Hi Folks,
Looking to commute and occasionally tour. Live in a hiily area and quite big.
The Woosh Bali has caught my eye. Anyone have any experience of this bike?

Cheers,
Malky

Surprised no one has commented on this yet, I can't specifically help so hopefully someone will soon? Are you able to go and test ride it to see if you like it?

the Bali is an all purpose larger Krieger introduced since February this year to suit riders 5ft8 or taller.
There are a few reviews of the Krieger on this forum but none of the Bali yet, due to it being quite new.
Essentially, it's a crank driven bike fitted with a 15AH battery and an 18A controller. Same 50 - 55 mile range as the Krieger, same 8-speed gearing, same LCD, front and rear quick release 650B wheels, front suspension.

Hi
I brought a bali about a week before they put the price up! Just lucky i guess. Overall its a good bike and a very good hill climber,it goes up a 10% no problem. by the way Im 5` 9`` and 10 stone. I have a hip problem hence the reason I wanted a ebike. Similar to the krieger exept frame size 19inch and tyres 27.5. This makes it a bigger bike. No problems with the electrics as yet. Only two gripes really. 1- battery sleeve on frame could be made more secure
it wobbles a bit. Afraid to overtighten screws lest I damage sleeve. Maybe 3 screws would be better rather than 2. 2- suspension forks. When lifting handle bars, forks make a knocking noise.dont know if this is normal but it is annoying. As I say apart from these gripes a good bike to own and ride

You mean they top out? I think on lower range forks (not sure what your model uses) they use a spring and tend to be a bit strong and allow this to happen...unless you are really heavy

You can tighten the two M5 bolts. Ask woosh for washers for the M5s if you are worried.

Thanks for your reply.. Theres room for a third bolt. I might just have another bolt fitted.
