Hi, Rog.
That's pretty much why i chose the Wisper. Its long range means that by the time i get back home I've not even used half of the battery. That should keep that little fella happier.
Best regards.

Well, me too - although I don't commute, and my Wisper will only ever be a 'fun' bike - to get me to exercise. Not much fun being had until the weather improves though.
I did have a bit of fun on Sunday afternoon. - I'd ridden up to Harrow Weald where there is a mini roundabout, and I stopped to let some cars pass - and someone on a road bike timed his arrival better than I had and zipped past me into a gap in the traffic and off up the road. In due course I followed him, and then we came to a slight incline.
His speed dropped drastically and I was catching him fast - so I slowed down to maintain a discreet distance. The gradient increases steadily approaching the next roundabout, and his speed dropped to probably around 7mph. He changed down several gears, and was out of the saddle pedalling hard.
I planned to turn left, and couldn't resist it - I went up on the pavement and must have given him quite a shock when I whistled by on the inside at about 20mph (God bless the green button - well, I was off road, wasn't I?) before disappearing off down the side road. I didn't see him again - I think he was going straight on.
You could miss the battery, partly obscured by the rider's legs, and otherwise it just looks like a nice mountain bike.
They do go wonderfully well up hill with not too much effort, don't they? Mind you, I'm a lightweight, which obviously helps, though from what you say you don't seem to do too badly yourself!
Rog.
