I'm registering my wife's Woosh Big `Bear LS on the immobilise website, but I can't find the serial number on the bike, can anyone help please?

I bought the Big Bear LS for my wife after initially thinking of going for the GTech. Although I live on the edge of the Somerset levels I was aware that once my wife was enjoying riding her electric bike that she might want to go further afield. I have been proved right and as now she has ridden it locally she now wants to go further and not always on the flat! I'm impressed with the range of the bike, her last trip of 45 miles was easily within the batteries range, it now means we can get out together, with me on my carbon road bike. My Garmin gps measured the average speed of just over 15mph over 45 miles. The bike weighs 27 kilos (according to the weight stamped on the box it came in) but on the flat my wife found it relatively easy to pedal and the boost on power level 2 made the inclines we met no problem. The swept back handlebar angle makes the ride comfy.

No, but it is being being marketed as an MTB would it not be normal to assume the 30 miles claim is for cross country?

So it's 5.6ah times 36v equals 201watts. From the advert it certainly looks the same battery on the road version. Posts on here seem to indicate a MTB ebike might not get much distance at all over off road hilly terrain, after all, that's what a MTB is for?

Looks like the same 5.6ah battery though? That won't do the 30 miles it claims off road and hills surely?

Thanks for the advice Trex, but my wife really liked the Big Bear LS and I've ordered it this afternoon and I'll get it Thursday. As I said in earlier posts she's Dutch and the bike reminds her of home!

Well, my wife has decided she wants a Whoosh Big Bear LS. Is there just the one dealer in Southend? I live in Weston Super Mare, just about as far west as you can go from there!

It was ok with the returns requirements until I read the penultimate line, "We reserve the right to reject a return at our discretion."

Sure, but I can I can imagine the protracted wrangling trying to get my money back and the endless excuses

Trying to decide on buying an ebike using distance selling is not helped by statements like this, https://www.aero-bike.co.uk/14-day-trial I would not buy from them under these rules, read the last line get out clause

Trex, what's the score on whoosh big bear trial?

Just thought ide get the forum back on ebike track

Whoosh bikes state day that bikes ordered after 1st November will increase by £30 to £50 due to currency rates

Careful with the 14 day trials, one I looked at said, we only accept returns within 14 days f it's unused! For a bike!!

I'm now undecided, I've been looking at the Whoosh Big Bear, but worried over seeing one and test riding as I think the shop is in Southend?
