Just a couple of quick qs, can anyone tell me how to check full mileage on a wisper 806? And, what could be causing rattling noise in the back wheel of this bike?The sounds takes me back to my childhood days, when I had plastic beads put on wheel spokes:cool: except that new bike is spokes-free

3 weeks on and I have aged a decade;) the consensus is that I am probably unlucky. Bike sat in a box waiting to be picked up by the courier. The paintwork seemed to be least of my problems, although (not to exaggerate) it seem to chip easily which is upsetting at this price point. Bigger issue...

I have sent them pics of the scratches. They seem to genuinely want to resolve it. And I don’t want to return the bike cos I genuinely like it. Will see what they come back with.

:oops: Okay that’s good to see

Well I used the bike today already so replacement is out the window.:rolleyes: They did say it looks like the bike had a rough journey..not sure if that’s the case cos it came in a box the size of a house:D

I genuinely am in love with this bike. Takes time to get used to folding it but rides a dream. I don’t know what the cadence sensor feels like(so can’t compare), however the power only really kicking in when I’m exerting a fair amount of effort is perfect for me. So YAY! I did end up going...

An update. Ended up with a Wisper 806 575 battery. A bit more £££ than originally expected but just couldn’t compromise on the Torque. Turns out that straightening out of the handlebar stem was an IQ riddle I was close to failing but got there in the end Baptism of fire this week

I try to avoid credit at all costs (whenever possible).. If I give up on CS then it’s probably going to be a rambletta I’m going for. What a rollercoaster!

It’s the paying it off in instalments over 12 months that works for me, at this point it’s clear that the “savings” are non-existent.

A quick update…FIIDO is oot (as we say up north). Pogocycles who do it on CS charge 1k+ change when bought privately but the price goes up to almost 1.6k once the add VAT and SHIPPING on CS Off to see how I do with a Wisper (or quick glance at an Ezego)

That’s an origami bike

I suspect I will be back with other questions. I am determined not to have ones about “which bike to choose “ tho!

Prior to watching a dozen videos or reading that thread, I would have thought lol I needed was a set of tools, a bike and a conversion kit. The help of everyone on here has been INVALUABLE, and dare I say..lifesaving in more ways than one. So I’m very grateful.

Took the plunge with D21:cool:

From what I have seen in tutorials, a many details need to align in order for it to be a success. That’s why I think my newbie status is stopping me at the moment.
