    the Santana 2 has the best performance / price ratio and power to weight ratio out of all the Woosh bikes (the crossbar Bermuda is similar in that respect). It's easy to ride. You only need to find out at the beginning which gear gives you the most comfortable cadence, usually 4, 5 or 6...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    TBH, the cost of electricity produced by wind and solar has come down a lot and will continue to come down, making producing electricity from uranium expensive, then we have to add the cost of decommisioning. What should happen is our government should sponsor a UK nuclear PLC and crowdfund the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    a dream? Theresa May is going to make a success of it. many brexiters may disagree with her vision of brexit though. it's interesting to note that Johnson and Davis are not part of her 'economy reset team'. Still no good news since the referendum. Apparently we need a new sledgehammer. What is...

    it's heavier than most other bikes by about 1.5kgs - 2kgs because it has a bigger, heavier bafang SWX02 motor with bigger pulling power and comes fully equiped with rack, mudguards and lights. woosh sell direct, that's why the santana is inexpensive. I do agree with SW, there are currently...

    I must say I tend to agree. However, SR and RST are making better forks. RobF, which fork do you have on your Rose?

    newbie looking for recommendations and advice

    AN, you can find a crank drive step through with 15AH battery for this sort of budget here: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana-cd however, I would have thought a rear hub step through like the Santana2 would be cheaper and more suitable for pulling a child trailer...

    how reliable are the bafang mid drives to maintain ?

    CD kits are easy to fit. Watch this video: However, if you ride a home build bike, you are expected to maintain the bike yourself. Maybe it's time to brush up your skills.

    welcome to the forum. The Vogue has front hub motor. if you are going to pull a trailer, better have a crank drive or a rear hub for better traction.

    My Carrera Vengeance Ultimate/ TSDZ2 build (in progress..)

    your build should be the new standard build for commuters. Should be very low maintenance. Love to see your review when finished.

    the author of the Mail's article says McDonald's was accelerating plans to create an extra 5,000 jobs by the end of 2017. Lloyds' ex-employees should feel quite safe now.

    Raleigh are increasing prices by 10% as from August 1.

    David, 'wiping over 10% off margins' - it could be understood that you still keep 90% of your margin and profit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They won't be after Christmas. the main wave of price hikes hasn't happen yet. the full force of the cheaper Pound will hit the pockets of mums and dads in the run-up to Christmas. The trade unions may then start a few strikes in the new year, asking for 10% pay rise. My guess is the tory...
