Hi, I am a similar size and have had my Big Bear for 3 years now and love it. I would be slightly wary of the Emu as the Max rider weight is specified at 15.5 stone but I am sure the gurus on here will be along soon with other suggestions.

Hi, I am of a similar size and have been happily using a Woosh Big bear for three years now and done +2K miles on it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Whilst not exactly cheap it is very affordable and can be sold on if you find that cycling isn't for you or if you decide that it is and...

Not really. I found out about the brakes :) My query was how to adjust my riding style to adapt to a different power source. The hub drive allows me to set off under throttle and then start to pedal where as the mid doesn't. It's a long time since I rode an "ordinary" bike so basically I was...

Thank you! I appreciate the advice. :)

Hi all, I am hoping the hive mind can give me some advice please? After three happy years with my Woosh big bear I decided it was time for a change. For any one thinking about a Woosh Big Bear. Just do it you will not regret it. (Except if like me it turns out to be a gateway bike into an...

Hi, Graham at Tiller cycles may be able to help. He helped me get some replacement spokes for my Big Bear. graham@tillercycles.co.uk or www.tillercycles.co.uk.

I'm a big bloke too and I cannot fault my Big Bear. Done over 1000 miles now and I love it. It has given me a new lease of life. I can cycle with confidence, keep up with my younger fitter friends and just go out for the sheer fun of it. I have done 30 hilly miles on a charge and got home with...

Pleased to report I fitted the new bars and did 13 miles on the Two tunnels route on Saturday and no tingling! :) I quite like the sit up and beg Dutch styling too.

Just ordered a set. Thanks for the pointer. :)

Thanks for the speedy reply. Might try that .

Hi, I have a Big Bear too. Can you tell me what handle bars did you use and how did you manage with changing the twist grip? I have been looking at ways to change the grips as I get quite bad tingling in my hands after a few miles. Thanks

I was ( Still am) a complete new comer to all this. Did a bit of research and bought the Big Bear as I am a big bloke (ie Fat) and there wasn't much else around that fitted the bill. I love it and haven't looked back. Can now do 20 -30 mile rides with my mates that were just not feasible before...

Thank you all for the advice. It is much appreciated. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks TREX. Are they going to be okay with the throttle side do you know?

Hi, I wonder is anyone can help me? I am the happy owner of a Woosh Big Bear which I have had for about a year and just passed 300 miles. I am finding that on a long ride I get tingling sensation in my hands so bad that I thought my phone was vibrating when I held it. It seems that the problem...

Welcome Dave, I too am new to this lark and also bought a Big bear earlier this year which I love.

Bought a Woosh big bear a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. It pulls like a train and I am always grinning when I get off of it. Has reopened the world of cycling to me. Also I was very impressed with the service from Woosh.

"I did say there would be no more posts from me, and regardless this will definitely be my last one" We can but hope!

I wanted to be a politician but my mum and dad were married. :)

Hope my reply didn’t come across as too pushy On reflection it does look a bit harsh :oops:
