    Bike theft vs comfort

    I'm 6'2" with 34" inside leg and 100kg and ride the Woosh Zephyr (2017) and have no problem with the seat height. I did replace the seat post because I had an issue with the original one letting the saddle slip but that was just £17 from Halfords. I also now run it at power level 3 or 4 so I get...

    Why does every eBike seem to advertise a 20-30 mile range?

    Fair enough. I'll try doing that. Especially when I start cycling to work which is a 20k round trip.

    Yes I must admit I do go straight to level 5. Time to man up a bit!

    Why does every eBike seem to advertise a 20-30 mile range?

    I do a tour of local pubs at the weekend which is only about 10 miles and can do 2 weeks between charges on my Zephyr B. 3 may be possible but I don't want to risk it so get around 20 miles with one bar left. But then I am over 100kg but there are only moderate hill changes. What I was not sure...

    Looking into e-bike for 3 mile commute in Norfolk (hill free!)

    Be careful of first impressions. I took delivery of my Woosh Zephyr B yesterday and went out for a ride in the cold and a little snow. When I got back I was wondering if an e-bike was the thing for me. However if you are already a cyclist that won't be an issue for you. Fortunately I adjusted...

    Battery fire - Hannover ebike shop

    The Samsung debacle has highlighted the potential dangers of faulty batteries. But it must be said the battery has to be faulty or badly treated before it will cause any problems. Love the translation though!

    Video Cameras

    I quite like the look of that as it appears to be good quality. The weight would put me off using it as a head cam though.

    Some would say I would look even more like Tinky Winky, Lala or Po than I already do...

    Video Cameras

    Has anyone any good advice for small lightweight camera to use on a bike or helmet? I have one in the car and it is useful. GoPro seem very pricy. This looks quite good: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NA7HTCO/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1486330592&sr=8-24&keywords=bicycle+cameras

    Advice please for a "commuter bike"

    Well I have taken the plunge and ordered a Woosh Zephyr B. I can go cross country to a nearby town for a beer at weekends which costs me £12 in taxi fares at the moment. I can see a potential 10km route to work mostly on a bridleway which would be ideal. I had twice tried to contact GTECH...

    Hydrogen Powered bikes

    A hydrogen store and fuel cell will certainly not deliver on that score! It would provide a large increase in range and offer fast refuelling. A trade off as ever, at least with current technology.

    Hydrogen Powered bikes

    It will come for cars, more refuelling stations are appearing http://www.itm-power.com/sectors/clean-fuel Not sure it will be a game changer for bikes though.
