    Recommendations for lights for eBike

    I don't have lights on my eBike as I don't take it out in the dark but I am loaning the bike to my stepson who will be using it for a 10 mile commute. As it's December this means that sometimes his commute will be during the hours of darkness. I am looking for recommendations for add on lights...

    Wisper Move saddle rearwards?

    I have a Wisper 705 with torque pack. I like the step through design but I just can't get comfortable on the saddle. I have adjusted it so it's as far rearwards as possible but still I'm most comfortable if I were seated 10-15cm (4-6") further rearwards. Is there some gizmo that would enable me...

    Help! Stepthrough bike for someone of small stature?

    My wife is 5'1" (155cm) & finds her Woosh Petite fits her perfectly. We are looking for a second e-bike to keep at our second home but unfortunately Woosh no longer sell the Petite. Does anyone have any recommendation for a step though e-bike that would suit someone smaller than average?

    Help! Lockable top box for rear rack?

    It's quite common to have a lockable top box on a motorbike. Many e-bikes have a rear rack for the battery but I don't see any with top boxes but I see that they are available. Years ago when I was mad enough to ride a Norton Commando I had a top box on it that took two full face helmets which...

    Woosh XF07 hub running backwards.

    Woosh converted a couple of bikes for my wife & I about 18 months ago with XF07 front hubs. We have moved house & my bike was in store for a few months. Today I pumped up the tyres & charged the battery. All seemed good except it’s unrideable because the front wheel is running backwards! I...

    Woosh Battery for Woosh Petite?

    The battery on my wife's Woosh Petite is on its way out & doesn't hold charge or have the necessary "oomph" on hills any more. Woosh won't have any replacement batteries in stock until the end of May & Jimmy quoted a rebuilding cost of £375 for 14Ah or £450 for 18Ah which is a bit pricey even if...

    Woosh Lost keys - what can be done?

    I have just bought a secondhand Woosh Big Bear from one of their customers advertised on their website https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand so I'm pretty sure it's not stolen:) Unfortunately the seller has lost the keys. It's in great condition as although it's 6 years old it's only done 26...

    Recommend me an iPhone holder for middle of handlebars

    Now that my partner & I are venturing out for longer rides I would find it very useful to use the maps & satnav on my iPhone while riding. I've been looking at various mounts & they all seem to fit on one side or the other of the handlebars. Are there any that mount in the centre? It seems...

    Recommend me some nice gloves

    My partner & I went out today intending to ride for about an hour on our new pedelecs. I lated about 10 minutes as my hands were so perishing cold. It's my birthday so my partner ever desperate to find a present for the man who has everything said she would buy me some cycling gloves. Does...

    Are tyres & tubes really so much easier to change nowadays?

    As explained on my other thread regarding tubeless tyres on our first outing with our newly converted pedelecs my partner's front wheel got a puncture & our trip was aborted. Today for the first time in probably 50 years I changed the punctured tube for a new one & found it fantastically easy...

    Tubeless recommendations

    We have just had our hybrids converted to pedelecs by Woosh with powered front hubs & are very pleased with them. Unfortunately on our first proper outing last weekend my partner got a puncture on her front wheel & as we were unprepared our ride was aborted. It got me thinking regarding going...

    My partner & I have been so impressed with the electric bicycles that we hired while on holiday in Brittany that we would like to equip ourselves in the UK & are looking advice. The bikes we hired were fairly heavy step through design like the bikes you see in the Netherlands but with a...
