    Torq R.I.P?

    That's one way of looking at it, but I would argue that it's perfectly normal business for a commercial partnership to come to an end. The parties then try to put alternative arrangements in place and make an announcement when they have something to say. I'm sure this will happen as soon...

    Torq R.I.P?

    I can't see why Ezee wouldn't simply tie up with another dealer. If I had to guess I would say that the guys at the Electric Transport Shop would have been hot on to Mr Ching. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Ezee's popping up on their web site in a week or two. What would be far more...

    Tongxin Kit 'where And How'

    No, I'm not really sure. I haven't got round to doing any more tests on it, so I'm only basing it on what I think was your suggestion, John, that if it was the motor I'd probably hear something but, as it is completely dead, its probably electrical. However there's no visible damage to...

    Tongxin Kit 'where And How'

    I've not had mine to bits, and would probably not try to push my technical competence that far! I've not given much thought to what to do with my Tongxin. Partly because I've been a bit busy but mainly because I've got a new (non-electric) touring bike which I am very much enjoying riding...

    New Powacycle Windsor - intermittant power

    Nin, Sorry to hear about your fall but hope you get back on your bike again. Glad that you got your bike working properly. I'd be 99% sure that the battery wasn't charged when you picked it up. That is exactly how a Powacycle performs when the battery is getting flat (my wife has a Windsor)...

    Tongxin Kit 'where And How'

    If you do go for a Tongxin, I would recommend the version with the hall sensors. The sensorless motors are fine but the controllers that go with them do not seem to be vey reliable. Mine broke and a poor chap on the endless-sphere forum has had two go in about 20 miles of riding. I...

    I really didn't want to extend this thread as I am a bit sick of it but there are some things that I feel are getting confused so please forgive me making one more post. As a consumer you have two forms of protection. 1. Statutory rights to return it to the retailer if not in good...

    What I meant was that, as we know, Wisper UK is the OEM as well as the local distributor. If it was just a distributor then the German bikes would be absolutely nothing to do with them. Because they are the OEM, I felt they had an obligation to operate a sensible warranty system, which by my...

    I agree with almost all of that apart from one point...but its all been said before so I won't go on!

    I understand your point, Flecc, and sympathise with where you are coming from. However, because it doesn't correctly represent my position nor, I believe, that of other Wisper 905se owners with whom I've communicated, I'll clarify. I've never asked Wisper for any support whatsoever...

    New to forum, advice gratefully received!

    Tony, It's a market and £300 is the price! Markets may be dumb but they are not silly! Markets in fact represent the accumulated wisdom and folly of all those who take part in them. If we weren't prepared to pay the price we wouldn't have bought the product. You could say think razor...

    New to forum, advice gratefully received!

    Sorry Al but I think you've got a bit confused here! David is telling us a fact about what it costs him to buy the very latest high quality, high capacity, light, and efficient battery from one of the world's leading suppliers, relative to what it costs him to buy the other components that...

    Rob, Welcome to the forum. You're not alone. I had the same thing with my Wisper 905se. It's now fixed thanks to Dick and David from Wisper, who have provided detailed instructions on what to do, and to JimmyEngland, who, based on his experience of the old 905e, knew that Wisper could do...

    New 905SE wiring modification

    Good modifications, Jimmy, which will improve the usability of the bike. I never (intentionally) use the left hand switches, and twisted them round away from my hand to avoid accidentally pressing them, but they could be removed. The central console has two uses as I see it. Firstly...

    No, but I'm sure you can put a deposit down now for delivery in the future...! Only joking, Frank

    Wisper 905SE

    Thanks David for following up. I've actually fixed mine already. James (JimmyEngland) sent me on the pictures last night and I checked mine. The plug was on the brown wire on mine too so I swapped it to the brown. Not got it tried out yet but looking forward to it. I thought it was a...

    My Tongxin kit bike

    As Flecc says, Jeremy is the undoubted expert in fitting a Tongxin to a recumbent. I can answer only a couple of your questions. Some are ones I tried to clarify with Diana but with no luck! 1. I'm not aware of this being used with disk brakes and imagine you would need to do some basic...

    Good Self PDI ?

    It's actually quite a difficult thing to produce a simple checklist. Checking a bike is ok requires a lot of detailed knowledge learned over years. The content of the list depends more than anything on the competence and knowledge of the checker. I am no expert but I imagine there is feel and...
