Shocking behaviour, that.
Den, lighten up a bit.
It was only a few hours ago that grumpy old Dave was refusing to help you.
Some forums are a rats' nest, but no one holds grudges or gets too worked up on here, so you post away as often as you like.
OK point taken, i appreciated his offer, apparently i am a bit cranky according to her indoors, who is nagging me to hurry up and get a bike sorted as well, and you wonder why i am cranky ...lol
den, if you want the Big Bear, it's back in stock now but if you leave it another week, you'll have to wait for the next delivery in September. The ones arriving in September are in blue gray gunmetal colour.
you can buy online .

I mentioned in another thread about getting a bike in the next week or two so there's time to get some pleasure from it before the weather closes in.
OK, there's always next season, but none of us are getting any younger.

Just noticed that, are the new ones in September the same spec, except for the colour.
Rob....in one posting you have pretty much defined the current situation of the e-bike industry. When I analyse the current major sellers they are all supported by some 'sugar daddy' in the background. In a lot of respects it reminds me of the kit car industry,generally under capitalised and run by enthusiasts. Kudos is a tiny part of the Rally Design group of companies but I find myself very active with Kudos because I find the product very interesting and it seems on the tipping point of becoming a more established industry.
Kudos has reached a point where the volumes are viable and the brand has settled down to a technology plateau,it is nice to keep releasing new models but also nice to reorder established models. Essentially we have 3 new models next year that will build upon the hill climbing strength that we have learnt with the BPM motor,details are embargoed until stock is to hand.

Unfortunatley I have lost £700 of my budget this afternoon, seems we ?? are urgently in need of a new bed. I had an idea she was up to something when she asked me about the cheaper bikes. So the budget is cut to £800. What is the difference between a Woosh Sirocco cd and cdl, I have done a bit more reserch this evening and now understand I got it wrong with the gear change issues, I am certain I could cope with them. I dont understand why Woosh keep recommending the cdl for me, its a larger bike, im 5' 9" 29" leg approx 16st 6 lbs, surley I need the smaller bike. Re the Big Bear, I have deceided against it, its a massive bike, and I dont really think its for me after a lot of thought. I need to put this to bed now and get the bike sorted.
The CDL has 700 or 28 inch wheels and seven gears as against eight for the CD and Sport CD. It has the same top gearing because of the bigger wheels but the bottom gearing is a bit higher I think.
BTW I'm not trying to push you in a direction that you don't want to go. But I was going for the Sirocco CD at first but they were sold out. That's why I bought the Sport CD, which has the same frame and motor, and is only different because of the bottle battery and lack of mudguards.
I bought some Woosh mudguards which fit on the lugs on the Sport CD as they do on the Sirocco. So with them fitted there really would be very little difference between them. Apart from the battery which is in a better place for handling really than high up on the back.

I bet you wish you made a decision earlier now!
I've test ridden the big bear and cdl and came to the following conclusion.
If you have hills you'll learn to appreciate ebike grunt
If you don't have hills you probably don't want an ebike.
Compromise
and agree to get a new mattress for a couple or three hundred then reclaim the savings to put towards your new bike…. To late for that.

Ha HaHi Denwyn,
How about we all have whip round and buy you a bike, would that make you happy
We dont have many hills at all, I have a Marin Hybrid pedel bike, but life would be easier with an e bike.

I had thought of that, but not really confident in carrying it out, anyway its more or less deceided when I get my new bike, the son in law would be having it. Good job hes in no rushSimples, if you like your Marin convert it
