    Pendleton Somersby electric bike battery charge query

    I know that with my wifes Pendleton if the battery rocker switch is off, only the lowest bar shows on the battery. If the rocker switch is on it shows the actual level

    Bike Workstand

    I bought one of these last year and can't fault it. I've not had it go vertical on me yet with a hub motor and battery at the rear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they still have some of the memory saddles when I get down there!

    Discrimination against bicycles

    Could always go through in your Little Tikes car! :D

    Fastest ebike charge?

    I think that what VFR was getting at was that some people only like to charge to 80%, which I believe stops the BMS from balancing the cells.

    Newbe looking for good hints and tips

    I'd say at the very least one of those cycling multi tool thingys. I didn't think I'd need tools with a brand new bike. On my first ride to work my saddle came loose where it attaches to the post. Trying to ride whilst also holding the saddle in place with clenched butt cheeks for 7 miles was...

    Forgot to say, This is a review I did on my Wisper 705se if you were to consider them https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/wisper-705se-review.38513/

    Fastest ebike charge?

    It was only a joke. It's the Arc Reactor that Tony Stark uses to power his Iron Man armour in the Marvel universe. I think we are many centuries before we see a fusion/nuclear reactor this small! Even though in Back To The Future II there was the Mr Fusion Home Energy Reactor in the future of 2015!

    I can recommend Wisper. I use mine for the same sort of thing that you mentioned in your first post. I did have a problem with it, but Wisper collected the bike, fixed it and had it returned within a couple of weeks. Their aftersales is second to none. I've also heard great things about Woosh...

    Fastest ebike charge?

    I've just fitted one of these to my bike, negating the need to charge at all :D

    Wisper Iainchef

    My 705se is great up hills. I have the version with the torque sensor and handle bar throttle. It carries me (at 13 stone) up Bristol's 13.4% Park Street easily using the throttle and a low gear. I'm not sure on the newer models, but if you put mine in PAS 5 it acts as a cadence sensor anyway...

    KTM E-Style P .

    I decreased the wheel size on my Wisper's display and increased the top speed of the electric assistance. There is a natural limit on what you will get out of it though, I think the motors are capable of between 18-20mph before they run out of steam!

    Wisper Brand New Wisper 705se Grinding Brakes

    The guys at Wisper fitted new front forks and it seems to have solved the problem. I haven’t been able to ride too far on it though as I got hit off by a car last week :( Luckily the bike isn’t too badly damaged, my arm took most of the punishment. At least skin grows back!

    Wisper Brand New Wisper 705se Grinding Brakes

    Hopefully the last update! The grinding came back after about 100 miles so Wisper have taken the bike back to look at. They have confirmed that the suspension forks are flexing forwards and back, as well as up and down. This is causing irregular pressures on the disc and pads. New forks are on...
