Gosh - I did start hares running! So as the OP I probably should share that after a few days of very helpful input from the forum I have gone for a.... Carrera Crossfuse. I was really torn and Woosh look brilliant and love the design and the speed of replies etc but ultimately I had just heard too many times from the experienced the benefit of a Bosch motor etc. Time will tell whether I've made a good choice. Thanks all.
Woosh - thumbs up?

Well, I never really take much notice of bikes with crossbars, being an old fart who has trouble getting his leg over, but I looked at the Crossfuse, then at the Woosh Camino, and I know which I would prefer..... The Camino looks very smart, comes with a rack and mudguards, and is about £400 cheaper. Not sure about the battery capacity, but I bet a spare Woosh battery is cheaper than a Bosch one. I realise it's your choice, but the Crossfuse looks so drab and uninspiring. You have to like something by its appearance, whether a car, pair of shoes or a jacket, for example. Anyway, best of luck with your riding, Maldrich999. Once you have an electric bike, you'll find you always need to go SOMEWHERE!
the components for both Rambla and Rambletta will arrive at the end of this months but their batteries won't be here until third week of February. They will be on sale end of February.
The Rambla will cost £1,299 including delivery.
The Rambletta will cost £849

The Crossfuse I saw was a nice, cleanly designed bike not weighed down by loads of extra equipment.
Relatively narrow tyres which should mean it will bowl along nicely on road and cycle paths.
Not the most powerful motor, and not the lowest first gear, so it might need a lot of rider input to get up the steepest 20 percent plus gradients.
Few of those in most areas of the country, and they can usually be avoided if you have to.
I'm not familiar with your patch in Newark, but anything eastish in the UK is relatively flat, so all should be well.
Has anyone used the Woosh Zephyr off-road? Its a full suspension folder which would be great for moving around in a car.
My current 'full suspension' e-mtb is great on road, but take it off-road and its components rattle like a spanner in a washing machine. I've had to pack out the battery with foam tape.
Not looking for a downhill bike, but would like something i can blast along forest trails that isnt going to rattle and clang.

forrestry tracks are OK but the folding frame of the zephyr is not strong enough for heavy duty off-roading.
not that I noticed.
The RST Omega suspension fork is good, no noise.
No creaking, no chain slapping.
