Thanks for all the replies. - sjpt Can't remember much about the 70's :) - woosh I now have reference photos of the whole procedure, so i should(!) get it right next time :) georgehenry - thanks, that confirms what I thought and I mentioned it in a previous post. Nice to have another person...

After 1200 miles: The bottom bracket creak turned out to be the bottom bracket! Who knew? So, you-tubers, you don't know everything! I am starting to ride again after a long lay-off due to weather, health, and being employed part-time, which all steal saddle time from you. Currently I am...

OK, next update I will include Santana 3 pics, Scottish Countryside pics and pics of points of interest along the way :)

An update on Santana 3: 900+ miles in, through dry, wet, very wet and Scottish wet weather, 0 punctures (due to Schwalbe Marathon tyres), 0 show stopping breakdowns, 0 running out of charge (17AH Battery, Baby!) and the longest journey is 45 miles, with 25-35 miles being the norm. Back brakes...

Hi Paul, My theory is that by engaging the granny gear I wasn't really contributing to the overall effort, just spinning the cranks, but not really pushing. By the time I was contributing to the overall effort, the hill got steep, the momentum got less and less and neither I nor the electrics...

Yes, I did save a large amount of money, theoretically - I said I wanted an R&M, but really, that was more of a wish than me actually having the money :-) I hadn't checked out the classifieds prior to buying, but that sounds like good advice for anyone contemplating a purchase. As to the Forza...

Woosh Santana 3 Review My bike arrived on the 15th of June 2021, and was unpacked by me (67, male, retired) after 45 minutes of careful instruction reading, careful removal of the (big!) box. The box was damaged, and was noted by the courier as such, but I took pictures anyway. After...

Hi, After two years (plus) lurking here I finally made up my mind and bought an e-bike. It is a Freego Hawk model and I picked it up from the dealer in Glasgow on Saturday and road about 28 miles home on it as a shakedown cruise. About 3 hours after leaving the dealers the bike was in the shed...

Thanks to all for the information freely given. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the e-bike budget has to be used for other things just now, so I am going to do a lot more research, and barring even more unforeseen circumstances, be back again in the winter. Let's hope the Scottish...

D8ve and flecc, Contact details obtained - I'll give them a ring later today. Many thanks for the info, Regards, Shane.

Chainring, I think it was more that the young (at 60, everybody under 30 looks like a schoolkid:D ) sales assistant wasn't clued up on all the products - I'm sure Halfords would get me one in if I ordered it. I did look at the ebco bike, (UCL30), but it fell off the end of the list as the Woosh...

Thank you, Nanny Ogg - experiences from owners are extremely valuable in helping me narrow down the right course of action for me. Regards, Shane

More info into the mix! thanks d8veh, If I go the kit route, I'll look out for this. Regards, Shane

That is a handy bit of information - it's fine reading the spec on a website, but the Sedona is an actual bike that I have seen and had a short test ride on, and I know it can adjust to fit me. Thanks for this - it is this type of information that I (and probably other newbies) value from you...

Hi Trex, The woosh Big Bear LS is a very attractive option, and I can't find any unresolved issues about Woosh or their products on any search of the Internet that I have done. It was the one at the top of my short list. However, this is a big purchase and it pays to take a step back once in a...
