Westhill mountain bike

[Julesw]

Hi
I just got a westhill mountain bike, picked it up yesterday and rode it twenty miles home. I am very pleased with it, pedal assist with 3 setting. The quality of the bike is good and has a nice finish. My last bike was a powabyke x6 , which I did several thousand miles on without many problems so hope this is as good.

is it this one? a bit pricey for the specs (36V 10AH, 170RPM motor, 790 display, TX55 derailleur).

Quite a nice looking bike .
You should be able to get unite a few miles out of that one

 

[Julesw]

Yes that's the one I paid £999 for it I thought that was a fair price rides very well.

Better if I could spell quite though.

170 rpm is a very slow wind. If that's what it has, it'll nearly reach 15mph with a fully charged battery, but it'll climb very well. Can you confirm the top speed?

I was coming out of Padstow yesterday,which is a fair climb out against a strong head wind using med assist, and was maintaining 12 mph. I will collate some more data and let you know. There is a quite a bit of difference between med and high assist so I will try it on high. It's about a six mile climb some very steep gradients

collect data on throttle alone, that's the worst case scenario, much more useful than data when in pedelec mode.

Put a cycle computer on the motor-wheel and measure the speed with the wheel off the ground at full throttle. You don't have to fully install the computer on the back wheel. Just put the magnet on a spoke and hold the sensor close to it. It's easier with two people.

A great way to loose fingers, but not to worry, I can supply spares

This bike doesn't have a throttle just three power settings

Which way did you come out of Padstow, to encounter a 6-mile climb?

Which way did you come out of Padstow, to encounter a 6-mile climb?

From padstow to winnards perch it climbs virtually all the way from padstow to the build centre with a couple of short downhill bits. So from the camel trail at sea level all the way up to st columb in a head wind. You must be in st Austell

B3274

that 6 mile climb on the B3274 from Padstow to Winnards Ferch is a nice long climb, not steep (5-6%), except a very short section near the camping site.

We had a strong head wind nice ride though. Normally I like to ride from winnards perch to padstow then along the camel trail to wadebridge then back along the a39.

Well - It is uphill-ish, but only just

A good test of an ebike's climbing ability & range is Padstow to Newquay, along the coast-road, although I usually do it t'other way round, so I can pootle along the Camel Trail, pausing at Treats on Trikes, to Grogley Halt, then up through Ruthern Bridge & Tremore Bridge, home to Roche.
