Immaculate Kalkhoff E-Bike - 100% for charity
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 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:

Happy to show accountability of payment.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.3% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.2% Against. I want to deal with people.
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
