https://witness.theguardian.com/assignment/5237ef4be4b0bdcddbf1fcf2 Lots of interesting bikes and comments on here, including pedelecs. People from all over the world, travelling all over the world.:)

Well, I've managed the 1000 miles, in just over four months. This is the mileage I usually covered in six months on my normal bike, so it proves something. That 'something' is probably that it's a pleasure to ride, and easy to ride. Unless I've covered 20 to 30 miles, I feel okay when I get off...

Recession transport: bike sales overtake cars | News | theguardian.com I found this rather heartening, in these gloomy times. WE know it makes sense! (Tour of Britain on now, as I type - thank-you ITV).

Hopes grow for VenTo, a proposed 422-mile cycle path in northern Italy | World news | The Guardian Interesting article I have just read, on the same day I heard we are about 25th in Europe as far as renewable energy is concerned. Renewable energy, electric bikes, very long cycleways - it's all...

I looked into this when I saw one appear briefly on a Renault advert on TV. I'm all in favour of practical vehicles/radical thinking, but it still has four wheels. It will be a case of mmmmstop mmmmstop in the traffic jams in the mornings, instead of puttputtstop puttputtstop. I have cycled to...

Going Dutch? Berkshire site tests Netherlands cycling model | Life and style | The Guardian Found this today. Think what we could have if the fifty billion were to be spent on this, and not on a new railway line...

If you want to be happy, never buy something you can't afford, and never borrow money to buy things. Well said, and ignoring this philosophy is why we are financially up **** creek without a paddle. Once you have bought an economical bike Denwyn, you will be so busy riding it you will not...

Step-through frames. I bought my Woosh Santana because of hip problems. I had ridden a large-frame bike for sixteen years, then bought a Barracuda ladies bike, to try and alleviate the problem. It solved the mounting problem, but age has taken its toll!!! The Santana is so easy to get on and...

I was going to wait until I had reached the magic one thousand mile mark, before writing anything else about my Woosh Santana, but your enquiry has prompted me to act a little sooner. I have done almost seven hundred and fifty miles since the beginning of May, this year, with a two week gap for...

EBikes and parking DRIVE into town? Do you not have an electric bicycle?

There is a chap comes in to help where I work, when he is needed. He is in his seventies. He had a five-way bypass about a year ago. Yesterday, he was in the yard moving concrete ornaments, on the hottest day of the year, with some assistance from a small, blonde woman. Made me feel ashamed...

Try and contact them.... This is the firm I tried to email for information. EMails were bounced back. I paid a bit more and bought from Woosh. Have a look at the AliBaba site. Put in 'electric bikes', then choose how big a container you require!!! It all seems to be down to the service you...

See sense This subject crossed my mind, when looking at the ODK cargo bike from Juiced Bikes. If it came to the UK, the motor would be illegal, as I understand it, yet it is a vital part of the machine's purpose. Providing the speed limits were complied with, surely this would be a very useful...

I think you will have to check with Hatti on that one. The battery and controller are in different places. That may make a difference.

Please note, that my bike is the original Santana, not the crank-drive one with a suspension seat post. I did put a brief review on this forum as part of the 'Santana - rose or thorn?' thread.

Yes, perfectly. Very comfortable riding position. I put the original saddle back on, at lowest level, and my wife can sit on it in much the same way as Hatti has described! If you can sit on it with your feet flat on the floor, then you will end up pedalling with bent legs, which is not good for...

My wife would appear to have the same dimensions as yours. If you can give me time, I will get her to try my Santana and then report back to you. It is certainly value for money, when compared to similar step-through bikes. The ones offering a two year warranty are usually twice as much to buy...

Have I missed this being posted earlier? News, Latest news from Powabyke : Electric Bikes & Electric Scooters I did a search before I posted. If you look on YouTube with a search for 'Justin across Canada', it's another story that gives more support for EBikes.

Well done that man. I found a Green blog recently, quoting: 'It's not cheating, it's transport'. People will have to learn this about electric bikes, and accept it. I tested the endurance of my battery recently, on my Woosh Santana. The battery lasted longer than me! I managed 29 miles, and the...
