Mine was on the brown wire too! I've just changed it over as per the instructions. A bit of a fiddly job as on mine there was not much slack wire to play with. I've not tested it properly yet, as my tyre is off while I finish fixing and tightening broken spokes, but I can't wait to give it...

In a sense I think you are quite correct to say that! But for a different reason. The carrier is working for the seller, doing a delivery on his behalf. You have no contract with the carrier and he has no duty of care to you. You didn't choose him and are not paying him. If there is a...

Some people are not completely clear on this (including the odd e-bike seller) but all that the customer is signing for is to confirm the parcel has been delivered. You are not saying it is in good condition, that it has no faults or anything else. The courier who is delivering it is not...

Thanks John, that is most helpful. As you can tell, I'm not an expert at this! Frank PS - the guy on endless sphere posted some details which back this up. His still turns if you lift the wheel off the ground but not under load. Mine is completely dead - so electrical fault! Thanks

Not had time to do any checks so far, but interesting to catch up on the threads on endless sphere, where there has been a good deal of activity since I was last there. It does leave me a uncertain though as to whether it is the motor or the controller that has gone. I did hit a nasty...

Thanks Jimmy, Well done! Also thanks, Dick and David. I look forward to trying this on my bike! Frank

Yes - same for me. My bike is not really useable as a pedelec because of the cutting in and out. Not being aware of any other 36v hub motor bike that has pedelec operation and not having had experience of the 905e, I didn't realise that bike had cracked the smooth pedelec performance...

Thanks John - interesting. I'll check over my connectors again. I have a spare throttle so will try that too. Regards, Frank

Some good points there, Jimmy - most of which I'd agree with. I've now done about 500 miles on mine, and I think it is basically a pretty good bike. In particular I agree with you re: Brakes - the front one is very effective. Rear wheel removal - which is as easy as a normal bike...

Thanks Jeremy. I think I may as well keep at it and get another few controllers in! It's far more likely to be the controller than the motor, isn't it? It's my Wisper lithium that I'm using. First thing I did was recharge it and to see if that did the trick. I've not measured, but I imagine...

I don't believe the Wisper 705e has yet made it to these shores. I'm sure David can confirm either way. Frank

Thanks David for clarifying your position. Good to know that you are keen to stay in touch with people who wanted a Wisper so much they just couldn't wait any longer! Frank

Mandy, Glad to hear your battery is working fine. I was surprised by your comment about lack of handle as mine has a handle on it! At the top; it folds down flush when not in use, and can be a bit stiff. Are you sure there isn't one? Frank

No - mine is just the same. I think of it as being an e-bike and that the pedelec mode isn't really practical to use. I assumed it was because the controller was managing the high powered motor in quite a clumsy way to ensure average delivered power was 250W - but maybe the pedelec aspect of...

I think £70 for fitting the throttle and associated buttons is a fair price, particularly if it includes being taught how the buttons work - which is not straightforward. Having done it, it's a fiddly job and not everyone would want to take it on. It's nice to have the option to get help...

Hi Jimmy, Not quite. I think that was one of my first guesses too! The right hand button turns the throttle on The green one on the left is the de-restrict button The red one on the left turns pedelec on and off. It's not the best interface ever designed! David did say in this...

John - glad to hear that you are ok - sounds like a lucky escape. I've had a bit of a setback which is that my Tongxin has now stopped working! I'm not sure where the fault is. What happened was I had the motor fairly flat out for about a mile. The motor stopped working and the...

I think this was always the way it was going to go - just a question of when. The challenge for the manufacturers and resellers now is to justify to the consumer why they would want to pay such a premium for a high end bike when it doesn't go any faster. Is a 15mph Torq or Ezee Forte really...

The Wisper is a pedelec so it may be giving more, but I doubt it. On other bikes which have both pedelec and throttle, and also a manual -such as Powacycle - the throttle gives you the maximum assistance while pedelec is always less or equal. When I got to 24mph, my throttle was engaged...

Stuart, I've rigged up a spare computer on my motor wheel and, as I suspected, the Wisper unloaded top speed is lower, at 21.8 mph*. In my 207mm wheel I think that would equate to 292 rpm. I guess it is not surprising that the company may make differently geared wheels. I've not tested my...
