May I as your advices, I'm looking for an ebike for my father he is 75 years old, 80kg, 1m70, lives in Marseilles France which is a hilly area, he would like a comfortable (at least front suspension) bike with a chain drive motor.

I was thinking about the Woosh Santana CD 15ah is this a good choice or do you have another bike in that price range in mind?


Thanks for your time

Hello Roscop,

The santana CD is out of stock at the moment.

The next batch of Santana CD will have some changes:

- Suntour NEX fork
- 9-speed Deore gearset (SL-M590-9R)
- X9 ePT chain (rust proof)
- Tektro hydraulic brakes front and rear with sensor
- gear shift sensor

The new Santana CD arrives mid October.

Great thank you Woosh for your answer, do you have the price range of the new version?

Anyone, is there any other alternatives of other brands?

the exchange rate £/dollar has improved a bit recently, I think the new Santana CD would probably go for £1,079 with 15AH battery in October.

I also see that Woosh have the Krieger 2017, how does it compare to the Santana CD 2017?

Will the santana-cd will also come with 17ah battery?

Thanks

the new Santana CD (2017) has better components, better fork, hydraulic brakes, better derailleur (Deore 9-speed) and costs about £100 more than the Krieger with 15AH battery.
We don't have 17AH battery for it yet until spring 18.
