I phoned Woosh yesterday to enquire about their Rambla.
They advised me the frame is being redesigned and that none would be available for at least a year.
To say I was shocked is an understatement, I wonder what existing owners think ?

I am really sorry about that.
Bafang put up their prices and give long lead time.
From order to ready to ship is now 6 months.
Coupled to higher component prices, container prices went up an incredible 800% in a year, extra delay at Felixstowe etc. When your container arrives, they hold it for a week and charge you £750 storage fee, then charge you £100 HGV driver retention fee for each container!
The kits are hit by the same problems.
Facing long lead time means that we have to order larger quantity per drop, taking longer time to sell.
We have limited space, the only solution is to reduce the number of models until the various bottlenecks are cleared, hopefully by next summer/autumn.

I don’t envy you running your business in the current circumstances.
I’m sure you would sell many more bikes if you could only get your hands on them!

There is a second hand Rambla in Rochester if you are interested.

What models will have better supply currently and in the near future ?
