woosh woosh! what do you mean when it works? You kept your Urban Mover too long! if you had replaced it with my Rio MTB, you could have shared the same bike with your wife. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb

our current path is somewhere between the brown and green plots. you see there are two peaks: one in late spring and one in late autumn. Hospitals can run out of beds in first or second week of May and again in late September (bottom picture where the red plot intersects the brown and green...

Why do you think having a throttle means you stop pedalling? If you have asthma for example, you'd be grateful for a throttle just in case.

On the flat, yes. I wonder how long you'd keep your bike if your motor were the weedy 40NM original Bosch AL DU instead of the 75NM CX,

no, I am not saying that. Bosch give clearly maximum torque figures for their motors. For example, for the basic Bosch Active Line*: TURBO: 40NM SPORT: 38NM TOUR: 35NM ECO: 30 NM You get 40NM at most at 100 RPM if you are an excellent cyclist, if you are someone with poor health, you would...

there are two attractions to the crank drives: 1. the ability to have a lightweight high speed bike - you can cruise at 30mph with a derestricted 100NM CD motor. 2. like a car with manual gearbox, you can ride more efficiently if you so wish - but you have to think hard, be always in the right...

the early internal controller in the GSM made by a company I shall not name was a disaster. I later replaced it by a Lishui controller but the latter was still subject to heat related failure, forcing me to sell only GSM without internal controller. Mind you, the early Bafang controller wasn't...

he has no idea...

I am ordering this week a new batch of Camino, this time, designed for 27.5" x 2.1" wheels, 48V drive system geared for the 'fun' element.

You could also argue for the advantages of hub motors in the context hill climbing: 1. you don't have to break a sweat 2. it's dead easy to maintain your optimal cadence 3. It's kinder for your drive drain

the 2018 Bosch Active Line is the least powerful Bosch motor. It has about just as much grunt as the 2kg Aikema 85SX hub motor that I fitted to my Woosh Faro. Your motor is nearly twice as torquey as the one fitted to that Motus. It's like you climbing hills in permanent eco mode. It may be OK...

you can do that easily with the 100NM Bafang MaxDrive motor that I put in my Rambla but you know it's illegal, right?

this corona virus not like seasonal flu. It's more like the whole human species is hit by aliens with biological weapons. Only one in 5 of us is blessed with genetic immunity. Four out of 5 are expected to be infected sooner or later. We just have to take as many precautions as possible to stay...

true but not 500,000 die in hospitals. we are only two weeks behind Italy, one week behind Spain and a couple of days behind France. We will have to tough it out for months to come. The team at Imperial College London predicted that with measures we have taken, it will continue to get worse...

for a bit of off roading, the Woosh Rio MTB may be worth a look. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb If has a nice and responsive 100mm RST Omega fork rather than the typical 63mm hybrid/road fork, 26" x 1.95" MTB tyres, hydraulic brakes, GXP bottom bracket, much better at handling mud, a...

not quite, they have a few new confirmed cases every day but they are usually from those flying into China and put on quarantine. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if China come up with effective treatment and vaccine before we do.

Just to remind you how the thread started. the OP was interested in the £1,049 Woosh Camino. He wanted to compare with the 2018 Raleigh Motus, originally costing £1,650 now reduced to £1,295 sold online by e-bikesdirect.co.uk Battery: Camino 15AH (540WH), Motus: 300WH Motor: Camino: DWG07 hub...

that seems to be the floor for now. The only way is up, so I said to myself.

I am more wary that you don't take time to look into the OP's requirements. How far, how steep is his commute?, how heavy, how tall is he? does he have any health condition? which frame type does he like best? does he have a fixed budget? Also, comparing my £1000 bike against a £1300 bike sold...

on further investigation, apparently the French local authorities closed the local facilities because of corona virus, the parcel is returned when no one signed for it.
