Look at this bad boy, not compact, and probably not cheap, but 15l tank and a big battery

Well I picked up one of these from ebay without a battery and charger as I already have them on my strimmer.

After a muddy ride around it cleaned all four bikes to knock all the mud off. All on a single tank and about a 3rd of the battery on the highest of three settings using the narrow fan jet.

Works great, powerful but not enough to worry bearings and seals etc. Shower setting was great for cleaning legs and shoes off also.

Highly recommended if you are traveling by van or a big SUV. Its not that compact for a car though.

This looks like a fairly industrial beast and excellent for the task but at £260ish it’s a bit on the expensive side of things

I've got one of these

I filled it with warm water before a recent trip to Swinley Forest, used it clean two bikes and two pairs of dirty legs

Not bad for £100.

I've got the Mobi V15, bloody brilliant, but there have been occasions where one fill isn't enough to do one bike, never mind two!

Yeah, I agree. Definitely only just enough water for one really dirty bike.

 

[stiv674]

I'm not suggesting that the bikes were immaculately clean afterwards, definitely got all the mud off the tyres and frame etc. Is the V15 more powerful than the V17 I wonder and therefore uses more water?

 

[Doomanic]

I doubt the pump is any different.

 

[Fivetones]

Mobi v17 here. Powerful enough and great for that quick trail side wash before the bike goes in the car.

I had one of those Mobi ones. it broke within weeks. CRC sent a replacement. I didn't use it for about a year. When I went to use it, it didn't work...

So I bought one of those Bosch Fontus ones and it's perfect. Not madly powerful but enough to get the mud off. And off your legs, too. Highly recommended.

 

[Fivetones]

What was it that broke?

What was it that broke?

It just stopped working. Battery issue both times.

Bloody E-Washers, wouldn't be seen dead with one by the trails. I'm an analogue washer through and through. They're heavy, you have to charge them up, they're far more cumbersome than a bucket, They cost more, there's all the snobbery, always motor and battery problems you hear about on the internet. Smelly people are far more likely to steal your e-washer.

ok thanks. I guess not using the second one for a year was the kiss of death anyway.
