    Help! 1st E-Bike, need help choosing

    What a disaster. Finally got my certificate value increased to include the delivery cost and now the price of the bike has increased by £100. I'm done with Wisper. First not being able to help me out with paying the delivery cost separately and now this. It's just not meant to be.

    No luck :confused: DIdn't have a lot of time after work to explain the issue and now they're closed. I'll call them on Monday, thinking I use my cert to order the 360Wh, ask them to upgrade it to the 540Wh and I'll BACS them the shipping costs. Hopefully that works, but not sure what happens if...

    Awww man, my certificate is the exact price of the bike, I didn't factor in shipping cost. Would have had to pretend I was buying it and go through the motions before applying for my cert to know the total :rolleyes: Hopefully there's some way I can pay separately for shipping, sent them a...

All I know is that 10 years ago I had to get off my bike and push after about a quarter of the way up :rolleyes: Does anyone know how steep a hill would need to be before the Wisper Tailwind Trail would...

    Help! 1st E-Bike, need help choosing

    Thanks for all the useful info guys, it's helped a lot. Think I'll go for this Wisper Tailwind Trail Crossbar, thanks Peter. If no one can see any issues with that I think I'll go ahead and get it ordered this week. Just need to speak to HR and get them on CycleScheme first. As for twist...

    Help! 1st E-Bike, need help choosing

    I like the Tailwind Trail, looks great thanks. One question though. If down the line I wanted to take it onto private property and use a bigger motor and a half grip throttle, is that something that I can add? I'm sure there's compatability issues with other components, but just in theory? In...

    Help! 1st E-Bike, need help choosing

    Hi all, Wanting to buy an e-bike for the work commute, about 5 miles, lots of potholes, steep hills and a short trail through some woods. Things that might help. Budget up to £4000 but ideally less and looking to purchase through a Cycle to Work scheme. I'm 5"11 and about 75kgs. I've looked...
