    Wisper Onto my 5th e-bike now

    Hi Simon, Thanks for choosing a Wisper Wayfarer! It does take a while to get DVLA to process the full throttle bikes, especially with the recent strikes and problems with their computer systems. Please let me know how you get on. All the best, David

    Legal Pitfalls

    The throttle control is also a useful range extender enabling riders to access higher motor power very easily and effectively for a few seconds when needed, rather than leaving the bike on max power continuously. Alex Bowden of eBike Tips writes… “The thumb throttle is positioned between your...

    Legal Pitfalls

    Hiya Flecc, I promise you haven’t upset me at all and of course you are correct… as always! :0) Our full throttle bikes are in deed individually Single Vehicle Approved, not Type Approved, my error. All the best David

    Hi BB, For the avoidance of any doubt: Wisper full throttle bikes that have been tested by the DVSA and Type Approved as an L1e electric bike in the 250W Low Powered Moped category are perfectly legal to use in the UK. All the best, David

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    Hi Sarge, a couple of points. Yes it’s a hassle but there’s a list of centres that are qualified to test bikes and issue certification on GOV.UK, in our experience they are happy to do the work, it costs £55.00.

    Bike on Fire!

    I agree with comments from Woosh. I would add that the biggest problem seems to come from incompatible chargers. I read a report from LFB recently where the owner had bought a bike from Brick Lane Market in London. (Without a Charger!!!) Then purchased the cheapest possible charger from the...

    Hi Pudding 835, It is a little confusing. Yes they still qualify as an EAPC. The rider does not by law need to have insurance, MOT, licence plates and motorcycle crash helmet. All the best, David
