Introducing the new Woosh Bermuda
- Thread starter trex
- Start date
Well it looks a good solid bike to me, ideal for general use if you are not the show off kind.
Only pity is that is not crank driven.
I expect that Woosh will sell you a throttle separately.

it has a thumb throttle on the left side that you can unplug.
The crank drive version in this frame is the Bali:

@ trex,
that seems a heck of a lot of bike for the price.
the frame size looks on the small side though, is it?
is there a ladies variant?
also what sort of price does it come in at with the 15Ah battery - pm me if you wish.

My first thought! It is "womens" frame, ladies don't ride bicycles
, ladies is what is now called step through so that older men don't get upset... 
That's interesting! I searched the other day for 'How many gears does an ebike need?', and found this:
http://thorncyclesforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7833.0 which seemed a very informed piece. I liked my Santana, but felt I only needed three gears, so built my own. Woosh bikes do seem solid and well finished,but have trended to that horrible battery on a rack which, I saw described recently, as like riding with a child on the back. Much better in the centre of the frame. Keep up the good work.
That makes no sense, once the saddle is at the correct height for the rider it is just like any other bike in terms of contact points.
A bike with a shallow seat angle like the one below does allow for a lower saddle and correct seat to pedal length, but means the knee is wrongly positioned behind the pedal spindle. That may not be of much importance to buyers of that type of bike though.

You can see that the top of seat tube is low compared to the top of the head tube. At its lowest setting, the saddle will be only a couple of inches above the rear rack.
Other than that, the front of the saddle on the Bermuda is classically placed vertically above the bottom bracket.
5ft7 is OK.
compare that to a Kalkhoff, clearly designed for tall people.

I could see it had normal geometry, hence why I highlighted a bike that hadn't. My post could perhaps have been clearer.
Regardless the low saddle Hutch sees won't be so low once at the correct height.
At the extreme is the Gazelle Balance.
The saddle is set far back, chopper motorbike style, so you can pedal with the correct leg extension, but still put your feet flat on the ground while sitting on the saddle.
Disadvantage is pedalling in such a position reduces the amount of power you can put on the pedals.
Not so important on an ebike.
