I had my Wisper 806T legally derestricted and it has been worth every penny. I am now able to set off much more safely and if needed I can have a break from pedalling. Also great for riding up hills. Wisper bikes come highly recommended - I love mine. It is also very quiet.

Thank you.

I have a Wisper 806 T and would like to change the tyres to Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Has anyone been able to access the 1.95 or 2.00 width? 1.75 seems fairly readily available but I have been told it is not good to go down a size. Also i believe you were waiting on a delivery of rack adapters...

Gosh I am impressed by your knowledge. This could complicate matters but maybe 0.5 mm extra might not effect grip too much except of course it is a harder tyre. I have been advised that going for a narrower tyre on an 806 would not be a good idea but marathon pluses are now sold as e bike ready...

Thank you. I was thinking more of the e plus which is specifically for e bikes. Also the 2.0 in. I am a totally newbie to all this but I was assuming that a wider tyre would be more stable and grippy thus minimising the possibility of falling off in a skid.

Thank you both. I have been looking at the new Schwalbe marathon plus for e bikes. I am trying to find out if they are available for 20” wheels. They sound ideal but expensive.

Thank you will try that.

I would like to change my rear tyre on my 806T for a Schwalbe Marathon plus. There is a 1.75 or a 2.0. Which would be more appropriate? I also do not want to lose any stability so am not sure if this is the best Schwalbe tyre for me.

Thank you.

Apologies. I meant to ask if the extra weight made the bike harder to ride. I have bought the 700 W for my 806 T because I wanted it to last maybe as long as me! The bike came originally with the 375. The new battery is quite a bit heavier and I was unsure if this would effect the ride.

Should we go for the highest watt battery ignoring the increase in weight? Does this effect the

I will definitely post when I have done a few miles. The weather is rather against me at the moment as I don’t feel confident enough to venture out on wet roads. I wonder how good the small wheels are in the rain. My bike doesn’t have the saddle with a handle on the back. I would like to be...

Thank you - very reassuring. I think I chose the right e bike brand.

I have been pondering all this since the beginning of the pandemic! Always stressful to spend so much money on myself especially since accident meant retirement. Wisper bikes are hard to find so I had to move rather quickly. I don’t think I will regret the decision however scary!

Thank you for your prompt reply David. As above just arrived home with my 806 T from Axcess Bikes at Honiton who could not have been more helpful. After a test ride I preferred the torque so went with that despite my aged limbs! The info re the throttle will be helpful at times. Now looking...
