Woosh Crusa

[Matt R]

I'm looking for an ebike for my wife. I've been looking for sometime and we are both drawn towards the Woosh Crusa. She is 5'4", so right on the recommended minimum height. Has anyone any experience with this bike? Would it be too big? I have a Woosh Bermuda which I'm really pleased with so I'm comfortable with the quality we would get.
Thanks

Hello Matt,

Can you give me an idea of your wife's weight?

Hello Matt,

Ooh dangerous territory! She's 10 stone
Thanks

Thanks Matt. I reckon the Crusa is too big for her, it's slightly longer than your Bermuda. The Petite would suit her better, plus, the colour matches your bike's.

Ok thanks
Why would you choose the Petite rather than the Santana2?

 

[Woosh]

the motor on the Santana2 is too powerful for her weight. She won't get any exercise even on low assist. The Petite has 5 assist levels, it starts very gently.

Is the petite powerful enough for 13 13.5 stone? Wife has a dodgy hip. Not sure yet how it will play out. But she has been recommended Recumbant cycling as a good exercise. In fact she's always better after a gym session.

 

[Woosh]

yes, the motor and controller are strong enough for 14 stone.
Your wife can ride the bike on throttle alone if she is tired.

That's good to hear. I love my bike. But I have to put in effort on hills.
