    Less chance of arrest on a Woosh!

    Now before you all get excited...none of these is me. (I was working yer honour, 'onest). This ecology-based protest took place in London yesterday. Those partaking stripped off, jumped on their bikes and pedalled away as fast as they could, avoiding arrest for indecent exposure amongst other...

    For anyone interested, the Woosh Sirocco and Santana chain drives will come in larger frame sizes from mid June onwards. Frame size 20", wheel size 700C (28"). (Too big for me I'm afraid, I'm 5 ft 2"!) Price will be the same. Hatti

    Your views on possible Woosh crank drive kit

    Having had quite a bit of interest in our chain drive bikes, I am thinking of possibly offering a kit. This would consist obviously of the motor, controller and battery with optional handlebar controls, and would perhaps (perhaps) be offered through bike shops. Cost to customer circa £500 or...

    How to keep warm?

    Down here in sunny Southend (this afternoon) it actually isn't half as bad as some of you bods have got it further north, but I'm still put off going out biking at the moment due to the cold. Nipped out yesterday wearing: 2 pairs socks, thermal walking socks over them, pair of tights, then...

    The Great E- Bike Bank Heist

    What with the gloomy weather and our wonderful recession, I think a major bank heist (by us) might be in order. We could then all add a bit to our pensions and no longer fret at night. Having seen on the telly smash and grabs and other robberies done on motorbikes lately, I'm thinking along the...

    Dating in your 50s

    Someone I know, and no, its not me, I am spoken for (although dinner with George Clooney (is that how you spell it?) wouldn't go amiss)..... would very much like a new man in her life. Nothing complicated, just companionship. She is a really nice person, slim, attractive, intelligent, good...

    Sterling decline = Woosh price increases

    Sterling has now declined against the US dollar to the lowest point since July 2010. The pound is now $1.52, down from $1.62, equalling a drop of 6.3%. Against the euro, the pound has fallen slightly more, from E1.23 to E1.15. This will affect all of us, especially spending on petrol, food...

    Insurance problems

    A customer of ours would like to insure his Sirocco (he bought it a few weeks ago), but has had refusals from 3 companies on the basis that the motor exceeds 200watts. Our insurers only deal with trade/companies so we can't put him on to them. We can of course say that the bike conforms to...

    Suspension changes for chain drive?

    We are just debating about chain drive bikes. One of the guys here thinks it might be better to do away with front suspension and just have rear suspension. in his view the bike would handle better and not feel 'front heavy'. Others not too sure. What do members think, I'd be interested to...

    Cheeky young blighter!

    Just had a ten year old kid waltz though the door asking about electric bikes. Told him he'd have to wait 4 years. 'Nah' he replied. 'My Mum'll get me one for Christmas'. Looking sternly at him over the top of my glasses I told him it would be illegal and besides, would cost her upwards of...

    Bafang 350W 48V rear motor - what's your view?

    We are considering offering this motor as an option on some models to enable heavy weights to get up hills. We currently get called several times a day by riders over 120Kgs and know they will struggle with a standard 250w version up steep inclines. We would still limit the controller so the...
