No throttle? As a first bike, most people would prefer the throttle to torque sensor.

that may be, but I find it difficult to believe it's the case. Woosh sell a lot of CD bikes and they all have the same chain. No other member has reported this problem until now. You said you replaced the chain and the cassette. The chain woosh use is KMC X series for 7-8 speed. The freewheel...

chainslip can be caused by worn teeth on chainring, worn teeth on freewheel and stretched chain. A damaged cog on the freewheel is probably the most frequent cause because the same cog may be used all the time in comparison to the other cogs. Your 14T cog will wear more than 10 times faster...

30 miles a day is pretty hard core in London because of the murderous traffic. Plus you have to watch out for the thieves where you leave your bike. Cwah does this kind of commute for a long time, perhaps he'll be on here later to share his experience with you. If I had to do this, I'd put...

another method is to use an energy meter like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Energy-Power-Volts-Amps-KWH-Meter-Analyzer-Electricity-Usage-Monitor-UK-Plug-/171722934544 you check how much energy is used to recharge your battery to full, take 10% off for conversion loss.

yes, also their Raptor and Forza have rear wheel drive. Most Ezee bikes are front wheel drive.

that's the way to build a brand image.

No, not me. I'd rather have a sub 15kg pedelec.

there are three reasons why woosh install the motor at the front wheel instead of the rear on the Big Bear. 1. reduced risk of damaging the gearbox and of breaking to the spokes on the motor wheel. Unlike motors mounted on the rear wheel of a hardtail, the front motor cannot stall. The Zephyr-b...

Andrew @ oxydrive is not a free loader. His account is a trade account. It has always been for years.

The guy describes the bike as 'fast pedelec' because 'it will decrease the assistance till you reach 28mph'. It seems optimistic to me. I would also read 'has started to take a toll on the battery' as battery is on its last leg. The motor may follow the battery shortly. £200 max.

cwah, didn't you overfeed your motors?

yes, the woosh Zephyr B has rear BPM motor wheel. It will cope with muddy tracks. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?zephyr-b woosh will also introduce shortly the revised Sport bike with rear Bafang SWX02 motor and 15AH battery. The SWX02 has about 90% of the power of the BPM but weighs a lot less.

yes. The electrics will last 14,000 miles. Mechanically, you only need to replace the cheap derailleur.

one bike that I think can do 60 miles a day is the woosh Karoo with 15AH battery. The bike is light, fast, and energy efficient. It has a throttle too. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?karoo

@Jefner As ball park figures, assume that the electrics add £500 to a push bike. You've got £500 left for your push bike. For under £500, which push bike do you like most at present? Then compare the specs of that push bike against ready made e-bikes up to £1500. You get the idea.

Very nice bike. Do you have any experience of the single shock forks?

one the aftermath od the Paris attack, I came across this brillant essay by Adam Shatz of the London Review of Books http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n23/adam-shatz/magical-thinking-about-isis The phrase that stuck in my mind about those nutters is

I am already tilted toward the SWX02. I test rode the GSM before although with the GSM there is the attraction of not having to buy new spokes and relace the motor to the Giant SR2 rim. As I said before, the SWX02 is very quiet and confident with the Lishui 18A HL1260 controller.

the 8-Fun SWX02 has a huge torque although woosh labelled it as 250W. I had absolutely no trouble going up steep hills. I am going to put the GSM on just for comparision. The GSM is about 1.2kg heavier. This is the SWX02 code 12 on woosh santana2...
