Immaculate Kalkhoff E-Bike - 100% for charity

Melissa from Avondale

This is a Kalkhoff S45 Impulse Wave, 8 gear e-bike which I brought from Evo Cycles in Britomart in 2018 for $4500.00. I used it to bike to work a couple of days a week, but never stuck to using it regularly (only 640KMs on the clock!) so I'm selling it and giving 100% of the proceeds to … View moreThis is a Kalkhoff S45 Impulse Wave, 8 gear e-bike which I brought from Evo Cycles in Britomart in 2018 for $4500.00. I used it to bike to work a couple of days a week, but never stuck to using it regularly (only 640KMs on the clock!) so I'm selling it and giving 100% of the proceeds to charity (details below).

I've kept it regularly serviced, and when I got the last one in November the guy said it's in immaculate condition and didn't really even need the service:-)

This bike has 2 modes, Eco and Power, and it's one where you need to pedal as well (it's not like a motorbike one where you can not pedal at all). It's a zippy, smooth, fun bike to ride.

I also brought and had mounted a good quality chain, an Abus Bordo, worth ~$200. I'll also throw in the pump I brought, and helmet, and even a good waterproof panier worth $200 if it helps seal the deal!

You're welcome to make a time to come and check it out and take it for a test drive if you'd like to (Avondale, Auckland).

100% of the money is going to a young boy I've gotten to know through the war in Gaza, who has sadly lost his leg and arm, so he'd like to raise enough to get prosthetics. You can read more about his story here:
www.gofundme.com...

Happy to show accountability of payment.

Price: $1,500

Our special partnership with Metlifecare continues, and we have some great content to share with readers about people living their best lives in retirement.

This issue we look at some of the worthwhile volunteer roles retirees are filling in our communities, learn about mindfulness at any age, and check out some Kiwi beach travel options while the good weather lasts.

Don’t forget to try out our nostalgia quiz - it’s for anyone who wants to test the Kiwi knowledge they’ve picked up over the past four, five, six or more decades.
