    New Gtech ebike

    Just bear in mind that GTech are VERY good at marketing...... If you have a look at the Woosh site, or EBikes Direct, you will see how much you can get for £1000. For example, this one on EBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281744168836?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is...

    Battery Solution for difficult Bikes

    I ordered a new battery from Jimmy at BGA, a 15AH SilverFish battery with Panasonic cells. He built me one with Boston Power 'Swing' cells, which he assures me have a longer cycle life and it has more capacity. See fuzzy photo attached. This is the second battery I have bought from this firm. I...

    what milage life from 10.4ah for work related all year round users

    I've just been in touch with BGA, and Jimmy is very helpful. He offered to re-cell my battery with some very good cells, but I need my bike all the time. I have done 4500 miles on the battery I bought from him in July 2015. If it lasts to the two years, that is £2 per week for my transport over...

    anyone got tried cycleeze ainsman rear hub bike

    Yes Mr Woosh, you supply good backup as well! That's the crucial thing when one's bike is in daily use. I have found some really good bikes on Alibaba, going the central battery way, but they don't seem to make it to the UK.

    Bottom bracket

    Well, the one I received is 150mm long. Not sure of the shell width, as it's screwed into the bike. The bottom bracket shell width of the bike itself is 80mm.

    Who makes these? Ebike search challenge!

    I started looking at this type of bike, after I found the Juiced Bikes version. Some are electric, some would be easy to convert: http://ezeebike.com/gallery/i-omega/ https://shop.juicedbikes.com/collections/e-bikes/products/u500-january-2016-delivery https://www.orbea.com/gb-en/ebikes/katu-e-50...

    anyone got tried cycleeze ainsman rear hub bike

    What are 'modern trends'? Expensive and complicated are two words that come to mind. Many of us want something simple and practical, with good spares backup. Cyclezee seem to cover all that.

    Bottom bracket

    Did you ever get this problem sorted? Juicy bikes do a bottom bracket, in their spares department. I got mine from there, but it's not symmetrical. It's done me 4500 miles, but I am only just working on getting the chainline exactly right...

    Converting a Dutch bike to electric

    Does it have to be a Dutch bike? This link is to the frame I bought: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2014-Newest-26-inch-Single-Bend-Mountain-Bike-Bicycle-Road-Bike-Bicycle-Frame/1413140_2030626495.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.JzOZhd It's almost identical to the original Woosh Santana I...

    Juiced Bikes new video.

    http://www.juicedbikes.com/ there is a new video appeared on this site for 2017. He certainly does not stand still with regard to his designs. Not everything to my taste, but his cargo bike still stands out. There are a lot of 20 inch-wheeled bikes around now, even one on 50 Cycles, but they...

    Recumbent delivery vehicles

    https://electricbikereport.com/ebike-news-dhl-cubicycle-more-bikes-than-cars-expo-highlights-video-cam-light-more-videos/ I thought this looked promising. Amazing how the German Post Office has bought more electric bikes, while ours just drives around in vans, chucking the delivery man/woman out...

    Electric bike under£1000

    There is a 1 in 4 at Milland, near Liphook, and I think Harting Hill is as well, although the Tour de France bods went up it quite fast! I walked down it with my bike with a trailer on the back, very cautiously! Yes, 1 in 4 is steep.

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    Sorry, no offence! I've got a habit of saying the wrong thing, and emails just aren't the same as speaking face to face. I will still recommend Woosh for the service I received when I bought mine, and will keep watching your range.

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    For the first time ever, a cyclist came alongside me to talk, just a couple of days ago. (We were on a closed bus route). He asked about my bike, with no rude comments, and told me he had built his, but the deep rims caught the wind! I do not want a 'stealthy' electric bike - I am not ashamed! I...

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    Good to see the central battery mounting. It looks right, and it puts the weight in the right place. Now, if the Big Bear LS had its battery where the original Santana battery was mounted, you would be on the right road! If you study all the expensive German offerings, they have central...

    Pro-Rider bikes.

    Has anyone any experience of these bikes? http://www.proriderleisure.com/leisure/electric-bikes/e-tourer-electric-bike-red.html It seems very similar to the Woosh Santana I bought over three years ago, for £625, yet this is priced at £599. The firm looks very supportive. It may appeal to people...

    Panda Bikes any advice!

    And me! Very helpful, front motor kit gets me where I want every day at a good price. (£220?) About a year and a half now.

    Disillusioned

    Have you tried this firm? http://www.bga-reworking.co.uk/e-bike-batteries/insat-li-nmc-ebike-battery-10ah-24v-36v-48v.html I bought a 15ah battery from them for just over £200, about 17 months ago. It still seems to have good capacity, and you can get your battery re-celled by BGA, as an option.

    Gepida Reptila 1000 (2016 model) - First impressions

    Thanks for that review. It's a firm I've never heard of, with bikes I've never heard of! Always willing to learn.

    Elise Electric Explorer from bicycles4u

    No, I've never bought anything from Cyclezee, but I have emailed the man that runs it in Milton Keynes, when trying to make a decision on what to buy. He has been on this site for a long time, so I assume him to be reputable! If you have a look at YouTube for Ezee bikes, they are very thorough...
