I can sort of see how a speed based controller might suit some people, especially with the legal 15.5 mph limit. You choose the speed you want to travel at, the controller increases or decreases the power to maintain that speed depending on incline, power supplied by the rider, terrain, etc

Because I viewed the ex display model on eBay,I got a follow up offer on eBay saving 15%, making the price £509, if you wanted to put in an offer

Let us know if you go for one of those options, it seems a very good bike by all accounts and the one that @saneagle bought is being used daily as I understand

No - not likely to offer again - available here https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/electric-bikes/hub-driven/e-plus-pulse-hybrid-electric-bike-27-5in-wheels-black-red or ex display https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204586566863 or used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197082952019

That wouldn't work very well with cheap hub motored bikes where the motor efficiency reduces dramatically with speed, so at less than 7 or 8 mph on high power levels the controller would quickly overheat

On my estate there are lots of retired people that seem quite affluent. Lots of them have the latest Bosch powered mountain bike that cost many thousands of pounds, with very sophisticated suspension, gears and technology that they religously get serviced every year, but the most they do is...

@AntonyC had to go and try it myself . I couldn't understand it from the photo

I think you would be able to buy a new KT controller and Display and attach this to your bike and motor but it would not have the light / brake light capability

Looks good, but doesn't this need a groupset with hydraulic brake levers ? My groupset has cable levers, and I don't think you can just change the brake levers, it's all integrated, need to change the groupset which is very expensive !

Haha, that does look tricky in the photos, must be an optical illusion, just used a standard Allen key, can't remember any difficulty to it !

So that was all stupidly easy I used the adapters off the old cable tektro calipers. All fitted very easily, no rubbing, didn't need to adjust anything. Went out for a test ride - it's miles better, I can lock the rear wheel up now. Much less effort and better modulation. Possibly not...

Good opportunity to upgrade Controller and Display !

Looks great - seems like a good price - hydraulic disc brakes, thats a good size battery too. May you have many years of happy pedelecing !

I don't see the difference with "250w " rated Bosch motors that can reach 28 mph : https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/why-are-bosch-motors-only-250-watts.43396/ It they were having a crackdown surely it is more likely they would go after Bosch because of the numbers of motors...

No, the throttle is optional and, if you buy from Woosh the motor is rated at 250w by the manufacturer and this is marked on the motor (similarly the Bosch motors are way over 250w peak power but are rated as 250w max continuous power) Just make sure in the settings to set max assist speed to...

I have followed lots of forum advice in general and @saneagle 's advice in particular ! I am a similar weight and have a 48v rear hub bike and a 48v mid drive bike - either would be excellent. I slightly prefer the hub drive for road use as the motor power isn't going through the chain line and...

Yep - get hydraulic disc brakes for Ebike. It's sometimes hard to predict from specs, not sure the torque figures quoted are always comparable. Would definitely have a ride of a few, even if you have to hire them for a few hours. My sister had a Bosch powered Ebike which has lasted 10 years...

https://ebikesolution.co.uk/blogs/news/sine-wave-vs-square-wave I've got a woosh 20Ah 36v (720Wh) battery that is performing very well after 3 years. (My niece is using it at Uni for getting round Newcastle) I think Woosh make some thoughtful choices on their bike specs, eg the Camino has...

In that case buy a nice secondhand bike off eBay with disc brakes, a frame triangle big enough to put a battery on the downtube, quick release wheels and a square taper bottom bracket and fit an e-bike kit. You can do your own maintenance and upgrade components if you want You need to take...
