You have a 48volt 14amp battery and you can't get 20 miles out of it? What sort of bike do you have?

But on the other hand. A 10 speed chain wares faster than a 9 and the higher drain on the battery means less range. The old Panasonic got me up baths hills ok. So if there is a cheaper one available with out a wait don't dismiss it.

Hi Craig welcome to the forum. Please up date the review when you have had the bike some time. It's also a good idea not to mention derestricting. It could make you traceable. Happy pedalling

Back in the seventies when I had my first cycling cape it was wet!:D

Like all men sensitive to the finer points ;) Jackhandy

The power needed to take the sweat out of the ride is quite small on a good road bike. A hundred watts extra would transform most cyclists giving them a higher speed or less effort government estimate is 250 watt for average cyclist. So an keep the same speed for 150 watts of effort or go...

The real heretic might look at a recumbent? If you are doing over 16 on manual then there is very little a legal over the counter electric bike can do. A good bike like a kalhoff will help on the up hills to keep at 15mph ish and you work the down hill and flats for 20+ to keep up the ave speed...

I tended to ride with minimal assist unless the hill was big and then I went up long steep hill at a good pace without a coronary. The torque can be easy as well as intuitive.

As I understand it speed sensor says pedals moving so provide power to specified level. Good for knackered who want the bike to go even if they are not really propelling the bike themselves. A variant on a throttle! Torque sensors pick up on the pressure you put on the pedal and add to it in a...

Rob why is high cadence not good on the sundowner?

Hattie. In my opinion. So far you appear very reasonable and responsible. Whoosh is a budget brand and your service is as good as many at a good price. You remain my best budget buy recommendation. Others here are falling in my esteem. Please continue doing business your company is...

Frankie if you are doing 15 mph as you suggest then the whoosh will really cut the sweat down for you. (8km in 18 mins). Don't worry too much about the hill climb as it's only part of your 24 mile commute. You need long term assist over the full distance. So the 15 amps 36 volts should provide...

The sirocco 2 should cruse 200 m climb in three miles. It's your heart lung combo that casts any doubt. If you are happy to go slow at first and speed up with your fitness then the whoosh is fine. (Most bikes are really,they can all assist and give you more miles for less sweat) just some are...

Fordulike Why should you not pay taxes. They pay for my grandmothers pension, hospital treatment etc. I pay tax so do most honest men. Why should you not pay?

Obvious point the bad bike was bad with both batteries?

Dm A simple explanation is the couriers are cheap and poor service. But you have got a budget brand bike.

Lots of info but still better if you tell us how far you want to go and if you want to travel quickly?

The speed limit on electric bikes will take some getting used to. If you can engage bimble mode and relax then the whoosh and similar will make local trips a sweat free experience. Personally to maintain a bike like ride one of the second hand quality bikes like the kalhoffs with Panasonic...

An electric bike will make you lazy but. If you want to legally do 20 then you need to get a manual bike and work hard. But if you can't ride hard then electric bikes keep you on the road

It seams a bit pricey for a gear system not much different to Shimano/sturmley archer. And an enclosed chain as all comfort bikes used to be.
