    first electric bike

    I'm going for a Woosh Sirocco CD, just a couple of questions re this bike. On the Woosh web site it states the bike is only for riders up to 15 stone and 5'8" in height. Over this they say buy a CDL version,this is slightly cheaper, with what looks like a gear less , different handlebar controls...

    first electric bike

    first electric bike

    Bit of a spanner in the works, I'm afraid her indoors went ape when she found out I was planning to spend almost £1900 on a e-bike tomorrow, it looks like I'm back down to the £1000 limit again. Thanks for all the advice guys,I think I may leave it for a bit now, a decent used one may come up on...

    first electric bike

    I've been doing lots of looking at bike reviews / forum post and I bought the Electric bike may yesterday,and am now giving a bit of thought to maybe spending a bit more,say £1500 Max,this isn't detonate just an idea it may be better to buy local now,even though choice is a bit limited.

    Ride before buy is not an option,that's one reason I'm on here asking questions and reading reviews etc :-) No one near me stocks Woosh ,and the Giant dealer does not carry the e-bike. :(

    first electric bike

    I have sort of got it dow to just couple of new bikes now...a Woosh Sirroco Cd, or one of the Giant mens E-bikes, of course i do like some of the more expensive bikes available , but cannot justify £1500 plus for what i would use the bike for. I would have no objection to used and keep looking...

    first electric bike

    I'm looking at buying my first e-bike,unfortunately I am going to have to either by online or via EBay, as the only local shop which sells e-bikes only seems to sell very expensive models £1500 upwards,which is way out of my league. I have been looking at Whoosh,Kudos,and Giant models,these are...
