Actually it’s a Pedelec according to the original meaning of the word, so this is exactly the place to be. It’s only a few years ago that the Government made the use of a throttle illegal on a Pedelec without TA. Many years after this PEDelec forum was first set up. All the best, David

This took several years to get to this point so I think scooters are a way off yet, this is no good for scooters though as they dont have pedals. All the best, David

For those who are interested her is a scan of one of the the TA certificates...

Hi Matthew, Im not 100% but I think you can use a full throttle on a kit bike as they are not regulated in the same way professionally built ebikes are. All the best, David

Hi Gbay They will be back in stock in two weeks. All the best, David

Hi Micheal, it’s been officially available for a few years. It’s perfectly legal but not very easy to achieve. We have spent some time over the winter sorting out the most efficient way to get bikes TA’d and now offer this as a service. Please would you give me a link to the other forum ebike...

Hi Neal, you are correct but on an ad hock basis, we now offer through our website and have made the process much more simple. We have had to take three lots of bikes to be tested this week and are trying now to make it a more organised and permanent part of our service. All the best, David

Hi Seanoge, no law change. The bike has to be taken to an MoT centre that's qualified to do the work, it is then tested over about 40 minutes to ensure that it is a road legal EPAC or EAPC now in the UK (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) conforming to EAPC regs. The bike is then Type...

Hi everyone! We will be offering a small range of perfectly legal (in the UK) Wisper Traditional eBikes with FULL THROTTLE from the beginning of February. We will have a limited edition of 20 bikes, all models and all colours available. The bikes will cost £189.00 on top of our published...

Thanks Digger, we’ll get in touch with them next week, we need a good dealer in Glasgow. All the best, David

Hi Nigel, I’m happy to read that the bikes are going well. A torque sensor can give up to 30% more range as it makes the bike more efficient, only giving a rider power when they need it. It also makes the bike ride more like a non motorised model as the power applied to the pedals is augmented...

Thanks for your patience, Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi Fozziebear, Good news... the next delivery will be mid January, they are built and waiting in Portugal for final QC. They will be dispatched W/C 4th Jan. We had some painting issues but after upgrading to 2K the problem was solved. Sorry about the wait! All the best, David

We were hacked so we needed to take it down. We will relaunch in January. All the best, David

All good points Matthew and I agree with you on everything you say. I have always wondered about the benefits and advantages of mid dives over hub. This is one of the reasons we designed and manufacture the only eBike in the word (that we are aware of) that gives people the choice of both on...

Hi Andy, Thanks for your interest! The Tailwind Aluminium will be available with the same bespoke aluminium mudguards and incorporated rear rack as the Wisper Wayfarer. The Tailwind C will be available with lightweight polycarbonate Mudguards and seat post rack. The stripped back Tailwind C...

You are absolutely correct Matthew. We can confirm that like for like the motors have practically the same torque. There is almost no difference in power between our 50Nm hub motor and our 100Nm mid motor at the motor. The Wisper Wayfarer mid drive is better for climbing steep hills and the...

As promised.... As we have both 100Nm mid motors and 50Nm hub motors fitted to the almost exactly the same bikes we have tested them both and we know this to be pretty well correct. All the best, David

thanks!!

Hi Egroover, I’ll send over the physics diagram tomorrow. Much like our Wayfarers, the 50Nm hub drive has about the same power as the 100Nm mid drive. However the mid drive is better for hill climbing as the power goes through the drive train. The hub drive is more efficient.
