    Woosh kits...

    Thanks for your comments d8veh and trex. I really hope I can try out a crank drive soon. Is the hub motor the same as used on the Big Bear? I'm not sure I can wait 'til May!

    Woosh kits...

    Evening all, My dilemma continues, the more I ponder the options, the harder this gets. Having considered converting my immaculate Gary Fisher Monona hybrid, then deciding a complete ebike might be better, I then discovered the reasonably priced Woosh kits on their website. I would imagine my...

    Has anyone ridden the Woosh Krieger?

    Interestingly, having emailed Woosh today, Andy from there seems to be encouraging me more towards the Big Bear, saying it has more grunt and is easier to ride. I am happy to take on a crank drive if it is possible to develop a non-brutal gear changing technique (I own several very old cars with...

    Has anyone ridden the Woosh Krieger?

    Thanks trex, that's interesting to hear. I find the Krieger a rather more interesting option and though I know you shouldn't judge a bike by its looks prefer the Krieger, especially the lower mounted battery. I haven't tried a crank drive, unfortunately in this part of the world Woosh bikes...

    Cyclotricity Stealth or Oxygen E-Mate MTB

    Hi all, I'm virtually decided that I will keep my lightweight Gary Fisher unconverted and buy a pedelec separately. I don't want to spend more than £1k tops, and like the look of the Stealth and E-Mate (MTB version). If going for the Stealth I would consider upping the supplied battery to the...

    Morning all... I am an electric bike wannabe!

    Morning everyone, My name is Paul and I live in hilly mid Devon. I'm 41, not very fit and cycle occasionally. Having lived in these parts for 30 years I am now finding the hills far more challenging and the enjoyment of cycling isn't how it used to be. I work in Bude in North Cornwall, which is...
