If I can figure out how to bleed the brakes on my Zephyr B I'll be there

Some great suggestions D8veh - thanks! Sarabee - I know the goofy grin is a risk I'm happy to live with

Hi - after much research, deliberating and dithering I've finally bought my first electric bike, the Zephyr-2017 from Woosh. Had a trip down to see Hatti and Tony at the Southend-on-Sea branch and took the Zephyr and Karoo out for a spin. I'm so glad I did as I hadn't considered the Zephyr and had my sights set on the Karoo. I shied away from the Zephyr initially as I've got a folding bike already it quickly became apparent that despite being a folder that it was just as quick as a standard bike. Despite some hefty headwinds down there, the bike was a doddle to ride and was easy to make quick progress. Now the painful part of waiting for it to arrive Being fairly new to all this would appreciate any tips or recommended mods for commuting. cheers, Jon

Thanks for all the replies - really appreciate the input! [uSER=4366]@d8veh[/uSER] - Based in South London The low speed would be quite annoying - I'm fairly fit, but have a few nasty hills on the way to work which discourages me from cycling more often. I think while I like the idea of a fat bike, for my commute I may want something more conventional - that Rio does look epic BTW! I'm looking for something that will do a 14 mile round trip, handle a few hills, allow me to peddle faster that 15mph on the flat and fit me at 6"1 and 100kg. I had been looking to go down to see Woosh bikes, but annoyingly work uses "Cycle Scheme" which Woosh doesn't seem to cover it

Hi - I was wondering what the thoughts on the Sondors fat bike are, any good reviews? The price seems very cheap (which makes me cautious) at $499 with a 36V 8.8 Ah battery and 350w. To good to be true?

Sounds good - any stockists in South London that you guys can recommend? Even if they don't have that model I think it'd be good to try a few different types out.

Hi - I've been looking for a leccy folder (regular or full-size) that'll fit in the car boot, and after a bit of research I found the Woosh Zephyr CD. As I'm 100kg and 6'2 I figured the crank drive would be handy and I like the stealth look with the hidden battery. Unfortunately, they seem to be out-of-stock so could you guys recommend a sub-£1000 folder? My commute is 15 miles round trip, with a couple of hills. I'd like something fast and preferrably something that doesn't look electric, like the Zephyr (I'm not a fan of bright colours or vinyl graphics either for the same reason). Any help would be much appreciated! thanks, Jon
