The Woosh Santana is going well. The area I live has lots of steep hills and all have been climbed to date. The best procedure is to get into the gear you think you'll need slightly in advance and select the power level you think you need and pedal steadily and hopefully you'll make it up the...

Well, after months of deliberation and research I ordered a Woosh Santana CD on Wednesday and it arrived safely today, a little under 24 hours from my telephoned order. Impressed by the speed of delivery. It came in a big box, well packed and all I needed to do was unpack it, screw on the...

Woosh Santana CD is under a grand and is great for hills

Hi. I've ridden a Big Bear and a Santana CD and think the crank drive will suit my needs better as my area has steep hills. I was a bit concerned to read another thread about water ingress problems with a Big Bear and best practice to change the angle of the cable entering the motor. This got me...

Hi from Stroud, Glos. I'm just about to buy a bike. Probably a Woosh Santana CD.

I'm assuming a lot of water isn't good for ebike electrics. What experience is there of problems with riding with heavy rain? I'm not going to leave home in a storm but sometimes they happen unexpectedly. Any advice out there? Any good tips?

That's what I call a succinct response! Many thanks d8veh.

There seem to be very good value and there are a lot of positive comments about them and the company attitude. They were fine on the test ride.

Hi. I recently tried out a Woosh Big Bear and a Woosh Santana CD. The power cut off at 15mph and then come back on when my speed dropped was noticeable. I read somewhere the top speed restriction can be adjusted a bit by the King Meter which means the power on/off/on effect is less pronounced...

Recently test rode the Woosh Big Bear and Santana CD. In my opinion if steep hill climbing is the issue, I thought the latter was best.

Hi Phil - very impressed with your inventiveness and diligence in working out the gradient. I'm more fortunate as the Highways Dept have installed gradient signs. Your news is very encouraging and I hope to visit Woosh soon. I'm looking forward to hearing your update on the BB. Thanks. Jules.

Hi Phil - I was very interested to read your post and look forward to more about the bike. I'm 61 and 17 stone and I am very interested in the Big Bear. I have hills around where I live, the steepest is 12% (1:8) but only about 400 metres long, so I'd like to know how steep your hills are and...

Are these bikes now sold? If available what is the location?

Thanks everybody - I'm leaning towards the Big Bear. I was hoping there might be somebody local with one, but it looks like I might be 'wooshing' alone in this area! Having said that I'd still like to hear other Big Bear ownership experiences. I was looking at the low step model and understand...

I think both the Woosh Big Bear and the Woosh Santana CD have a walk mode. I think this means if pushing a bike, the motor takes care of the bike weight, leaving the owner to walk beside and steer. Does anybody have experience of this and know how the bikes sense the owner's walking speed?

I'd like to know that too

That's good to hear. Do you know the gradients of the steep ones? I suspect I'm a lot heavier at 17 stone which might make the BB struggle?

Thanks to all for the replies and advice. It looks as if the score is still Big Bear 1 - Santana CD 1. Hatti from Woosh said the Big Bear would make my 1:8 hil but would need some hard pedalling. I was surprised to hear the comment that the Santana would climb it on throttle alone as I thought...

Hi everybody. I've been researching varous bikes for use in the Stroud area. There are lots of hills around and there is a 1:8 hill and a 1:12 hill approaching my home, so pretty steep. Age is 61, not fit and have arthritic hips. Weight 17 Stone, say 110 kilos, but hopefully this will reduce...
