    Faro fair price

    Hi Nealh Thanks for the reply, think I will give Whoosh a call as they were really good when purchasing, didn't realise they had a used bike tab on the site. The Gran Camino is a possible for me to change to anyway due to some medical issues :-)

    Help required with purchase

    Thanks for the replies so far. The Pendleton is not in stock, only 8ah battery and no suspension which if a rougher ride would be unsuitable. The Elops is only available in XL, I am on email list re possible stock update. The woosh is an option but having recently purchased a woosh myself I...

    Woosh Faro Review

    Hi Atlav I too changed the tyres on my recently purchased faro to schwalbe road cruiser and have noticed the improvement in grip that I wanted, also deals with the canal and gravel better. Quick question what bar ends have you got on there ? I have quite bad pain in hands and thumb joints after...

    Tyre advice req

    Good morning I am in the process of planning to swap 700-28 road tyres to 700-32 and some form of hybrid tyre to cope a little better with canal tow paths and light gravel, nothing too extreme. I didn't realise there would be so many options, quite a few people have mentioned schwalbe marathon...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    Looks promising, thanks for your input. Woosh have replied above that I could fit a 32 and having just checked I can can get a decent pair for a reasonable £50+. What would I expect to pay to get a bike shop to swap them, guessing nothing too horrendous ? Thanks to everyone who has helped me...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    I really like the looks of the Faro and available with 17ah at my budget, and in stock so wouldn't have to take waiting 3 months into consideration (as with Camino). It was Woosh themselves in here (fair play to them for that) that mentioned and confirmed my reservations with the tyres for what...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    Many thanks for all your replies so far, the advice and information has really helped as I realise my £1000 means any Ebike I consider will have some negatives. I am still not a great deal further on for several reasons, the current situation means shops are closed for browsing which is not...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    Hi Woosh thanks for taking the time to add the detailed reply, the Faro and Camino look like nice bikes. The Faro being in stock is appealing but the tyres are my concern. Do you intend to restock with the Camino as it could be worth waiting. Thanks.

    Good morning Thanks for the help so far. Chris M for the clarity regarding power which initially was confusing me. Woosh bikes I will give you a call on Monday to ask a couple of things, I only really considered your Rio at first. What is the main differences between the Faro and Camino ...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    Good morning Thanks for all the replies so far, I am a little further on but still undecided. Of the 3 bikes I mentioned in the opening post I have dismissed the Focus due to what I understand as probably being under powered for what I need at 7ah. I have now considered another bike Basis Kite...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    Hi I am after a bit of advice from this group who will know a lot better than me. I am mid sixties and reasonably, but not tremendously, fit. I do cycle now but enjoy being outdoors longer and taking in different places, I have spoke to a couple of people with E bikes on my travels and they have...
