    Woosh - thumbs up?

    Woosh input in the forums is prolific and everything I have found is positive. For those following my search for a new bike I went into Cycle Republic today to be told the 10% discount voucher I have through work is not valid on sale bikes. I wouldn't mind but this is not what the terms &...

    One little thing to ask you about: Every now and then, on pedal assist, the motor of the Big Bear cuts out for a split second, then kicks straight back in.

    Disc Brake vs V Brake

    I've never had a bike with a disc brake before, so I know nothing about them or what to expect from them. I do know that the mechanical (non-hydraulic) disc brake on the front wheel of my new Woosh Big Bear is far, far less efficient than the regular V brake type on the rear wheel. Indeed, when...

    Another Big Bear Ride - Stats

    Today we did a return journey from Lake, on the Isle of Wight, to Gurnard, via Cowes - about 17 miles each way. It's fairly flat, consisting mainly of cycleway (former railway). Remember I also weigh around 300lbs and carry lots of tools. On the way there, I used only one bar on the battery...

    Gave the Woosh Bikes a Test Yesterday

    So, we decided to get Woosh bikes: As I'm over twenty stones, it was the Big Bear for me. My wife, being just eight stones and only a little over five feet tall, went for the Petite (with the 15AH battery option). Yesterday, we did a thirty-two mile round-trip over some of the hilliest parts of...
