    How good is the Big Bear on hills?

    Evening all, A friend of mine is considering a Big Bear after I made him aware of Woosh bikes. We are in rural mid Devon and it is quite varied, hilly terrain. I have BBS01 crank drive on my bike. By all accounts the Big Bear is pretty powerful and copes with hills well. Just wondering what...

    My BBS 01 one month on...

    I thought I would do a quick summary of how the BBS01 is performing now that it has had some use. Those that have read my other post will know that I went for the legal 250w version (from Eclipse) and fitted it to my Gary Fisher Monona hybrid. The converted bike weighs in at about 18kg...

    Another BBS01 conversion...

    Evening all, I received my 250w BBS01 kit from Eclipse on Tuesday and am now up and running. I did most of the conversion on Tuesday evening and it went pretty smoothly. The worst part was shifting the right hand bottom bracket nut, which eventually gave in to the large Stilsons and scaffold...

I am 41, 73kg, 5' 10", a bit unfit and want to use for hilly commuting sometimes but mainly pleasure...

    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...
