Ridding home from pub last night up a big hill and lots of horrible noise. Was using more assist than usual as it was late and I wanted to get to bed and didn’t want to stop to remove a few layers before the hill. Failure happened near the top of the hill so it was easy enough to pedal home...

I’ve no interest in firmware mods - well I do have an interest but will avoid as I want to remain on the correct side of the law. Would be buying a Woosh motor with the manufacturer applied 250w label for the same reason. I know that is somewhat illogical but it is what it is. Would get the...

And that’s perfect as they are sat in the window looking out at my bike and ready to jump into hot fuzz mode when they hear the angle grinder I am considering a Carrera Intercity 8 speed conversion. Not steel it does have disc brakes though and is cheap and I have blue light card discount as...

Still thinking about this but I have found a solution for my nights out in town. I have started locking my bike up in the covered porch area directly outside the police station that has CCTV and police at hand. Feels like a thief would be taking an unnecessary risk trying to steal my bike from there

I’m not struggling with a 48v battery…I’m quite happy plodding up at 6.5mph on the steepest sections (and at that speed the front wheel is starting to get very light and skips over bumps) can maintain a good cadence and not feel like I’m going to have a heart attack. Slight tangent, but my main...

Thanks, it was a very good price but not a good fit for my needs and a poor buy if it won’t get me home

Have been offered a Woosh Camino. Unfortunately too far away to try. I see it is 36v 16A rear hub with a notional 45nm torque. In real world terms will that get an 80kg rider + 20kg cargo up a long steep hill with 16+ % gradient in places with moderate rider input? Ideally not at a snails pace...

Will have a sleep on it. My honest opinion is that the Rambletta is the one of the best options at its price point and the most suitable for my needs. I have bought from Woosh before (TSDZ2 kit) and they were easy to deal with and quick to sort out a minor issue. I still can't get very excited...

When I’ve used it in the past I’ve folded it up into a 40l rucksack on my back. It’s light but a bit bulky. As I say, not planning to use it much so I’ll live with it. Of course a much cheaper option is to buy an old mountain bike with low gears I can puttle up the hill with on the way back from...

It’s a padded zip up bag with an over shoulder strap but not rucksack style. Adequate to carry on and off a bus but not ideal for a hike…

Sticking the bike in a boot is mainly to keep it safe when out for a few beers with mates in town. Still plan to cycle to and from home. My local ‘city’ (Wells) isn’t a big crime hub but still not keen on leaving a bike locked up outside at nightfall. May occasionally cycle to bus stop if I ever...

Looks just like a big handbag to me, nobody will bat an eyelid.

The Tern I have is relatively quick to fold and shove in a Dahon bag. Obviously it's lighter than an ebike. In reality it will rarely go on a bus. I'm currently leaning towards the Rambletta. I really don't want to spend too much and it looks the best option for my price point. I’m not going to...

Possibly talking at cross purposes, I was talking about locking battery on the Estarli. Back to the Rambletta, I understand it is not a KT controller, correct? I would prefer a KT controller with its great current controlling functionality. Also, how many amps will the controller handle...

The Estarli looks reasonably well put together and I'm liking the orange paint option Disc brake front and rear. Slightly lower torque motor but doubt that will have much impact. Smaller capacity battery looks the main negative but will still meet my needs. Looks like the battery is easy to...

Ok, so it looks like the Rambaletta may be an option - it's not very aesthetically pleasing to me (subjective opinion I know) but I'm no looker either. Not had any issues with Woosh customer service, although not needed much help either. I'm happy to do business with Woosh but anyone got any...

@Woosh I see only the rigid fort option on your shop, is the suspension fork no longer offered? I'm 5'10 and would ideally want a suspension fork I think.

I am guessing the Ramballeta should cope adequately with a 16% gradient and 100kg load (I'm under 80kg but let's include a few bottles of wine from the supermarket...). One of my main routes, including to said supermarket, is a 2.8km hill that averages 7% and 16% at it's steepest. My guess is...

The Jetstream certainly looks a fine bicycle. It's not clear if a TSDZ2 would fit but if it does, it would have to be orientated directly under the BB which leaves it vulnerable to knocks - not that I plan to bounce up and down curbs...also suspect that seat post could not be lowered with motor...

I’m after a budget folder. Must be able to cope with at least 14% gradient hills and must have disc brakes (certainly at the front). Would prefer torque sensor. Quite happy to put a fair amount of effort in myself. It’s for transport and I’m a busy person so want to get from a to b with...
