Coming to this event with the intention of either buying a bike on the day or placing an order for one, looking at list of bikes there i am slightly dissapointed not to see Woosh there, considering the praise they get on her I'm puzzled as to why there not exhibiting, i quite fancied trying out there crank drive bikes.

Bristol is mainly for dealers showing off big brands - Woosh don't sell other brands so I don't think they are invited. All pedelecers are of course encouraged to come and join in.
By the way, the Big Bear and Big Bear LS (Bear in low step frame) are their top bikes now

The Kudos Eiger might be there. It has the same motor, so you can get an idea of the power. The Eiger has Nuvinci CVT gears, which a bit different, but you should still get a good idea what the motor's like.

 

[denwyn]

Pity there not there, but I now can see why. Ill look at the Kudos if its here, may give me some idea what the Woosh would be like. Wouldnt be buying a Kudos bike though.

 

[D8ve]

D8ve how will I find you?
Or is it easier to spot me and family.

Crikey, you're even confusing yourself now, or are you talking to yourself. Have a look down; see those feet? That's D8ve!

If it's me you want, the guys on the Oxygen stand will be able to point me out. Just ask for the good-looking one. They'll know who you mean.

If I ask for the good looking one they will just have to hold up a mirror

Big thanks to all that came and made this another great day - even the weather behaved itself
