Are you still expecting the 48v batteries in soon. I think Andy said end of July and it is the end of July.

I have another question with the whoosh kit...I am guessing the downtube battery has a void where a standard lishui controller is located? Is the cradle to controller hard wired or is there a plug connecting the controller to the cradle? I ask because I think I may actually prefer to mount the...

On the 350w motor, not really prepared to jeopardize my driving licence riding a non compliant bike. Chances of being caught are minimal, but would come out in the event of a serious accident...

Hi, Was all set to pull the trigger on a Whoosh kit (and I might still if the 48v batteries come back in stock). In these interim I have changed the BB so I have room for a sensor, changed the crankset to a double affair from a triple as the chainline was too messed up with the wider BB. Not...

I had a read of the manual and you can tweak the assist within a small range. E.g. lever 1 can be set from 45 to 55% assist. I have a suspicion (but no proof) that tweaking the higher assist modes may not achieve that much other than possibly bogging down a bit earlier on very steep hills? At...

I agree, this would be an improvement. The 0 assist with just speed and the watt output of the motor at a given point in time are probably both useful. Being able to see the watts going up is a good incentive to put a bit more manual effort on the pedals if you have a long way to go on a...

I must admit that I am starting to have cold feet on the DWG22. I keep flipping between that and theTSDZ2... I think the TSDZ2 will be easy to fit to my bike (although I may need a spacer on the BB where the front derailleur bracket meets the BB - may work without as kit works on 68mm BBs as...

Sounds like an intermittent metallic grating noise as well as the whine or did I image that or was that noise something unrelated altogether? The noise is at 10 seconds and 48 seconds for example.

That is certainly promising. I was also interested in people reporting bent axles but given your use on a tandem then I think I have little to fear. I won't be off roading and hopping kerbs at speed and that kind of abuse and I'm not tandem weight on my tod...but the holes in the road are a...

I suspect little comeback or liability on private sales? As a caver and climber, the amount of decades old climbing harnesses, helmets and ropes on auction sites is alarming. Most manufacturers stipulate a maximum of 10 years life for any PPE with plastic or fabric components.

Snap, just edited my previous post with similar suspicion. If true, then commercial importers / repairers need to take proper care (as they are legally and morraly obliged to do). I suspect DIY'ers are in a different position (but not a legal expert), however, even for a DIY'er, little comfort...

It does sound quite a reach for this to be potential manslaughter...but I'm no legal expert. Thinking some more, it may well be an importer / repairer who has sold this commercially rather than say a private importer? I can understand how a commercial importer and seller maybe more open to this...

Hmm, was going to buy this kit when the batteries are back in stock. Kind of worrying that 2 out of 2 may be duff... Guessing you have not got to the bottom of this? If it is a bad batch, there may be a fair chance of me getting a dud as well. How long ago did you order the kit, I think the 48v...

I am guessing this is the difference in torque between these different motors. The DWG22 is supposed to have a lot more lower speed torque. I also looked at the simulator that was linked earlier in this thread and once you understand how to use it, it's very interesting. It certainly shows that...

WOW - loads of detailed answers really quickly - what a helpful forum :) The graph appears to show (accepting it is not from the Lishui controller) that the assitance drops off in the lower modes at lower speed thresholds and also offers less power when below the point where the assitance cuts...

Trying to remember why I discounted the Whoosh BB torque kit after reading some good reviews. I see this on the Whoosh site: The TSDZ2 is not recommended for cargo bikes, please use our DWG22C kit for this. Not sure what the defintion of a cargo bike really is. Does an 11 stone rider with 20+KG...

Hi, Warning – long post… Thinking of getting around to installing a kit on my old mountain bike. Tbh, still undecided on the best option. Don’t want to fork out too much money so looking at a kit and not a complete bike. I am not enjoying driving much these days although I do have access to a...

Looks good , the battery will definitely fit in my frame, I'm good to go I think. Andy @ Whoosh confirmed a few things as well. I have another donnor bike that I can swipe some v brakes and levers off so that should be a free upgrade.... Final decision is if to go for 48v DWG22C motor (back...

Ok, photo didn't post, maybe too big, trying again...

Having slept on it I an going to buy a kit. Ordered a BB tool so will check that will come out ok before going any further. Will fit a longer BB and make sure front derailleur still works and should be all should plain sailing after that. My current bike fits my needs well, already got a good...
