It's got a disc brake. The wheel only fits between the forks one way besides which the wheel hasn't been removed & the cabling hasn't been touched.

Woosh converted a couple of bikes for my wife & I about 18 months ago with XF07 front hubs. We have moved house & my bike was in store for a few months. Today I pumped up the tyres & charged the battery. All seemed good except it’s unrideable because the front wheel is running backwards! I...

You can buy a 5V battery power bank sufficient to recharge a phone several times over for a few pounds. I have a 12V battery pack the size of a paperback that can jump start my Range Rover. Perhaps there is scope for an external portable battery pack to plug in & recharge an ebike with a...

Thanks for the link but as far as I am concerned the easiest solution is just to buy an identical battery & swap it over so I was hoping that someone would recognise the type of battery that I have from the photographs. I hope that I'm not going to be reduced to swapping over the controller too.

The battery on my wife's Woosh Petite is on its way out & doesn't hold charge or have the necessary "oomph" on hills any more. Woosh won't have any replacement batteries in stock until the end of May & Jimmy quoted a rebuilding cost of £375 for 14Ah or £450 for 18Ah which is a bit pricey even if...

I use an old iPhone 6 just for BikeMap & have a Quadlock mount on three of of our bikes to hold it. BikeMap lets you record & share routes. www.bikemap.com

A set of jiggler keys solved my problem of a lost key for a Woosh Big Bear in seconds https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/lost-keys-what-can-be-done.38980/

Quadlock are a bit pricey & require you to use the bulky Quadlock case for the phone but are very well made & 100% reliable. I use an old iPhone 6 just for Google Maps, Tom Tom & BikeMap etc & have a Quadlock mount on three of of our bikes to hold it.

There is more to the story than was originally reported. The £100,000 costs was a bit of spin & media exaggeration. The guy eventually settled & most of it was covered by a crowdfunding appeal. The judge had ruled that both were equally to blame for the accident on a busy junction near London...

We have now bought three used Woosh bikes at 30-40% the price of a new one. A Petite at £450 for the wife & a Sundowner at £500 & a Big Bear at £345 for me. All in exceedingly good condition & very low mileage (just 26 miles on the Big Bear) & despite being up to six years old none of the...

As noted re-celling is not cheap but the quote I had from Jimmy of £300 for my 8.8A battery would have upgraded it to 14A & the price included collection & return by courier.

How long do the batteries last on those GPS trackers? There is no mention in the specs.

Just a quick update. It took all of 30 seconds to unlock with one of mid-size jiggler keys so I now have the battery off & charged. Thanks for the suggestion. I doubt a locksmith would have charged just £14.95 & I am now set up for when we lose other keys. I still need to remove the lock to...

Bikemap is a good app. You can record your own journeys & upload for other & download routes to try yourself. Google Maps is free & good for directions. I've had the TomTom app on my iPhone for over 10 years mostly use it when driving but as a satnav it's the best. As noted headphones are a...

My RANGE ROVER V8 4.6L does a very creditable 18+mpg :)

Perfect! I'm interested in being able to easily remove the battery from the bike for storage or security & not too bothered about the likelihood of somebody else removing the battery especially as it will appear to be locked.

Thanks for all the suggestions I'll let you know how I get on. This business with the lock has made me realise that my wife & I now have 5 bike battery locks (currently only 4 keys:)). It would be great if we had 5 locks all the same so we only needed one key. You can easily buy multiple keys...

Thanks I really like this suggestion. It will be cheaper than getting a locksmith & I'm always happy to acquire new skills & picking locks could lead to a whole new career opportunity :)

Thanks for the suggestion. The battery is locked onto the bike so drilling out the lock is going to be the cheapest course of action.

I have just bought a secondhand Woosh Big Bear from one of their customers advertised on their website https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand so I'm pretty sure it's not stolen:) Unfortunately the seller has lost the keys. It's in great condition as although it's 6 years old it's only done 26...
