Thanks for that John, and at list prices too, no premium.

Hi david
will there be any chance that you will fit a turbo switch or off road on the works 905 at a later date it could be a good selling point.

Also some better lights and mudguards too, the ones on it dont look that good for commuting in our inclement climate (looking at the pictures on the website - Ive never understood the point of lights under the seat, put your rack bag on and you cant see them)

Nigel, a turbo option is only available on an ebike if it's a designed in option in the first place. The 905e motor could be substantially altered to have a speed option like the Torq, but it would lose much of it's hill climbing ability in the same way.

John, full mudguards etc are extras advertised on the Wisper website. In other words, they are like an option pack, since not everyone wants them. You'll find mudguards at £19.95 under the Wisper Accessories in the left hand menu. LED lights are there at the same price

Not a problem on the Q bike with it's low carrier though:

Not for sale John, but the £845 Quando has the same advantage, or any other of the bikes with 20" or smaller wheels.

I must admit that when riding with saddle light strip shining on my backside in one of my local dark lanes, I wonder if drivers think they're catching up with a cycling baboon!

Hi Flecc

Please let me know which advantage we are missing and what information you would like?

Very best regards David

Hi Nigel and John

We have already looked at the mud guards and off road switch and have made changes which will be seen on the next consignment. We will also have a on off switch on the handle bars as the 905e has been designed to ride well without power.

Very good point about the rear light position, it's wrong! We will make changes immediately, some times we get so wrapped up in our work that we miss the obvious, many thanks!

Best regards David

I followed this one up out of interest and received this reply:

I am afraid they are all out of stock, i have now ammended the website.

I think it was possibly just a way of attracting people to their site, advertising all Twist series models available, but letting them know who I was obviously resulted in them stopping this not uncommon practice.

Hi Flecc

Re the above quote, I would be delighted to tell you about all the advantages of our 905e and would still like to hear what the "biggest advantage" is?

All the best David
