In the grand scheme no, but if you only read one thread you miss the finer details of the requirements, so in that sense I find it annoying, and it happens too often.
This raises another point, how to reduce punctures to a minimum? Can the tyres on any ebike be easily upgraded? Are bike tyres standard?
As a matter of courtesy we do explain how to reconfigure our bike throttles to take advantage of local laws where throttles to 15mph are allowed.
besides avoiding debris and potholes, keep your tyres inflated to the recommended pressure.
You've worked hard on this and dealt with the snipes well. Where are you located in the event I buy a woosh, which is on the short list.
No, I don't think so. The rack breaking was the last straw. The gear derailleur needed replacing; the seatpost bolt didn't work & was replaced; the saddle was terrible and was replaced; the suspension seatpost was cheap & nasty; the suspension forks were heavy and ineffective (& were about to be replaced); the front brake was weak and replaced with an Avid BB7 and the Kenda tyres were puncture-prone. I got it secondhand with 200 miles on the clock and it lasted <1000 miles more before I gave up on it. The battery and motor were very good, but the basic machine they were fitted to wasn't.
yes in the past (Sundowner, Sunbear, Zephyr CDN), but currently only the Gallego has Nexus hubgear. Woosh may still have Sunbears in stock, but they have larger frame and 700C wheels, you need to be 5ft11 or more to be comfortable on it. The Sunbear has Nexus 7-speed.

Does the sunbear have a throttle?
Im 178cm tall, I prefer low step, had a nasty accident on a top bar when I was a kid. How old is the design of this bike?yes, PAS, full throttle, LCD, 15AH, 7-speed.
It has the same electrics as the Big Bear but in low step large frame.
The main difference is the Nexus-7 hub gear and fully enclosed chainguard.
