Have fun getting to know your new bikes! My Woosh Santana CD came today - easy to set up, better not be raining tomorrow - can't wait to give it a proper run! Exciting isn't it!!!

How close are you to AndyH? Could you persuade him to let you have a test ride? (Being v cheeky I know, but as my old gran used to say, if you don't ask, you don't get!!)

I tried the Cyclotricity Sahara and the Woosh bikes recently. The Cyclotricity was lighter and fairly powerful but I personally didn't like the thumb throttle - probably because I hired a twist throttle bike for a few days and have got used to that and I also found it to be quite noisy. The...

Lancslass I share your pain!!! (Pos quite literally sometimes as I have a dodgy back too!!!) Recently I was in a similar situation, once I'd decided against building my own which was an initial preference. We are not far from ebikes direct so took a trip down there, to discover that the bike...

Many thanks for all the advice and comments to my previous threads! My birthday/christmas present is sorted! After looking thoroughly at kits versus completed bike, at first erring towards converting my current bike we've now decided on a Woosh CD. I tried a few ebikes but the Woosh CD came out...

Nope, definitely can't argue with that! Hope it all fits well.

Came across this company recently, they speciailise in special needs trikes of all descriptions so would imagine they must have come across problems with transporting them at some point, maybe they would have some ideas. http://www.missioncycles.co.uk/index.php

Would a three or four bike rack work? Might need to 'tweak' it if the distances between the carrying rails aren't the right distance. We've used roofbox.co.uk for racks - useful website, very helpful, quick delivery and reasonable prices.

Trying to work out when we can get to Whoosh for a test ride!

Lol! If our house is quiet I get very suspicious - usually means trouble!

I know it might be tricky but if you can find somewhere to try a couple of bikes it really would be a good idea. I hired a Freego hawk recently and am hooked, so we are now looking into a decent electric bike. We thought we'd narrowed it down to a couple of bikes but I didn't particularly like...

First read that as 'kids are about as noisy...'!!! Thanks for all your input!

We are new to all this electric bike stuff and whilst trying to decide on bike or kit (probably kit!) my other half came across this which looks interesting, but I wondered what you experienced ebikers made of it! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/add-e-simply-add-electricity-to-your-bicycle#/...

Thanks for your replies trex. Seems the bikes I like don't have throttle or torque sensor! So looking into kit for my bike. My other half came across this! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/add-e-simply-add-electricity-to-your-bicycle#/ Not sure what to make of it!

What about a 2013 Giant Escape 1? Have I read somewhere that the Suede can have a throttle added too?

I'm not sure, was thinking aloud really!!! Pos a Benelli Letizia. A friend also mentioned an AVE one they don't use much, TE7? D cycle discovery 7

If you buy a ready made bike that doesn't have a throttle, is there any way to convert it so it does have a throttle as well as pedal assist?

Haven't cycled in a long time due to health until I hired a freego hawk recently. In three days I cycled 90km - not evenly split either and was absolutely fine. They did swap the seatpost for one with suspension, and put on a gel saddle, but the thing that made the biggest difference was the...

Still haven't ruled out a woosh bike - pos santana, just need to work out when we can get there!

Many thanks for the replies - more to research! On a first glance though I can't see that throttles are in the kits/on the bikes. Have I missed them or are they not available with these ones? I do need/want a throttle!
