I have the Infineum Extreme ebike on my short-list of bikes I'm interested in purchasing... mainly because of it's extremely light batteries (1.8kg) which are far easier to carry around. Although these batteries are only rated 6.5A. I would probably buy a second battery if I got the Infineum...

Hi Jason thanks for clarifying that for me, I didn't realise it used cheaper parts. That doesn't sound too good, but then I suppose it's no worse than other bikes I'm looking at in a similar price range (Infineum Extreme, FreeGo Eagle, Powabyke X6-Byke)

interesting I know this is an old post and all settled now, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth as I found it very interesting since Wisper is top of my short-list for a new bike.. As a retailer myself (not in the bike industry though) I would never get into a situation like this with a...

I'm considering buying a Wisper 905 Eco bike but have a few questions I'm hoping someone will be able to answer... I'm a bit unclear as to what makes this bike an "eco" and why it's cheaper.. it's supposed to be a slimmed-down version of the 905 Sport/City but it looks exactly like the Sport...

What got my attention was the battery power and reasonable size, also the massive quoted range, up to 80 miles assisted, which I'm sure you have to take with a pinch of salt, but still. They have the off-road option too for speeds above 15mph probably, but no information on what speeds it can...

I agree with the other members, the advertising on this site is minimal and unobtrusive compared to some sites. I'm just delighted to have found such an excellent forum community that's free and provides excellent advice and support. If the owner of the forum makes a little money, I certainly...

I just visited the Lifecycle website earlier and had a look at their offerings, mighty impressive bikes and company by the looks of it. The bikes are a bit outside of my budget unfortunately though.

That's an interesting thought Roni about the solar power... if it does become a lot more efficient in theory that could extend the range of e-bikes indefinitely, while also reducing Co2 even further than present low levels on e-bikes. :D

Xipi Thanks for the replies guys, certainly some things to consider with a kit build. I'm not sure I'd be able to do this myself, as I'm not very mechanical, so I'd either have to get my brother to do it or pay a shop. While searching earlier I did find a smaller dealer (Xipi) who specialises...

Good idea jbond, for a newcomer like myself it's rather daunting deciding on what to look for, and where, particularly for kits.

Whilst continuing my search for the ideal e-bike, I've started coming around to the idea of exploring a custom build by buying a new bike and adding a kit.. Aside from the potential cost saving over a branded e-bike, there seems to be a number of obvious benefits to going down the kit route...

I know some of you on this forum have been involved with e-bikes from the early days and have probably seen a lot of innovations and improvements over the years... I'm curious to know...where are e-bikes at the moment in terms of technology, are they reaching their pinnacle or is there still...

For anyone who might be interested Halford's have just announced... 10% discount on the entire bike range (ebike and non-ebikes), plus £20 free accessories voucher. You can also get a further 6% discount by purchasing through topcashback, making the total discount 16%. Not sure how long...

I've seen that some e-bikes use disc brakes and others use v brakes and wondered whether a bike with disc breaks is generally a better option for e-bikes? Sorry if my question is a bit vague..I'm a complete newbie to e-bikes. Disc brakes do look more complicated and involved from a...

Hi Synthman, I've been reading your thread with interest and sorry to hear about your woes with your smart looking Ninja scooter (I actually wanted one when I saw your photo you posted of one similar!).. Regarding the situation with your dodgy dealer.. he sounds like a bit of a rogue...

I once used a courier (HDN or DHL) to deliver a MTB I won on eBay (they only charged the basic rate, about £7 as I recall as the weight was under 30kg limit!) It was sent unpackaged and arrived in perfect condition..it was a cheapo second hand bike though so I was prepared to take the gamble but...
