As Bertrand Piccard stresses, the aim of Solar Impulse is not to "revolutionise aviation" but to make progress in exploring new possibilities.

Solar Impulse to land soon, complete with ground crew chasing on E-Bikes. (Posh ones). Solar Impulse very similar to Justin across Canada on an EBike for ten dollars!

I found this series of films, this morning. The earlier ones are better than the later ones, I found. Very interesting to see how our bikes are made, and also, what it looks like in China. https://www.youtube.com/user/JuicedRiders/videos

One of our customers recently came into the shop in a highly indignant state. He rides an electric bike, and said he had just been stopped by the police and warned that smoking a fag as he rode could cause an accident. He was not impressed. I would say he is in his sixties. As for the 'cheating'...

I will take your advice on that, and make sure there is somewhere for the water to leave! When it's on the stand, it's over at an angle, so I will find the lowest point. I had no luck with the red tape, I'm afraid, but a row of 1cm bands cut from an old inner tube have turned my grips from...

The grommet on the down tube is originally oval, but because the cables had been clipped together so tightly, it was pulled out of alignment every time the handlebars moved. I snipped off a few of the cable ties, which let the cables find their own position, then sealed round them. Time will...

Thanks for that, Bill. Just for the purpose, I have just charged it after my morning shopping trip, so will try after the next ride. If it works, it will be very helpful. Cheers.

I don't know if I should have waited longer, before submitting a review, as I have only done 70 miles so far. The longest trip before charging was 25 miles,(pedal-assist) and the light was still on max on the indicator. The angle/position of the handlebars has suited me perfectly, out of the...

Kit or Bike? That was my original intention, as I had a perfectly good, aluminium-framed bike only two years old. But the cost of a kit, of equivalent spec to the Woosh Santana, was about £550. I would have had trouble sorting the brake/gear levers, so £625 for a Woosh bike, purpose-built...

I must admit, I went through all this before buying my Santana. I have had motorbikes in the past, so for about £800, I could have bought a useful Chinese motorcycle from a firm that has all the spares available. (Search for Chinese Motorcycles). However, it meant I would have had all the...

I bought one for my last bike, from EBay, for about £12. It works well, but at first use it feels as if you have a puncture, as it takes all the jars out. Make sure you get the correct tube size. I transferred it to my Woosh Santana, and put the saddle from that on my old bike, passed to my...

Well, I ordered my Santa Ana on Monday, and it arrived yesterday. Very helpful service from Hatti at Woosh bikes, just as all the paperwork with the bike looks very thorough. Easy to set up, and good finish. I went for a pedal while the battery was on charge. All very smooth, very comfortable...

Well, I emailed Hatti, and received a very helpful reply. I then looked at the Woosh site again, and realised that the dimensions of the Aspen are at the bottom of the page, as clear as you could wish! While the seat height is important, so is the distance from the handlebar stem to the seat...

Thank-you for your help everyone. I am trying to clarify something about the description on the Aspen page, but I like the look of the Santana, and I'm at an age when I think I can be forgiven for being impetuous! I might not be here tomorrow! Cheers.

Thanks for that, RoadieRoger. That 'Thing' we bought from Amazon was like riding through treacle, so I am wary of a bike with 26 inch wheels, although your brother seems to be happy. It was a 17 inch frame, and nearly crippled me when riding it, which is why I have considered the Aspen. My first...

If it's not a rude question, how tall are you, Old Dave, as this is the one model I like the look of. In your picture, the saddle seems set very low. I am 5' 7", and we made the mistake of buying a cheap bike from Amazon for my wife. It was horrible to ride, so we got rid of it. (Not cheap at...
