More excitement than Wissy

Never mind the KTM Wissy , a Woosh Sant Ana arrived in the family yesterday . It was more exciting, as we didn`t know when it was due to arrive. It was only when a City Link van arrived in the Close that the driver confirmed that he did indeed have a large Woosh box onboard . More excitement opening the large box and peering inside . It took more time to remove the bubble wrap than to fit the stem with handlebars and pedals .
That was all the fitting that had to be done , apart from charging the battery . I must admit that the machine looks substantial when compared to my Batribike Quartz Folder . Very nicely finished and scary in black . Certainly not orange and arty looking like your KTM Wissy .

I was the test pilot for the first run this morning and even on the first run into wind , the GPS was reading 16.9 mph pedalling with Medium assist . A 22 mile run this afternoon in formation with my Folder will be interesting .
Wissy if you happen to be out on your KTM and pass Prince William going the other way , he`ll probably think , `Oh only a KTM similar to my Ducati` . Now if he were to pass the black Woosh he would wonder about it and try to work out what it was, as it has no name or logo to tell you . I think he would be curious about this mysterious black bike and send a minion to enquire with the serf riding it .
He would be told it was from a far off land via another land inhabited by Essex girls and boys . A KTM from Austria via Norfolk doesn`t have the same ring about it .

Lots of happy bunnies with their new bikes at the moment. Get next week out of the way and maybe the weather will cheer up a bit for some sunny Springtime fun. :)

Thanks for making me feel included in your new arrival! Sounds good even if it has no logo ;)

One good thing about his Ducati is that it makes him go the other way faster! Look forward to test drive details but mine delayed due to yesterday's celebratory intake of fermented beverages. Need to get priorities right.

Will you be posting photos . I love buccle wrap.... . We could have a competition to rebrand with appropriate logos? ;)

Where's Eastseakse again?

Welcome comments, thank you. Intrigued by Prince William. ? Yes, I'm afraid the SantAna does indeed hail from the land of Essex girls (and boys).... but we'd like to think, in our modest way, has a discreet touch of class..... Happy riding!

Well the Woosh Sant Ana is fast when compared with the Batribike Folder .While I struggle to maintain 11 mph on Medium Assist , the Sant Ana easily cruises along at over 15 mph and the rider isn`t even troubled , even up slopes into a wind of 15 mph . The trip of 22.12 miles did not flatten my battery and given the lights left on the Woosh, I reckon it would easily make 50 miles on our route . The 2 Canadian Canadair CL215 water bombers are still outside Bruce Dickenson`s hangar at St Athan , soon they will return to Turkey to fight forest fires . Part of our route was around the airfield which was RAF and now is MOD but very much in the remit of the WAG , Welsh Assembly Government for our English Cousins .
In comparing a 20 in wheeled Folder and a 26 in wheeled Ebike having a motor with more volts , power and higher battery capacity, there is no contest . The Woosh would make a great Commuter too .
Wissy I think the technology to put a photo on here would be beyond me .

Hatti Prince William lives on Anglesey in a cottage which is kept secret and rides his Ducati Motorcycle to Valley RAF Airfield to fly his Sea King helicopter . Wissy might live next door !

Could be Eagle , we`ve seen the lovely KTM but not Wissy . I see that the KTM is black not orange as all the KTM Motorcycles usually are . Must have taken too anti anxiety pills before my ride this afternoon .

Perhaps "Wissy" is really Prince William posting under a pseudonym! And he's an Ebiker!!!:cool:
... could be ... and the signature might be an especially cunning decoy. Only one way to dispel speculation such as this ....

Whilst I know where W+K live (not that much of a secret on Anglesey) share same shopping trolley and car parking space that does not mean I am he or her.

Odd thing all these saints actually ... So many were Irish and shipwrecked off the coast of Wales. Odd that... no saints for ages now probably due to blydi William rescuing them ;)

RoadieRoger!!!!!!

Can we have an update on how the bike is going please!

What sort of distances you feel comfortable aiming for now?

Any bits fallen off yet or showing signs of wear?
