Frédéric’s KALKHOFF touring bike

Presentation:

Frédéric, a passionate user of bicycles for leisure, vélotaf and load transport, has given a new lease of life to his old Kalkhoff touring bike thanks to a powerful TSDZ2B electric kit and a 360 Wh battery. With this transformation, he now benefits from increased autonomy for his daily commutes.

Description of the Electrified Front Bike :

Frédéric’s bike is a sturdy, reliable Kalkhoff, originally designed for touring activities and a few commutes. Acquired over 12 years ago, it was beginning to show signs of wear, although it remained functional for short trips. Before electrification, this bike was powered solely by leg power, limiting its use to long distances or uphill climbs.

Reasons for Electrification :

Frédéric was looking for a solution to get a bike better suited to his current needs. Both to enable him to replace the car on short journeys while carrying a load, but above all to increase his autonomy on daily commutes. On the advice of a friend, he opted for a TSDZ2B kit kit, which combines reliability, performance and ease of use, all perfectly matched to his classic bike.

Kit installation :

Installation of the TSDZ2B motor kit and 360 Wh battery was simple, thanks to the tools and guide provided. The Kalkhoff bike, adapted to this type of conversion, made it possible to attach the motor to the crankset with little effort.

Experience After Electrification :

Since the conversion, Frédéric has already covered long distances on his electrified bike. He describes the TSDZ2B motor motor as a real asset, making every ride more pleasant and fluid. It has literally given his bike a “new lease of life”, making it more attractive for short trips instead of using the car. Frédéric particularly appreciates the maneuverability that this motorization brings, and regrets not having opted for this solution earlier. This has boosted his motivation, turning every outing into a moment of pleasure.

Conclusion:

Electrifying your Kalkhoff touring bike with a TSDZ2B kit and a 360 Wh battery has enabled Frédéric to simplify his daily commute and extend the useful life of his bike by 12 years. It’s proof that converting a conventional bike into an electric one can be a quick and cost-effective solution for keen cyclists looking to balance leisure, work and sustainable mobility. For Frédéric, this adventure marks the start of a new way of enjoying his bike, while contributing to a more environmentally-friendly mode of transport.
