    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Well....I just got home, I had a spin around the block at lunch time but that was my first proper ride..... ....it was so much fun! Riding home on my Carrera Zelos was boring, tedious and just an uphill slog..on the Rio I actually enjoyed the ride home....like every bit of it. My fastest ever...

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Hi Bob, Bike arrived this morning, battery straight on charge, assembled in my lunch break...took about 30 minutes. Had a quick test ride around the block. All good! I was looking through the advanced settings that Volusia mentioned and I cant see where you can increase the Amps from 15amps...

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Well so far I can report that the team at Woosh have been fantastic, speedy responses to all emails and queries and a thorough attention to detail. Hatti even emailed me to inform me that thanks to the archaic government we currently have not working in Stormont that E Bikes are still illegal...

    That's it? Just a 15mm spanner? I think I can manage that! :)

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Hi Volusia, I am happy to report that my Rio MTB should (all going to plan) arrive at my work on Friday. I plan to build it at work and ride it home. My question to you good sir, is what do I need to assemble the bike. I know I need to put the pedals on and the front wheel so are we looking at...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    Hi Flecc, If all goes well I should be getting my Woosh Rio MTB before the end of next week, could you please put my marker at BT47 5QS I know most people only use the first part of their postcode but BT47 is very big! That makes me the first and only in Derry!

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    I decided to see if Woosh is listed on the Bikes 2 Work site as one of the Partner Shops and look what I found! That's one step closer to getting the Rio MTB ! :)

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    Woosh, its your expedience in replying to messages on here that is making me consider the Woosh now, customer service is a huge par of the buying experience and with the greatest of respect to Greenway, its taken them since Thursday morning to send me a form! This has shattered any confidence I...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    So Greenway finally sent me through the Bike 2 Work form today...... ......but, as its taken them so long to send it I have started looking at some other options and the Woosh Rio MTB is looking very attractive. Its £200 more than the Greenway but: 1. Has Hydraulic Brakes 2. Has Thumb...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    Greenway finally got back to me, they said please fill out the attached form and send it back..... .....and there was no attachment! E-Bikes Direct on the other hand emailed me back within 15 minutes and explained that I can buy the Oxygen using Bike 2 Work and pay the difference seperately...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    My faith in Greenway is slowly evaporating, I emailed them on Thursday morning and said "I would like to buy this bike, please send me the relevant info" And I'm still waiting, if they're this slow to respond to a "I want to give you money" email, how quick will they be if I have a problem 3...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    A quick look on their site and I can see that E-Bikes Direct are members of nearly every Cycle to Work Scheme going.....decisions decisions! The Oxygen is nearly twice the price of the Greenway!

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    Duly noted - I did think the battery, based on an earlier comment suggesting that DD motors typically want around 2000 watts to be effective, seemed a bit underpowered. My first choice is still the Greenway.......if they ever email me the quote I need! I'm going to call them again and see what...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    Your absolutely right, one of the things the Greenway has going for it though is that I can buy it using the Bike 2 Work Scheme. If I was buying outright I would go for this: Romet

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    And I take it there is no way to know that or check that without simply opening it up? The guys at Greenway said "for my knowledge it is possible" Maybe I should push them for something a little more specific.

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    That's interesting, I asked the guys at Greenway and they said the unrestricted speed of the E16M106 is 40kph (25mph) They also said that "to my knowledge you can add a throttle but there is no extra plug installed already" Eagle eyed D8veh noticed from the pics that this bike has a 3 to 1...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    Thanks Phil, I will drop them another email on Monday morning, just out of curiosity 1. Does your bike have a throttle? 2. Have you delimited yours? 3. If yes, was it easy enough to do? I'm glad to hear your having a good experience with yours, if that's all that's happened in 1200 miles then...

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    Well Greenway are not doing themselves any favours...I emailed them yesterday at about 3pm and said. "I am now registered on the Bike 2 Work Scheme, please send me a quote so I can submit it" They emailed back saying now problem.... .....here I am 24 hours later with no email. I phoned them...
