The problem is, what if you keep your ebike in the toolshed? However secure the brick walls and any rings that might be bolted to them through which a bike could be secured, there could be a powered angle grinder inches away from the bike.....

I'm on my second TS kit from Woosh now. Not that there was anything wrong with the first thugh, quite the reverse. The first one went on my bike and is so brilliant that my wife wanted one for her bike too. I have a front hub, she has a rear hub motor. So much nicer than a cadence sensor we both...

Thanks - I've seen double panniers that are permanently connected to each other but wonder how practical they are? Thinking ease of carrying when off the back. Also do you have to just drape them over the rack or can you secure them so they don't slide off?

Having just got a wonder new new Woosh Santana (more anon) I need recommendations for suitable panniers. Neither my trusty Carradice nor my Alturas will fit as the rack tubes are too thick and the clearance between rack and battery is insufficient. What bag or bags would go over the rear rack...

What about the Santana3 which fits what I'm looking for nicely?

The Rambla is not showing in your online shop - how does one order it or is there a waiting list? Actually I had my eye on the Santana - can that be modified to accomodate your torque sensor or is that a lost cause?

And continuing that theme, on the strength of my conversion my wife is now looking at getting herself an ebike. I can't tell from the Woosh website which models have torque sensors and which have cadence sensors - or whether you can swap them round to whatever the customer wants. Can you advise?

How can it even get warm if you are cycling at 20mph? I thought they cut out at 15.5mph?

I have a torque sensor front hub set up. I know in theory that should be less efficient than a torque sensor crank motor. However, on flat level ground I tend to cruise at around 18mph so just over the cut off (with good aerodynamics as I have drop bars). That means my motor is in use...

Heard a right racket coming up the street the other day. Expecting to see a youth in bandana on a quadbike I was bemused when the "thing" shot past me to see it was a pedal cycle with a petrol engine attached. I was too surprised and the rider was too fast to actually see where the engine was...

I converted my Dawes touring bike with a Woosh front kit as I couldn't find a suitable dedicated touring ebike. I use mine more for commuting along canal paths but want the freedom to do some road touring too. Touring bikes seem to have sort of evolved into "gravel bikes" or "adventure bikes" so...

Very happy with my Woosh XF07 front conversion. Hub gear meant rear motor was out for me. Ride is certainly firm though I put my that down at least as much to my Marathon Pluses. I want a low maintenance commuter and crank motors sounded like too much maintenance. Another big plus for the Woosh...

The Dutch style bike earlier would really need a crank motor to get full value from it because its front wheel has a dynamo. Lighting is the one catch with a front hub motor rear hub gear configuration - I had to fit a botttle dynamo (shhhhh!) to my Woosh conversion. Bit noisy but it works and I...

No comfort to anyone who's paid their deposit yet is stuck without a bike at the moment but there is something positive about the thought that for once, bike sales this year have vastly outstripped demand.

Granted, when climbing a hill hub gears are harder as you momentarily lose power unlike a derailleur where you keep the power on throughout the change. They win hands down over derailleurs when changing while stationary e.g. traffic junctions. Possibly better suited to commuting than racing or...

Well here we are, a couple of months after the conversion and so far very happy (though obviously not a lot of chance to ride). XF07 front wheel with torque sensor kit on an old Dawes utility bike with ancient steel drop handlebars (which is how I accomodated the motor controller and gear...

I have a Woosh XF07 front hub with torque sensor. The chain is a single point of failure since if it falls off or snaps I can't pedal home. However the amount of stress on the chain is probably less than it would be under leg only power since the motor is doing some of the work and very...

Buy cheap buy twice - had my Carradice Super C rear panniers for years. No idea how they stay in business as it's going to be many more years before I ever need any more. Actually recommendations like that is undoubtedly how they stay in business.

Robust chain especially if going for a crank drive; brakes as you will be adding the best part of 10kg to your bike's weight; maybe lights - you probably won't be able to tap off the ebike battery.

I recently fitted a Woosh XF07 to my front wheel. Dead easy conversion, wheel and tyre swap, new bottom bracket with torque sensor and chainset on right side, drill holes in downtube to mount battery (bottle holder lugs in the wrong place, clamp LCD to handlebars, wire up. The bike speed is set...
