    48V TSDZ2 (250W) are now in stock

    Just decided to go down your recommended route but when I tried to order the Marin they only have 15" frame size, even for me to small. I am 5' 8" 29" inside leg. Any other recommendations keeping as lightweight as possible, or is there any sign of your lightweight bike yet?

    Small bike - Woosh Gale?

    My wife is also 5' 2 and weighs about 8st. She to looked at both of these bikes and went for the Petite which you can get with a large battery. Do not see the weight distribution thing, with bikes this heavy it makes little difference.

    Looking for advice to buy my first bike

    My wife has a Woosh Petite, she to is 5'2" and weighs about 8st. It will cope with the distances you quote, she has the 15ah battery. It comes with a good leaflet on basis maintenance and repairs and Woosh themselves are very helpful.

    Hi from Llandudno

    I ride parts of this route on a regular basis from Kinmel Bay. I would tend to avoid now until end of August unless you go early morning or late evening. The problem is people with dogs wandering all over the place with those expanding dog leads and no control. It is a good easy and scenic cycle...

    Sure they do, but they are not old, unfit blokes, suggest you to read my report of this. How many watts, no idea.

    is there ca descent hill climber for £1000 omiting big bear

    My Woosh Bermuda climbed a major Pyrenees col in June, you can read my report on this in thread entitled 'France on a Woosh' so cannot see it would have much trouble on a climb as short as the one you describe.

    Towbar cycle carriers suitable for heavy bike

    Thule told me no, it is not advisable to carry any bike over the individual load rating of the rack, so 15kg a bike means just that. I have a Thule 916 rack that is rated at 30kg a bike, bought it from Decathalon for £260 including postage

    France on a Woosh

    Since starting this thread I have done a lot more miles on my bike and now understand things a little better, at least I think so. I am back to the alps in September and intend to find a 2000 mtr col to have a go at but a couple of things that came out of this thread worry me. A couple of people...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    I am an ebike novice but like a throttle, I find it usefull when making hill starts. As for the cops stopping you it will not happen. Ignore the cheap Chinese electrics jibe, some people just like living in the past.
