Retailer: Atmosphere Electric Bike Shop - Bristol
Purchase Price: £1450
Time Owned: 4 months (1000 Miles)
Terrain: Mixed
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths: Decent range and speed, solid build, reliable. Just enough oommpff to get up hills with me peddling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses: 1 Random rear tyre blowout, rear spokes need regular adjustment, having to remove saddle to remove battery is a pain. Can easily switch off power by accident. Changing gear when using throttle occasionally presents a problem as you have to let go of throttle and reposition hand to reach gear level. Bottom bracket and peddles suffer from ingress of sand (from riding on Bmth Prom). Should be sealed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Overall a great bike. Expensive but has kept me cycling when the weather would have made me give up on a non powered bike.
Would like to see the new computer and controller features from the dapush motor available on this as the hi/low power feature is a bit basic. Would love to be able to plot battery power against mileage and charges. I think this would also be useful data for Wisper to see how the bikes perform in the wild.
