    The Rio is our newest model. Hopefully, there will be reviews in a few months. The Rio is sold by mail order. It arrives in a big carton, you will have to put the pedals and put the handlebars back on. The bike is guaranteed for one year against all material defects.

    the Woosh Rio is a much more powerful bike in comparison to the Carrera. The Rio has more powerful motor, larger capacity battery, better crankset, lighter fork, better tyres. The Rio also has sensors on the brakes and a throttle.

    Hello Volusia25, I would suggest the Woosh Karoo It will easily do 35 miles on one charge. Some customers managed to squeeze more than 70 miles out of one charge. Price: £899 including delivery. Battery: 13AH with Samsung cells. Very low maintenance. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?karoo If you...

    Greenway Cross City

    the Bafang Max Drive would be an excellent choice for a commuter bike but I would have thought 29 miles a day is too much.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Labour cannot hope to win this general election. The best they can do is to take a proper and clear position on brexit, then accuse Mrs May of having no strategy. Labour should come out for Customs Union and immigration control of unskilled/low skilled EU workers. That will help to retain their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it seems that she has not got much choice. About a dozen tory MPs may be taken to Court over undeclared election spending, that may result in a dozen by-elections that she does not want nor need. She may have lost her slim majority in parliament by next year. The public finance in the next two...

    if you want to try one of our bikes, please call and talk to Hatti. She would arrange for someone near you who bought the same bike that you are interested in to show it to you.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not quite directly of the horse's mouth but you and oldtom quote them often enough. You two should stop calling brexiters idiots.

    In that case, the new Woosh Rio may suit you. 13AH battery - range about 40-50 miles at your weight. Nice and light, well equipped with hydraulic brakes, 100mm fork with preload adjust and lockout, GXP crankset, throttle. Price: £1,049 - still within your budget. 18" / 44cm frame, relatively low...

    You may have read them, not I. I have never bought any of them and never care for what they write in their rags. Unlike you, I am not blinkered.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, and a deliberate one at that. It was a well known tactic, used by people in election-engineering. You put up a half truth, your opponents jump on it because it's easy for them to pick on but because it contains some element of truth so it invites debate, thus the media repeats the message...

    Total cost of an ebike, around 45p a mile?

    Let's make another estimate Year 1: Cost of bike 1500 Trips: 180 Total miles: 1,800 Resale value: £700 cost per mile: 44.4p Year 2: Cost of bike 700 Trips: 180 Total miles: 1,800 Resale value: £500 cost per mile: 11.1p The cost varies depending on how quickly you want another bike. If you...

    Looking for affordable step-through to commute up-hill

    that's easy. If you put in half the energy requirement instead of riding on the throttle, your range will be twice as much. The fact is simple: 13AH = 1.5 * 8.8AH The Crusa is heavier than the Somerby, so it would require a little more energy to go at the same speed but roughly speaking, if you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    are you thinking that they shouldn't be allowed to vote? Remain failed to persuade enough people because they homed on to the message on the red bus. It was baiting because we all knew that was the gross figure and remain fell for it. Now who is the idiot?

    That's true on some bikes but FYI, the screws on the Crusa are stainless steel.

    Looking for affordable step-through to commute up-hill

    that's true for her weight. Still, the Crusa has a motor strong enough to pull Andy up Southend Pier hill, a throttle and a 13AH capacity battery instead of 8.8AH on the Pendleton Somerby.
