse Compact 8R, no battery in the test held by longer. The range buys the agile Kalkhoff Sahel Impulse Compact 8R but with the restrained motor.
What we like
- enormous range
- adaptable to many riders sizes
What we do not like
- comparatively low support
A really decent bike delivers Kalkhoff with the small Kalkhoff Sahel Impulse Compact 8R.
In its 20-inch wheels, the Kalkhoff Sahel Impulse Compact 8R whizzes manoeuvrable, yet stable driving on the road. they should maintain the bulky tires and well located in the handles for ordinary comfort.
With its very quiet motor the Kalkhoff Sahel Impulse Compact 8R spurts going strong. At higher speeds, the drive moves more restrained, but always harmonious — even over very long distances.
