which Woosh

[poptop]

Still going round in circles but now "possibly" down to the Woosh gale with 13 AH battery or the woosh zephy cdn. but which is better for those hills all around me?
13ah battery would give me more power but woosh site says cdn is better for hills. Nothing is easy in life....lol
or any other folders , one might suggest.

if you want a Gale with 13AH, order it right now. The Gale is selling ever so fast and will be out of stock in the next couple of days. Forget the CDN for now, Woosh are still working on the new frame, it won't get here until late spring.

thanks for reply, dare i ask do you work for them? how do you know this? [ sorry , I`m very sceptical] lol

He’s Hattie’s uncle.

I jest - I think. He was or still is linked to the company as an investor or some such, so does know what’s going on there.

if so a good sale pitch, me thinks. but seriously would like to know what some of you other guys and gals think.

The Gale is a standard Chinese folder.

Similar bikes for similar money are available elsewhere, although woosh would be a decent place to buy it because there is after sales support.

The Zephyr is the nicer bike, well worth the extra money, assuming you have the extra money.

It is likely to climb better, but both will need a reasonable level of input from you on hills.

there are plenty of other similar bikes, like the Kudos Secret, the Volt Metro, the Ezee Quando. They are all good bikes, especially the Ezee Quando.
I only give you the information, I don't try to get Hatti a sale. The Gale with 13AH battery arrived only Friday before last with the GSM kits and most of the shipment has already gone, fewer than 10 left in stock. They won't have new shipment of Gale until Christmas. Woosh have already run out of stock of the CDN. You can easily check this out from their online shop. The problem they have with updating the CDN is their desire to fit a 13AH battery inside the frame. That can't yet be done. The most they can fit is 11.6AH with NCR cells and that puts a limit of 15A on the controller. The new CD motor can draw more than 20A at its peak.

thanks, that was why i considered the gale for the larger battery. only joking about sales ploy......lol..[ in sales and marketing for 30 years so know most tricks...lol....] My panic is because of the throttle going in January? is that still new law? is it worth waiting for cdn with bigger battery, my prefered bike on looks alone. all these [what appear problems to me with design etc] put me off making a decision. at the end of the day I am still no nearer to making a choice.
A folder that looks good, climbs hills fairly well[ living 1000 ft high] good battery life . not over 1k if possible. the storm electric with nu vinci at 700 mark is appealing but no one seems to know much about them....
so i carry on fumbling to make a decision.
cheers
