We're not that far away in Devon if you want to try some different bikes. Check out our website for details. http://www.bikehigher.co.uk

Yes, saw those at the NEC last year. Very nice.

Saw this outside Exeter Library last Saturday. Be nice with an electric conversion.

Not in hilly areas it isn't.

I think this bargain Kalkhoff would be ideal in 55cm frame. http://www.50cycles.com/electric-bikes/urban/sahel_premium_i360_harmony.html Admittedly a lot more than the Woosh but a super quality bike. I don't think you would need to worry too much about the weight warning on the Woosh.

Whilst each person is different, the 50cm (medium) frame is usually selected for your height. See size guide on this link. http://www.kalkhoff-bikes.com/en/e-bike-info/frame.html

You should be able to cycle up anything (slowly in the right gear) with the crank motor and your own effort. I have ridden up 30% hills with the Kalkhoff Impulse 1 motor (and I'm quite a bit older and heavier than you!). The Bosch motor is not as powerful as the Impulse but in the right gear 20%...

Some people I have met are very happy with their Giants but on the whole they are not considered that powerful. It's difficult because Giant seem to change the motors they use every couple of years. The motor on the bikes you list are different to the ones I have seen previously so might be much...

The Woosh website says that it is good at climbing average hills but you would better off with a crank drive (CD) model if you live in a very hilly area. The Mountain Bike style will not be to everyone's liking, As the motor is geared for climbing it will be less efficient for travelling fast.

A place not far from us designs and sells them. I've seen them at a few local shows. http://www.electric-quad-bikes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=2

How about this with 29" wheels. £5549

The 400 refers to the battery and will increase your range but not effect the power. I believe the Bosch "Active" motor will not be any more powerful. You need the "Performance" motor for additional power.

For me the Cube looks a good bike and seems pretty good value. As you will already have experienced though, the crank drive will feel different to the hub motors you seem to prefer.

Hi Paul, I'm just down the road at Stibb Cross, there's certainly plenty of hills to choose from. It would be interesting to see how the Big Bear compares to some of the bikes I have. I've never had the opportunity to try a Woosh bike. Mill St up from Taddiport to Torrington is my hill of...

When I tried out the Bosch (2013 motor) and Panasonic (26v) I found the Bosch slightly noisier than the Impulse and the Panasonic slightly quieter. I wouldn't say any are exactly noisy compared with the Dapu hub motor on our Wisper but the noise is more noticeable than the Xion hub motor which...

The A2B is a very different bike. Generally people who have them love them. The motor is powerful but it has to be with the extra weight. The range is limited , as it is with the BH Neo Extrem. I'm surprised you thought they were a similar ride.

Graham, we have a range of Kalkhoff, Juicy Bikes and a Wisper that you can try out in North Devon. If nothing else, a couple of hours trying out some different bikes will help you decide what to concentrate on and the types of motor you prefer. Our bikes cover the price range from about £900 -...

Lots of steps. Here's a picture I took of it a couple of years ago.

Tintagel Castle is worth a visit if you have any energy left at the end of the day.

Welcome Roy. If you have a look at the advertisers on here you should find a reasonable selection of sub £1k bikes. The most important thing is to try some bikes out before making a decision. How easy this is depends where you are. I think you'll probably find something better than the Raleigh...
