Hi Eddie, You are in - welcome to the map.

Hi easycommuter, You are in. Welcome back - it is over a year since you last posted!

Hi Phil, You are in and welcome.

Hi tagray, You are in. Welcome.

Absolutely brilliant. Well done to all involved - and for a great cause.

walterd themutiny You are both in. Welcome. :)

I suspect Wisper are selling at the RRP while some distributors are prepared to take a hit out of their own profit. If Wisper were to undercut them directly there wuld be little point in suppliers taking on the brand as very few people would buy from them. EDIT: Just saw Rog's answer which...

Welcome to the forum and to the world of e-bikes. I have a sneaking suspicion that you have made an outstanding choice of bike. Do let us know how it goes.

That is pretty unlucky but does happen in transit from time to time. No doubt 50cycles will send another one as I am sure it did not leave their warehouse in that condition. Pretty frustrating though so good luck!

Just briefly to support Russ. who has plainly stated that the thread has been temporarily removed pending scrutiny. It is unfair to expect him to do otherwise given the situation and unfair to criticise at this stage. Russ is responsible (in law) for everything published here. He therefore...

This has been very well covered in the motorcycling press, with 'Bike' magazine leading the way. They have an entry in conjunction with Brammo Motorsports. There is a full article in the July issue

Not sure I should admit this but, when bored of the old aircraft, we used to light them on fire and throw them out the window to simulate them being shot down. Alternatively, build a banger into the fuselage, light the fuse and fire it into the air using a catapult. I guess kids these days do...

Hi Nick, Thanks for the offer. :) The kind (and very friendly) people at Cyclepoint are confident that they can get new gears to me quickly, so I should be sorted very soon.

Hi John, I agree entirely. This is one special piece of kit and i have been throughly delighted with it. I must say that I have also been thoroughly delighted with the backup given to me by Wai Won Ching who has gone beyond the call of duty in looking after me in the past.

Hi Rog, Yep, that probably sums it up! I think regular greasing and not applying power until well under way are going to be on the agenda from now on. :o

I'm not surprised by the water. After my first foray into the rain a week or so after buying the bike, it needed the hairdryer treatment on the contoller. Since then, I have ridden it through rain, hail, snow and ice - even through a couple of fords - and (externally at least) it has seemingly...

My 'Torq Motor Jammed' thread has given me a new and humbling insight into those who inhabit this forum. No fewer that seven members have contacted me offering support - from donating motors, to lending entire wheels, to helping to track down spares, to offering to come half way across the...

I managed to get back after a day in 'Thomas Land' with three children under six and somehow still had the energy to pull out the motor. Compare these pictures with Flecc's earlier in the thread: The nylon gears have been all but obliterated, though after a bit of a clean the rest...

My next post will perhaps answer that question. (For those who can't wait, the answer is a decisive 'no but I should have!').

Thanks again, Flecc. I have just phoned Cyclepoint and they can get me one by July - none in stock. Motor only for approx £175 or complete wheel for approx £250. They can also do gear components. That is pretty good and it is a relief to know that if the worst comes to the worst I can soon...
