I have recently bought a Wisper 806fe folder and I am very pleased with it. In fact I prefer it in many respects to my 905. It gets a lot more outings.
It is surprisingly quick and with the motor switched off rides very well with no noticeable drag. Much as I expected after reading all the blurb.
The problem is the weight and difficulty getting it in and out of the VW boot. I have the proverbial bad back and it does not appreciate the effort getting the bike in and out of the boot. It doesn't fold particularly well and is awkward to heave in and out at around 20kg.
I love the Wispers but is there anything else on the market that weighs a lot less? I do not need much more than 10 miles per charge so a big heavy battery is not necessary.
