    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    the Rio uses 50-cell casing, the 48V 17AH that Damian mentioned uses 65-cell casing, they are taller but still fit. The Rio 17AH battery is made with 10S5P in NCR Panasonic cells for 10S5P, cost: £399. I can fit 10S6P 20AH into a 65-cell casing. The cost for the 20AH would be £369. edit: It's...

    strange question. middle England may not want more fruit pickers but need medics more than ever before. I hope you told them that they are very much wanted and welcome. brexit only affects fruit pickers.

    Pedal resistance

    all the crank drive motors have internal clutch that isolates the motor after the motor has its electricity cut off. The residual resistance is very small, you can just about feel it. To experience how it feels, put the rear wheel of the bike on a stand, pedal at speed under and over the cutoff...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We know hard brexit is now dead in the water. We also know both labour and tory want more or less the same trade deal. David Davis said the policy in Mrs May's Florence speech "had been coming for a long time". So it has taken the tory 6 months to decide to delay brexit, which is the same as...

    Axle on BPM front too thick for dropouts

    the style of the fork affects the rake and trail of the bike. https://calfeedesign.com/tech-papers/geometry-of-bike-handling/

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    his should be enough. At the moment, we know roughly what the brexit destination is, EFTA access to the single market but without FOM, like CETA, which is incoherent. If Boris Johnson resigns, we can be a lot nearer to EFTA. Labour strategy is also close to EFTA. Then it should be plain sailing.

    Need for 8mi one way commute want style and ease

    there are two prevalent systems, each has about half of the market share. The German bikes tend to have a torque sensor built into the bottom bracket, the assist you get is proportional to the effort you put in. The Chinese bikes tend to have a simple pedaling detection, which turns on the motor...

    the rules on the throttle has changed since last year. The 'twist and go' throttle cannot be installed. Therefore, the throttle can only be installed either as starting aid, from zero (standstill) to 4mph, or activated after you have pedaled. That's what you have on the new Woosh bikes, you...

    that's because the gearing is not done correctly. The Zephyr-C is designed to be pedalled comfortably and effortlessly at 15mph. It also has 20" fat tyres and 3-speed Nexus hub gear.

    Need for 8mi one way commute want style and ease

    the Crusa may not be the right bike for your requirements. It is a big bike, with wide handlebars, not easy at all to take inside a lift. I would have thought something like the £799 foldable Woosh Zephyr C is much more suitable. Its main beam is low step and it has a carbon belt drive. It has...

    John Redwood. "we will only know whether the speech was successful when we see and hear considered responses of the EU and its member states". I don't like the man much but on this occasion, agreed with him.

    Woosh King Meter playing up?

    does the speed sensor have a LED on it? if it does, then you can check if the LED blinks when the magnet passes in front of the sensor.

    better made in what way? welding? style? components? or just the photography? pictures of the Oxygen are taken in studio where I took the pictures of the Rio MTB in the streets.

    yes, but you'll void the guarantee doing that.

    Advice on bike purchase

    it's only because the Rio is restricted. The noload speed of both bikes is about the same on 27.5" wheels. The Rio has a 17A controller. I think the Oxygen has a 15A controller. We'll get a new container of Rio MTBs on October 1st, 27.5" wheels and 17AH battery. The price of the large Rio is the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    may be she is only interested to keep her job until 2021 but I think she has done the right thing, come off the fence and accepted that the UK is still not strong enough for hard brexit, therefore a 2 year transition period is needed. It's progress toward a solution but the final destination is...
