    Wisper 705 Torque or Raleigh Motus step thru with hub gears.

    Hi David You have identified me correctly. I bought the ex-demo 905 Torque after speaking to you personally on the phone. At the time I’d already ordered a new 905SE from SYEB, then noticed the ex demo Torques for sale on your website. You were very clear on the phone that you thought the...

    Wisper 705 Torque or Raleigh Motus step thru with hub gears.

    My Wisper Torque has been nothing but trouble. Customer service is well-meaning but rather unprofessional.

    Low battery range

    I've had a Wisper torque since September last year. The battery range has always been considerably shorter than I expected, and by earlier this year I was only getting a range of about 12 miles. Wisper were very good about this and sent me a replacement battery without question. However, this...

    Chain coming off?

    Replaced the chain this evening, and while doing so found what I think is the real source of the problem. The bike has a chain guard attached to the chainring which I think is intended to prevent the chain coming off. However, I noticed that there were spacer washers fitted to the chainring...

    Chain coming off?

    Thanks for all the replies. It's done it since new, so I guess we can eliminate wear. I took it back to the dealers in the first place and it was OK for s while, then the problem returned. The dealer is quite a way from me, so I've just put up with it since then, but it's getting really tedious...

    Chain coming off?

    I"ve had an e-bike since last September and I have a persistent problem with the chain coming off at the front chainwheel. Its an 8 speed cassette on the back and a single chainring on the front. Happens almost every time I use the bike. Any one have any suggestions for a possible cause?
