    Woosh vs. Juicy

    I have! We went down to Cambridge yesterdayto visit the Woosh bikes. My god that Big Bear is something else! Insane power and so responsive. Fit on it fine with the spring seat, NCX was too high but without it it couldn't have been a better fit for me. Got me up and over the bike bridge...

    Woosh vs. Juicy

    I had a feeling that the Big Bear would preform better. I think that (though could be very wrong) the Sirocco 2 would be equivalentto the Juicy Sport? If so it's only £599 instead of the £849 from Juicy. Or does the Juicy have more power?

    Ha ha! Not sure he'd be to thrilled with that idea.

    Woosh vs. Juicy

    The Bears spec is awesome. I haven't seen anything close! I think we are definitely going to go down to Woosh because like you say, there will always be that doubt in my mind if I haven't tried both bikes. Even if the Juicy comes out of top at least I'll be at peace with the decision! My...

    Woosh vs. Juicy

    It is very hard to choose between the two. There are pros and cons of both. As far as I can tell they are very evenly matched. Even on price! I just need a little healthy debate on the two before making a final decision.

    Woosh vs. Juicy

    I'm on the hunt for my first electric bike and I've narrowed my search down to either the Woosh Big Bear or the Juicy Sport. I have pros and cons for each but I wondered whether anyone could give me any of there own input? I'm 22 years old, 5 foot 5 inches and weigh 92kg. Bike will be used to...

    Woosh Big Bear owners in Manchester

    Ha ha! I may be partial to an odd pie! Well actually I went to test drive a couple of Juicy bikes today, turns out I live half an hour away from the warehouse! I was so impressed with them! Rode the Sport it seemed very powerful, responsive and took the hills in its stride. Made them so easy...

    Woosh Big Bear owners in Manchester

    That's what I'm worried about. That it is too big to be comfortable to use often. I'm not worried about swinging my leg over... I'm 22 with plenty of mobility. When speaking to Hatti she informed me from the floor to top of the frame near the handlebars it's 33" and slopes away from there...

    Woosh Big Bear owners in Manchester

    I'd really interested in the Woosh Big Bear as my first electric bike. However, I'm from Manchester and therefore unable to get down to the Cambridge store to test ride the bike. I have messaged Hatti and unfortunately there are no registered demonstrators in the area. My main concern is that...

    There isn't anyone around the Manchester area who has one they would be willing to let me have a go on would there?

    eBay Electric Bike Kits

    I've actually been reading up on their site tonight. Woosh seems to know what they're doing and their predictor has helped a ton! I was actually looking at the Sirocco CD. I read that crank drives would be best for hill climbing? Is this true? How would it compare against the Big Bear? Any pros...

    eBay Electric Bike Kits

    I'm starting to think that it's an impossibility really. There's so much to take it and nothing seems guaranteed. £600-700 is a hell of a lot of money to me and not something I take lightly or take a stab with. Thank you for all your help but I think an electric bike is out of my price range...

    I'm unsure, will have a look on the way home. From what I can find out here in 1.1 miles I go 134 meters higher, the most concentrated part is 0.8 miles 108 meters higher. I hope that helps? I'm not expecting a bike that will drive itself up it as my old 1.1 peugeot struggled through parts of...

    Thanks for the links, will definitely give them a read and try to take it in. I'm no expert and definitely a rookie with bicycles. I own a motorbike so I'm not after it to behave in such a way. £700 is a lot of money to spend on something im unsure of. I just want to be able to get up the hill...

    eBay Electric Bike Kits

    Are they any good? In terms of aftercare a lot better but it's 250W instead of 500W. I'm guessing it'll be the same power as a standard electronic bike. Will it get up hills?

    eBay Electric Bike Kits

    Thanks for the help and the welcome :) I was guessing that the company wouldn't help with anything once delivered, but my father is very handy with all things and has offered to help so I'm sure if a ran into a problem he could help. It's just the worry that I get a kit that is twice the road...

    eBay Electric Bike Kits

    Are they any good? Or are they naff? Looking to get an electric bike that will get up very steep hills where I live. And I mean steep. All I want is to be able to get up the hills. A lot of bikes I've been looking at seem like they're fine for city living but I'm in the countryside and there's...
