Reviewer: Dave Rogers
Retailer: The Electric Transport Shop
PurchasePrice: £1200
Time Owned: 2 weeks
Terrain: Moderate Hills
Strengths:
Strengths include styling and design. Very quite motor and smooth power delivery. Comfortable ride, good range of gears coupled with "solid" relable gear changes. Brakes are adaquate. Off road function is excellent for the few extra MPH it provides. Rides well without electric assistance.
Weaknesses:
Frame warranty of only two years. Bottom bracket bearings failed and had to be replaced. Difficult not to compare the bike to mass produce manufacturers who offer higher spec components on £700 bikes.
Summary:
Its fun to ride and a talking point. Even seasoned (non-assist) cyclists like the design and had fun riding the Wisper. Good support from the chaps in Cambridge - no hesitation recommending them along with the Wisper905se. Most enjoyable part - overtaking other cyclists and leaving them behind for the same amount of effort!
Overall Rating: 9.0
