I offer full training as do most companies. The people I have employed are young and just out of uni. They study hard to learn English on top of learning the tech side of the ebike market.

I think that's rather a generalisation Zlatan, the guys that work here are well paid and well looked after, I pay nearly £1,000 a week to my Romanian tech manager. I also employ UK workers and they are all paid on the same scale depending on experience. I do not differentiate based on...

These bikes are still for sale, good value and perfect for a someone who isn't sure about buying an ebike. They have been very well looked after.

Thanks Col, it's turmoil at the moment but "from chaos comes clarity", I feel very positive about the future. However.... I would still like to win our court case against the EU!

As far as Wisper are concerned Col, I have to disagree on this point. We designed our first frame back in 2006 and have been completely involved in every step of manufacturing since then. We own frame and battery case tooling, we have paid for certification on both whole bikes and battery...

What effect will a no deal Brexit have on bringing bikes in from Europe and UK manufacturers selling to Europe?

Thanks Gray!

I really don’t know why I can’t find anyone here to build bikes. I offer good wages but can’t find anyone to build bikes. I advertised £350 a week for a trainee electric bike builder locally for several weeks and didn’t get one response. Once we leave, this precious resource of good labour will...

Hi Bob, IMO there’s no chance of the EBMA going for Taiwan, don’t forget these guys are only interested in their own businesses and they buy a lot of bikes from Taiwan. All the best, David

What a mess! We have about 1000 in stock now so wont need to increase prices until the Autumn when our bike will be coming in from Taiwan. We are still fighting this calamity, just invested another €47,000 in taking the EU to court. Actually I find all this quite exciting, we will lose a few...

One reason we are not going to keep the production of all our bikes in the UK is the lack of labour available here. The brilliant, hard working Romanian super stars that will be making our bikes, may still have to go home. Another reason is that we may not be able to sell into Europe without...

We will make the next 1000 City and Trekking bikes here, (both of last two containers of parts cleared customs yesterday!), then our Taiwan facility will be set up and ready to go for the Autumn. We will however build out high end bikes here from the Autumn onwards but that was always going to...

In truth all that's happening is we will make the next 1000 City and Trekking bikes here, then our Taiwan facility will be set up and ready to go for the Autumn. We will however build our high end bikes here from the Autumn onwards but that was always going to be the case. All the EBMA have...

I think our Wisper Torque range are the only bikes available to offer a choice of switching between both torque and cadence sensors. We too have a good number of professional retailers all over the country. They would be happy to demonstrate the bikes to you and look after your bike into the...

Welcome to the Forum Arnall.

Hi Crockers, not sure about colours this year but yes we are going to have an on line configuration system. Much like the RM model.

Unfortunately we won’t be at the eMTB Smile summer meeting this year as we are supporting Fusion Cycles on Dartmoor for the first Wisper Wildcat demo day. In the meantime here is a quick demo vid from our NZ distributor. Just posted by our New Zealand distributors. All the best, David

And that’s on a stiff carbon frame, you can now see where a lot of power goes, esp on an alloy frame. One of the reasons you won’t find an alloy frame in the TDF at the moment.

Yes we will Crockers, but the large frame. In carbon and I hope alloy too. All the best, David

Good point, I'll dig up the video of a frame flexing as the rider puts the power down. The power lost in the frame flexing on an aluminium bike is used to power the bike on a stiffer frame. The other benefits of a stiffer frame is more precise handling and of course weight saving. All the best...
