Hi all. Thanks for all of the hints, tips and advice. The most useful of which was to get out there and try to ride some bikes for myself. I learned many things from my riding of the bikes that were contrary to my thoughts initially. For those interested, I opted for a bike that was bang...

Trex - thanks for the advice on the Woosh bikes. I think I'll get a Bermuda. It looks like it will be a good simple commuter bike for my short but hilly route. I have a question about batteries. You can get a 13AH or a 15AH. I see the 15AH will get you further. I am interested in whether the...

Thanks Bob - I'll consider popping along. Question for any Woosh experts: what is the difference between Bali and the Bermuda? Are they the same spec? I'm interested in buying one of these, but can't seem to separate the two. Sorry if I'm being daft! o_O

Thanks for the replies already. Rob - thanks for the advice about avoiding bikes with torque sensors. That is really helpful. I will keep that in mind and try to test out a few types of bike. I will be able to apply some pressure to pedals and hope, touch wood, that my energy levels increase...

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on my first electric bike. Until last year I was super sporty, but after a bout of glandular fever, now suffer from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). I am now unable to walk far without being exhausted. The most pressing issue is getting to work. I am...
