Sadly woosh don’t accept my companies ride to work scheme (Halfords) and whilst I liked this bike the most, I can’t ignore an effective 40% discount [emoji45]

I’m in almost an identical situation to yourself, same budget and also lumbered with the Halfords C2W scheme (which I gather is expensive for dealers to join) However I did find e-Bikes direct carry Kudos bikes, so I’m likely to head here as the scheme savings can’t be ignored. Woosh don’t...

That last sentence perfectly sums up what I’m looking for. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I wasn’t looking to derestrict anyways but thanks for the tip, I won’t “come back here and ask” about that :| I’d prefer a hybrid over an MTB as there’s a bit of road commute. - @Woosh are you saying you think Karoo wouldn’t be up to the towpath job even with trail tyres?

Ok so I had a quick try of the Halfords Vulcan and their Crossfire. Both seemed great but the Crossfire is more suited. Not sure about it as I’ve heard some stories about cutting out but surprised me anyway

Saw these guys but they seemed to have what I’d politely term “old school” bikes unless I had £3k to spend. Shame as they’re so local as you said!

I was concerned about the waterproof issues of the expedition when I scanned their user manual. Seemed to be very hydrophobic! Good shout re Gtech, tho that’s pretty much where I’m at. Reasonably fit with a canal path that’s pretty level. I think it’s out tho. Karoo looks better and better but...

Great advice thanks. I’ve pretty much reduced it to the Alamo/Stealth or Karoo with a strong leaning to the latter. Will check that cube out tho he’s no price up there.

What price are you asking please?

Hah the more I look into it the more seems to appear out of the woodwork! So Alamo/Karoo if the terrain is fairly smooth. Towpath is probably at the top end of what they would deal with. I swapped my roams tyres for semi-road versions and it’s sometimes a bit skiddy on there (was just road use...

Hi, apologies for the unsolicited pm. Do I see you ended up with an Alamo? I’m thinking of getting one but finding comments hard to come by. What do you use it for? I also love that colour scheme! Cheers Andy

Did this ever come to a decision? I’m in almost the same position with regard to the Alamo. I’ve a part road, but mainly towpath 7-mile commute (so some tracks but not too much mud). I use a Giant Roam at the moment which is fine with semi-road tyres. I like it’s retro-vintage looks means I...

Hi I’ve been looking to pedelecs to ease a 7 mile (each way) commute which sees me getting to the office in a nice sweat even in subzero temperatures. My budget is sub-£1000. The commute is fairly flat along a canal towpath for the majority of the ride so needs an MTB or strong hybrid as it’s...

Thanks for the quick replies guys, funnily enough I just had a look at that Woosh Karoo as you were posting (spooky). Looks nice and has a decent spec... also the Kudos Alamo looks very good too (or Stealth). You’re right about the conversion it’s going to take a little time & tinkering so a...

Morning folks! I’ve been looking to pedelecs to ease a 7 mile (each way) commute which sees me getting to the office in a nice sweat even in subzero temperatures. We’ve limited facilities at the office so I’m thinking e bikes could be the way forward. My budget is sub-£1000. The commute is...
