    Woosh Going headless

    Hello I continue to be delighted with my Woosh DWG rear hub on my fairly generic mountain bike. I'd like to look at ways of running it without the LCD. I don't need to know how fast I'm going, and if the battery dies I can just ride home under my own steam. I don't really need to choose...

    Moving a rack battery to a different part of a frame

    Hello everyone. I've got a Whoosh supplied Shengyi hub, which I really love. Completely hassle free transport. I have another frame I'd like to transfer the kit to - it has a much larger triangle inside the frame and the battery would easily fit inside the frame and make the bike far easier to...

    Rebuild a Woosh-supplied DWG22c into a 20" wheel

    Hello all I have a bike with one of these. Love it, but I have my eye on something that takes up a bit less room and is better to loan to people. I'm interested in the idea of a minivelo. To those not familiar with them, these are bikes with 20" wheels that don't fold. The most successful was...

    Help! Third party liability cover for cyclists

    Hello everyone. I have been thinking about this, and have decided that while I'm not too worried about my bikes and theft I do want public liability cover. Does anyone do this for home converted ebikes? It's road legal, an (excellent) kit from Woosh. I know if I turned up with a Deliverooo...

    Woosh Using my Woosh battery on a new project

    Hello folks. I have a DWGC22 hubbed MTB. It's ace. Has a 48v rack battery. I want to do another build, this time with a BBS01ET. Or maybe a BBS02 (it won't see road use, in case you are wondering). I phoned Woosh about buying a kit without a battery but they never got back to me. How do I...

    Help! Any experiences of the Bafang wheelbarrow motor?

    I am really pleased with my Whoosh rear hub on my eBike. Living up a very steep path as I do I would struggle to carry the bike but walk mode and a ramp by my stairs makes it easy. I have been using a wheelbarrow to cart heavy things up and down until now, and I have seen Bafang wheelbarrow hub...

    Help! Show me your storage sheds/bike shelters

    Hello folks I'm taking the plunge and building a dedicated shed for my new Whoosh converted MTB. It will be in the form of a tunnel made of cladding with a metal gate at the end for weather protection but also ventilation. I have a small, dead fridge which I'm going to use as a thoroughly...

    Does anyone store their ebike outdoors under a cover?

    Hello folks. I have been thinking about storage of my new Woosh converted bike a lot. I don't have a safe space to charge my bike indoors. I will be making a shed soon but in the meantime thinking about chaining the bike to the sheffield stand my old commuting bike lived was bolted to and just...

    Woosh DWGC22 installation thoughts

    Well, I've finished the bike and took it for a ride today. I cannot believe I am allowed such a thing. It makes cycling really, really easy and I think it will pay for itself in no time. I can't see any point in keeping my car now. Not turning up at places all sweaty. Installation was really...

    Woosh King meter headlamp function DWG22C kit.

    Hello I see references in the manual for my meter to a headlight function. Is a headlight something I can fit to my DWG22C kit? I can always rebuild the front wheel with a dynamo hub but if I have a great big battery it would seem easy to have a headlamp feed.

    Woosh DWG22 installation, horizontalish dropouts

    Hello I am having a play with this which I ordered on Friday and was delivered on Sunday! Taking my time to get my head around all of this before I take it all out of the box and actually fit it. Reading everything I can before I do the job! There is more than one frame I can use so this...

    Egg and roll trailer

    Hello Looking at trailers to go with my new pedelec. I have had my eye on this one for a while. It always struck me that fibreglass could be the perfect material for a trailer. https://cabbike.pl/trailers/ Costs a bit less than a Carry Freedom but a similar idea. What do you think? I sent...

    BBS01ET vs DWG22C for cargo bike

    Hello I am still not sure what to go for. Been down a proper rabbit hole. The MTB i had planned to convert is much loved and I've had it for decades but I want to carry shopping. I have decided (for better or worse) to convert an old Pashley Mailstar rather than the MTB I had in mind.A big...

    For Sale Storm eBike

    BBS01B chainline

    Hello Having talked to Andy at Whoosh, I'm going to take the plunge and buy one of these, I think. I have the eBike I showed you the other day and it's fab but I think I am asking a lot of it, it's too big and I think it's ugly. Can you let me know what the chainline measurement of a BBS01B...

    Help! Can you tell me about this bike?

    I have recently acquired this bike, but I can't find pictures of it anywhere so I know nothing about the brand. Has a Nuvinci N360 hub at rear, and an 8fun SWXK35 front hub, rated at 250w. Just needed a charge but otherwise appears to be working as intended. Does it have a weight limit? I am...

    Help! Weight limits, BBS01

    Hello I am looking into buying a BBS01 kit from Woosh. I want to convert my old mountain bike (26" wheels). I am 130KG. I want something that will help me get up the last 20% hill to my house. I'm not ashamed to push the steep bit, but at the end of my working day it is nice not to have to do...

    Weight limits for really hilly commute

    Hello I am looking at getting a new job. It is in the centre of Derby, and I am not driving there in rush hour. I am thinking about getting an ebike for my commute, which would be 8 miles each way but has a 16% hill at one point. I'm pretty big, 20ish stone. I would be taking panniers with my...

    Help! Where's life at these days? Conversion for a cargo bike

    Hello I have the chance of getting an allotment. It is too far to walk, and I will have luggage (I could drive, but that misses the point). I'd like an eBike. Requirements: Rider weight is 130kg (actually a lot less at the minute, but let's assume I could put the weight back on). I expect to...
