they don't weigh more than an MTB, and swing the seat post forward, pull out the battery, dead easy to remove, the front wheel drops out in a few seconds with QR. So where is the problem? example: the Woosh Santana (£625), 10AH battery:

No. That one is ugly. The new Woosh Gallego is one step up from the Zephyr CDN, I saw the graphics, black & orange (I wonder where they got the clue from). Folding mechanism, pedalling speed (Nexus-3) and range are key features.

The Zephyr CDN is comfortable (full suspension), has large wheel base, powerful crank drive, hub gear, good traction (puncture resist 20 x 2.1 tyres), hidden battery and neat wiring. There is simply no better folding bike for under £1000. It does not fold like a ninja though, but the next Woosh...

the point about using Nexus gear on a small bike is the meters development. You can cycle comfortably the Zephyr CDN at 17-19mph at normal cadence (70-80rpm). How fast can you cycle with your Secret?

I think £799 is too high. Similar step through bikes (8-Fun motor, 10AH battery) sell for £600 new with full one year guarantee.

there is no need to be sarcastic Artstu. I do realize that many people buy MTB for that purpose but for a pensioner, 26" on slippery surface feels definitely more scary than 20".

yes, I have, I've never dreamed up something to post. The 20" bike has lower centre of gravity. On slippery surface, it feels much more sure footed. If you have a fall, it's probably less dangerous too. The Zephyr CDN is crank drive with Nexus-3, not a weedy motor and very well balanced. Try it...

the torque is normally measured at the motor shaft.

The Zephyr CDN has Nexus-3 hub gear, you have to listen carefully to hear the gear shift. It's not louder than turning the ignition key. It has only 3 gears but you usually only need 2: 1 (steep hill) and 3. 2 is a bit redundant to be honest. If you see a big hill, switch over to 1, you can...

I can help you comparing the Woosh Zephyr CDN with the Woosh Sirocco CD. Both have the same motor, same controller, the Sirocco CD has a bigger battery but that does not affect the performance of the bike because both batteries have high discharge rate BMS. I tested them the same Pier Hill near...

how can someone advertise a road legal bike and at the same time affirm that the bike has a 1000W motor??? Who the hell issued the certificate to a bike with a 1000W motor I wonder.

they are a bit better on muddy tracks and mountainous roads. They slip less, track better and generally feel more secure. On flat or nearly flat roads (<5%), full size bikes seem to be better.

try riding muddy tracks - see how many miles you'll get. Then you understand why I like crank drives.

the power race does not affect only smaller brands. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/haibike-unite-with-yamaha-to-bring-a-whole-new-ebike-range-to-europe.18375/ it was reported that the maximum torque of the new Yamaha CD is 70NM-80NM. Many dealers suggest that motor is a game changer. I...

I do hope that all the advertisers on this forum pay attention to your comment and stop thinking that they can label their motor anyway they like.

if a few members of the public complain to trading standards that fast e-bikes frighten them on shared paths, they may start investigating then it will open up a can of worms.

eventually, trading standards will get involved then we'll have the clarification we need. European Union directive 2002/24/EC exempts vehicles with the following definition from type approval: "Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum...

What worries me is the power race leading eventually to fatal accidents. 36V 15A controllers ought to be enough for most of us, crank drives of similar power for those facing big hills, anything above this needs to be classified as mopeds. Cyclotricity announced 1000W road legal bikes. Perhaps...

legal bikes should have 36V 10A controllers, they'll pass automatically. Who is going to be happy with that?
