    L7 Drive, Combo battery-bms-controller

    Don't know what to make of this. Sounds like a smart switch mode power supply in reverse, where many individual batteries are pwm switched into higher dc voltage combinations as required to dc-dc convert it up? Claims to be simple but would've thought this means 1 power fets, etc, per cell and...

    Double freewheel motor kits

    A surprisingly large number of connectors on that controller, if that's the real one and not just a generic pic for the Ad. If there is just a battery 1, a motor 2, a throttle 3, an on/off switch 4, but also has brake cutouts 5 and light 6. Good for simple 1 speed bikes. No need for display 7...

    Wisper 806 Handlebar, Stem & Seatpost options

    Also which size suspension seatpost would fit please? The Suntour NCX Bike Suspension Travel Seatpost is 350mm long and comes in 27.2 / 28.6 / 30.0 / 30.1 / 30.8 / 31.6 / 33.9 in Diameter according to one website. Tho i think they mean the 27.2 can be shimmed up to 30.8 and the 31.6 can be...

    Wisper 806 Handlebar, Stem & Seatpost options

    Hi, was wondering if 806 has an alternative handlebars & stem as Wisper site pics show black bike has catch on other side. Some sites show it folded with bars in between frame, which is more compact? Cheers. Mikel

    New model from Riese & Muller

    Careful what you wish for. They might bring out a real Bauhaus bike! Haha :cool:

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    Bring back real steel, chrome moly is light & supple, yes? And coz it doesn't fatigue, it can be thinner, even for cargo bikes. But I'm no metallurgist, so should do research before spouting off, hehe :-). Cheers. Mikel

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    Am i reading in the pdf on that website referring to a "Max 8kg je seite"? 8kg per side, or 8kg total? Mmm, pity, and 130euros, plus rack extn 27euros. Cheers. Mikel

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    Like the sporty rake on crossbar but +1 for clean lined stepthru as above. I do see the present rack's aesthetic attraction, so if 25kg, +2. Longer mudguards with flaps keeps it clean, +3, and a double leg stand means steering damper not needed maybe? Suspension seatpost always a nice option. A...

    Introducing the new Woosh Rambla

    Like the shaft drive with hub gear. And that arm is part of the stand, right? Or maybe it lifts one's shopping panniers off their roller wheels onto the rack (now there's a thought ;-). Really like clean step thrus with hidden cables, thumbs up. Cheers. Mikel

    Looking at whisper and volt

    Any rigid frame small wheel bike is bouncy/uncomfortable off road and the 806 seems quite rigid. A suspension seat post like the Suntour NCX is desirable. Just wish real sus forks were available in 20in. Mmm, wonder what headset size/type does the 806 have ? Wider tyres might help, if they...

    Furo X

    They seem to pop up from time to time, but don't always make it. Now the EU tariff will discourage them further. https://www.ridecarbo.com Web results Carbo — World's Lightest E-bike! Battery in seatpost, and what looks like an Eggbikes display. 3 models? Belt drive model, 250w, 9ah, 13kg, &...

    Newbie looking for bike that can tow my toddler.

    When you say "tow my 2yr old" would you mean in a trailer, or in a child seat? This makes a difference to what bike is most suitable, whether you need a crossbar model or not, etc. This shop seems to specialize in child carrying equipment...

    power problem with Wisper 806SE

    Thanks, that's v.useful, shows how to change some things, like trip & odo. Changing the wheel diameter to a smaller value might raise the max wheel rpm, while speed display would also presumably then be incorrect (too low). The current while pedalling on level5, 14.4-15.5mph is presently shown...

    power problem with Wisper 806SE

    I'm using an 806SE which does exactly the same thing. On Assist level5, goes to 15.5ish mph fine, then motor torque stops, speed falls to 14.4ish, and torque comes back on full suddenly, back up to 15.5ish, off, on, off.. etc. Gets annoying as it seems willing enough, and a smooth tail off would...

    Wisper 806SE not charging

    Well, the 3rd? new charger supplied by Wisper via dealer last week, appears to have charged the battery from 2leds to 4leds out of 4 on battery's indicator. And the charger's light changed from red to green, hallelujah. So we'll see how it goes tomorrow.. Cheers. Mikel

    Wisper After Sales Service.

    I don't know if admin access is required to do it but this post could be moved to the Wisper Clinic forum. I think it can be found with a search even tho the clinics no longer appear in the forum menu. (for reference). It would be a good place to put sticky links to the manuals & how to access...

    New Light

    I like the idea of a proper reflector with beam pattern. Scattered light annoys other road users. More efficient use of battery too. But when they approach at 100kph with headlights on full beam, i want to see where I'm going too! Cheers. Mikel
