Hi I have just joined the world of ebikes, my wife bought one & wanted me to get one so we could enjoy rides together.
We live in a very hilly area so ebikes are a good idea.
Whilst researching bikes for my wife we came across wisper bikes which looked great and were recommended by the dealer.
After my wife purchased her new bike I was fortunate to find a used wisper 905 with all the extras with minimal use and only 160 miles for a good price.
To get it in the car the person had to remove the front wheel.
He took the spindle out of the centre which had springs either side.
I worked out which way the brakes were attached but wanted to check on the proper position of the springs either side of the front forks.

The springs one refers to are part of the tension system on the QR axle, the conical spring sits pointy end in on each side.

Thanks for your help,
