    Foot Pump

    I have an old brass foot pump which no longer works as the washer is knackered. The pump has a barrel with a bore of 2.75 inch; any suggestions as to where I might be able to get a new washer ~ I assume there must be some vintage site which does them.

    Wisper Gearing

    Has anyone changed the gearing on a 905, I get tired of my legs gong round too fast on the flat, I would like something a little higher. I assume the only option is to fit a larger front sprocket rather than trying to fit a smaller rear one.

    Vehicle Auctions

    I am trying to track down a website I used to have bookmarked. It allowed you to search vehicle auctions sale prices to see what vehicles had fetched in the past, it was mainly aimed at classic and historic cars. I believe one of the options was to enter the car registration mark.

    trailer Attachment

    What is the best way to attach a trialer to a rear wheel powered bike. Most fittings seem to feature a bracket on the end of the axle, with the wisper I have the motor cable on one end of the axle and the deraileur on the other; is it possible to clamp onto the frame tubes?

    Electric Scooters

    How legal are electric scooters? There are many available but I am sure that i have read that there have been cases where the courts have ruled that the pedals are only ornamental rather than practical. Electric Zoom - Electric Bikes - Scooter Style - Buy Online

    Wisper not charging

    I have a 905, put it on charge last night as it was down to the red light, checked it this morning and the battery was in the same state ~ it had not charged. What should I check first ? My normal charging routine is every 25 miles/2 weeks. The light on the charger was on. The bike is...

    What size

    Got to replace the rear Kenda on my Wisper 905e as it has split at the bead, I am going to fit a Marathon Plus in its stead, the question is what size, the Kenda is 26*1.95 and the Marathons come in 26*1.75 and 26*2.00. The other question is who is the cheapest supplier ?

    Had a puncture

    Had a puncture this morning so had to use one of the Lad's bikes today, After first moving the saddle up from ground level to a more 'sensible' position I then found out just how much assistance the Wisper had been giving me ~ I was knackered when I got to work, and if people criticise the...

    What a difference a few degrees makes

    On friday went to work on the wisper with ethe orange light on, occasionally dropping to red. Today green all the way ~ without having charged in between. Oh, if only the low temperature performance of batteries could be improved ;)

    Wisper rear brake adjustment

    I am having trouble adjusting the rear brake on my 905, the offside pad continues to rub gently on the rim when the brake lever is released. Although the brake arm can be easily moved by hand it doesn't 'spring' away from the wheel in the same way as the opposing pad. The pad isn't jammed...

    Changeing Wisper gears

    An earlier thread was saying that whilst the 14-34T could be replaced with an 11-34T, those rotters at Shimano stopped making them some time ago. I have seen some for sale on Ebay but have no idea whether they are compatible with the Wisper, does anyone know what Shimano code number I should...

    Range ~ the challenge

    When it comes to what we want most would plump for more range. I feel that the e-bike will have come of age when it can manage the London to Brighton ride on a single charge (54 miles). We are almost there now with the wisper manageing 40 ~ 45 miles on a good 'warm' day.
