Having been away from this website for a while I dropped by today to see whether there had been any development with Wisper offering a broader range of frame sizes for the 905 sport. I am 6' 4" tall & had previously been most interested in a Wisper because of it's range, the fact that it had a 'throttle only' option & the positive reports of excellent customer service. The only thing that stopped me purchasing one & ditching my car was the relatively small - one size fits all - frame size.
I had previously disregarded the Kalkhoff Pro connect as despite offering the bike in a range of frame sizes suiting both taller & shorter riders, I did not think there was a 'throttle only' option available. Having just checked the 50 Cycles website this evening I noticed that they do actually have the option of an additional 'thumb throttle' being fitted.
I would really appreciate some advice on this kind of set up: how practical is it to use a thumb throttle over distances of say 20 miles a day? (It sounds a bit uncomfortable to me). Is it possible to derestrict a pro connect so that it could offer an off road option similar to the Wisper? Which of the available pro connect frame sizes might best suit a person of my height?
As I said, I haven't been here for a while, I have looked through recent forum posts, but apologise to more regular members if some of these topics have already been covered in recent months.
