Neptune, Points taken, our Aspen will have crank drive motor next year although it may not be called Aspen anymore. We should also be able to offer a number of customizations when we start assembling in Cambridge from around October 2013 - we just don't have enough space in Southend. Amongst...

Hi KirstinS and Eaglerider Thanks both for your interest. The controller is 7A-14A, the same as on our other Siroccos but neatly tucked into the base of the battery carrier (like on the Oxygen E-Mate). The replacement bottle battery (36V 9AH) costs £215 (with Samsung cells). We'll let you know...

18-speed, bottle battery with Samsung cells etc.. Here is the link Regards to all Hatti

Hi Puffin jersey is great! We were at Bouley Bay (next to the Black Dog) 4 years ago, loved it. Our Santana may be of interest? Have a look on our website. We could supply 20 pieces in black or white no problem. Regards,

Shouln't it be crank drive with torque sensor and rear hub motor, dual batteries - one for airlines and one for distance?

Gordonal, Bosch will have a lot of competition from China as early as next spring. The new products will be crude at first, but like the Borg, they'll evolve quickly. I reckon by next summer, may be as much as half of Chinese bikes sold will have crank motors. Regards

Eddieo, Bosch domination may be over within two to three years. I have got test data of two new Chinese crank drive systems, one with built in torque sensor, the other without. Both have excellent transfer yieds - much above 80%. That means at least 10% more miles per full charge than hub...

Sorry could not post earlier - Mondays always busy. Firstly, a thank you to Old Dave for what seems to be a very fair review. In our view the bike is sensible, comfortable and sturdy - not a highly exciting ride by any means- but ticks all the boxes for a pretty wide range of riders. The front...

Hi John, Its difficult I think to actually make money out of the scheme unless there are substantial numbers of potential renters. We actually started with e bikes thinking that we were going to rent them - we hadn't thought we would sell many. Yep, Southend is not high on the tourist map but...

Hi Lynda A while back I was thinking of offering free Viagra/Cialis with every bike....but no need. Our customers seem to be an extremely perky lot.... even into their 90s...and very charming too. I think some could give my kids (late 20s) a run for their money energy-wise. Hoping Court...

We did try to make 'only one 'L' clear to the Chinese, but in vain..... Its was an L of a bike though if you wanted 'cheap 'n cheerful'. I am sorry they have come to an end, but we must move on......

Eddieo The only way not to have a bike stolen is to buy a lead acid Angel in bright pink from us...... Only one left now, would you like it?

One cheap solution to control cost is long term rental from Woosh. Minimum rental is 2 months. We rent out Woosh Monos for £30 per month, suitable for very short daily commute, up to 6 miles/day (eg to railway stations). For longer commute, up to 12 miles/day Woosh Siroccos for £45 per month...

Agreed, Neptune. The UK Ebike industry is still very young. The Guardian recently published sales figures of 20,000 (which we thought was on the low side but presumably accurate), which is indeed small fry when compared with our counterparts in Europe (and notably Germany and Holland). The...

flecc, Products in the pipeline are communicated to us by the manufacturers on the basis of strict confidence. If we 'leak' their details, we'll be helping their competitors. I don't want to chance that! Sometimes I post on this forum new ideas that we would like to pursue (such as using 350W...

David @Wisper You seem to have changed your tune somewhat. The Woosh Sirocco 2 is no longer a clone but Woosh is 'copying your style'. You now also admit that you do not have the means to carry out the level of R and D you would expect Woosh to engage in before competing with Wisper. The clear...

David I am puzzled. You are suggesting to me that we go design our own bikes - but this costs megabucks. I give you an example to illustrate the kind of commitment and volume you'd need if you wanted to become an e bike manufacturer. The Woosh Zephyr is made by the same company that makes the...

Intellectual property is very well protected in this country, by possibly the best laws in the world. My son did try to train as a patent attorney! I quote from wikipedia: Directive on the legal protection of designs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A design is defined as "the appearance...

Well, we seem to be gearing up to make this a nation wide operation. Any more franchisees interested? BTW, have decided I will need a new company car if this all goes ahead. A Robin Reliant would definitely be my choice, but as we have to keep green and not pay London's congestion charges...

Excellent idea RoadieRoger. I could do a roaring trade Del boy style from a market stall in Peckham - not too far from Eddieo, perhaps. He could then come and have a browse on a Sunday.
