Hey guys, I am just about to hit the one year mark with my Zephyr-B and wanted to give a quick update review. The bike has served me very very well over the past year. I have ridden it nearly 900 miles now and its still going rock solid. The suspension is extremely helpful on the bumpy roads...

That worked perfectly!!! - I managed to adjust the stem to the lowest position and now I ride with a lot more control. Many many thanks!

Hey there, I have the Zephyr-B (old version), and the handle bars are too high. Is it possible to adjust the stem lower into the bike frame? How would I go about making this adjustment? I can't seem to dismantle the stem portion of the bike. I can see that I can lift up the "neco" cone which...

Oh so sorry, one more thing. Is there a big difference between a front motor vs my back motor on the Zephyr-B? Will I feel it much? Any other big points I need to know about Big Bear LS vs Zephyr-B?

You are the best trex! Might try to go for a trade in.

lol I thought u said the Big Bear LS has a smaller motor/controller! It seems to fit me at 5'4.5 ? Give me some good news.

Hey trex, so are there any plans to make a BPM, 20A controller bike, and a large battery capacity (15ah) that fits my size (5'4 - 5'5) in the near future?

Gah, thumb throttle! Wish it could be the twist throttle that I currently have. So with a 18A controller and SWX02 motor (vs the BPM), the Sport will also be less powerful than my Zephyr-B...? hmmm decisions decisions...

Hey Trex, Now that I know I have secure storage at my home's garage and bike room at the office, I am looking to switch to a non-foldable bike, since the only reason I would ever fold my bike is to remove the battery for charging. Could you please recommend me based on these criterias: 1...

2 week update - 120 miles ridden: I am extremely happy with it. The bike just works, and is very solid. As a commuter, having higher profile handlebars was more comfortable as I don't have to lean so much. I have also since gotten used to the size of the bike. I ride in high cycling traffic...

I have no issues with pedalling at the lowest seat profile at all. But mind you, I do have short legs at 5'5. The highest point of my leg is around 90 degrees to my body if I sit upright. That to me is acceptable. It doesn't go near my arms because if the higher handle bars =)

Hey Hutch, So the handle bars are attached on using an adjustable handlebar clamp adapter. Kind of imagine a crane... If you want lower handle bars, it will be more forward (away from you), and if you want higher handle bars, it will closer to you. I have it obviously set on the highest setting...

Hey Hutch, Even at 5'7, I'd say this bike is big. This is what I had to do to make sure I could semi-comfortably half tip toe on the floor (I'm 5'5): 1. Buy the lowest seat post I could find 2. Buy a thinner seat 3. Custom create a back light mount so that it mounts onto the frame of the bike...

Nice! I also just got a 26 inch foldable MTB myself! =D If you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost to buy a bike from alibaba, including shipping and all other fees etc?

Hey Trex, I am looking to replace the wheel of my Zephyr-B. I think I already punctured it this morning... =( I saw from the forum that someone recommended the Schwalbe Marathon Plus Commuter Type. Do you agree? Also what size should I get? There isn't an exact fit of 26 x 1.95" which is...

I talked with TETS (assuming they are electricbikesales.co.uk), and they confirmed that they cannot install the PAS system. Something about couldn't get it to fit after several attempts. What a shame, I may just stick with the Zephyr until hopefully Brompton releases something.

If you don't mind me asking, which electric conversion kit are you using? I can't seem to find one where there's a throttle and Pedal Assist System. Also might want to hold off as I read an article last year about Brompton themselves looking to release a pedal assist bike!

patpatbut - Woah seems like you have very relevant comparisons between the 2! I am definitely going to test ride the Brompton. Thankfully they have a London store around Camden. Would you say you prefer the Brompton over the 26 inch, for mostly flat riding? Many thanks. Any info helps! =D

Hey guys, I currently have a 26 inch wheeled pedelec (Woosh Zephyr-B to be exact), and have had a great 2 day experience so far. However, being an extremely small person, it doesn't fit me quite like a glove. Does anyone have experience with the Brompton electric kit? (I am considering this...

Hey Trex, Many thanks for your reply. Going to Southend and back becomes the issue. I was able to get on the bus and trains because my Zephyr-B is considered a "folding bike", and I can definitely fit it in the trunk of most cars. Heck I could even jump onto a black cab with the Zephyr-B. But...
