RoadieRoger Should be good for your brother. We are selling a lot of Sundowners to the 60 - 75 market (riders need to be reasonably tall (5 ft 7" upwards). He might also want to consider the Santana though. Why not see what old Dave has to say when he reviews it in a few days from now?

Too late all of you. Old Dave has already offered! Better luck next time Eddieo .......

Sturdy step through. If one of you wants to try one, please PM me. Woosh Santana

E9 XT 9-Gang RRP 2.199,00 Euro Is this the same bike?

There are good, light weight non-rechargeable LiS batteries on sale but not the kind of batteries suitable for automotive applications.

According to my other-half, the battery used in the experiment at the SLAC is too primitive. Lithium Sulfur designs need to overcome the relatively high surface tension of Lithium polysulfides which form a voltage barrier around the carbon sulfur electrode, stopping free Lithium ions in the...

Woosh Bikes are pleased to announce the opening of an outlet in Cambridge on 1st October. Our good friends of many years at World of Computers, opposite Tesco's in Milton, are delighted to join us, providing demos and sales of all our bikes. Woosh Bikes in Cambridge World of Computers...

Explanation for the first video: the magnet is used to give a false impression that some useful work could be produced by the device. In reality, the magnet could not produce any useful output. A small amount of energy is transferred from the wheel to the magnet at the base of the device as it...

According to my other-half, when the demonstrator gently pulls the magnet out, he confers the initial input of kinetic energy. The iron ball also gets additional potential energy when raised. Its optimum height is reached at about time index 1:40. The wheel will now decelerate, albeit slowly...

One of our engineers said that is more than 500W at the wheel (if sustained), probably drawing in excess of 17A from the battery to account for heat loss.

Technicalities aside, Dave, fancy a date? (I am female.....or at least I was when I last looked.....) Interesting debate. Really just wanted to sound out various views. We would be very careful about anything sold as we really do intend to keep within the law. Have had feedback from our...

We are considering offering this motor as an option on some models to enable heavy weights to get up hills. We currently get called several times a day by riders over 120Kgs and know they will struggle with a standard 250w version up steep inclines. We would still limit the controller so the...

Hi David, As you probably know, the 48.5% applies to commodity codes 8712 0010 90, 0030 00 and 0080 90 (cheap no brand push bikes) whilst e-bikes fall under 8711 90 90 @ 6%. I do not think there is much to fear from this 48.5% duty lark because: Firstly, the original application for AD1778 was...

David, I 'm not sure you are correct. If I understand correctly, the ADD @ 48.5% has been applied for bicycles under commodity code 8712 0010 since 2008 and will still be in force until October 2016. The electronic parts (eg battery code 8506) will remain at 4.7% if invoiced separately. If and...

Dave, I agree with you on the pricing you have quoted, but shipping costs are only part of the overall cost. Warehousing is substantially lower in Germany than in the UK, and Germany being the centre pretty much of EU trade it would make sense to base the operation there. Furthermore shipping...

Yes, you can cut the metal loop. (Tony @woosh thinks that it may be easier also to cut the disc into halves and mount the two halves onto the chain wheel, that will keep the magnets straight in front of the sensor)

1) Yes 2) Yes

Dear Andre, One of our technicians here thinks that the cover seal is broken, perhaps the previous owner has opened it and not replaced the seal when they put the cover back. You'll need a special tool to close the motor cover properly. If it's running OK, best leave it alone, there is plenty...

Dear neptune, One thing that motivates us to do assembly in Southend: we can make things easier to repair. The Chinese often make things so difficult to fix that you have to throw the whole kit in the bin because one bit of plastic has broken or a small part has failed. Regards
