    What is the best lightweight Ebike to buy?

    Hi take a look at the Woosh faro this bike stripped of rear rack kick stand mudguards (in summer) Even replacing stock with carbon seat and post front carbon forks (if expense isn’t an issue), has to be on par weight wise with the other higher brands of light weight stealth ebikes

    PAS level parameters

    Hi a general question please If pas level 1 is 50% on any system and achieved range is 10 miles exactly using only level 1 (helps with the math) Then the parameter for level 1 is lowered to say 25% would the range achieved increase ? if so how much ?

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    You will have to check with woosh but I'm guessing that 32c will fit (mudguard and frame clearance) A lot of high price gravel and cyclocross bikes fit 32s for off-road use As for types there are many many with prices wide ranging But I'd strongly recommend puncture protect types again there are...

    Help with bike choice for old guy :-)

    One thing I have learned is is the weight of the bike is more important when peddling above assist in which case the woosh faro will be my future choice I'm sure 32c tyres (any cx type) would smooth out light tow and gravel tracks allowing you to explore But if your ride is to sit at assistance...

    GTECH E-Scent MTB - Motor Issues

    Thanks Woosh my diy skills coupled with the expense of upgrading deem it unviable plan on keeping as is for a while longer then selling on and saving for your faro with the larger battery The initial draw was the weight of Gtech minus the battery 17 kg max for my roof rack but I see the faro...

    GTECH E-Scent MTB - Motor Issues

    Hello Woosh not looking to change the set up of the escent was wondering if a higher ah battery sitting on the connection which houses the controller would be feasible I understand the new battery would only have an on/off display not a pas level option but this could be set by the original...

    GTECH E-Scent MTB - Motor Issues

    Hi try a ride in max mode and keep your speed below the cutoff speed with easy pedal rotation cruise as much as possible then as you begin to pedal again the pas should kick in try a few mile circuit flat as possible this may help to have the motor running for a period of time might help???
