Hi Vidtec, Simply put none at all! They have enough to do without worrying about such petty laws. As you quite correctly say though, it’s all good until a rider on a throttle bike is involved in an accident and the…. “been involved in an accident that was not your fault?” “no win no fee”…...

In my opinion as long as the throttle is incapable of propelling the vehicle when it is travelling at more than 15.5 mph it would be fine. However as sjpt has posted having a switch or "off road button" that bypasses the 15.5mph limit would render the bike "un-passable" as an L1e. All the best...

I should add, opening the throttle will put a lot of extra stress and strain on the bike, particularly the electronics. So before opening the throttle I strongly suggest any bike owner contacts the manufacturer of their bike to make sure that fitting a throttle does not affect your warranty...

Does anyone know of an industry expert who would like a full time sales management job introducing our excellent range of bikes to UK IBDs and helping to look after those we already work with? If so please ask them to email me. david@wisperbikes.com We are also looking for internal sales and...

Thanks for the fantastic review! re Cycle Solutions, I’m very sorry and surprised, they are normally superb. Would you like me to look into this for you? All the best, David

Hi George, your Oxygen Emate is still legal and due to something called “Grandfather rights” it’s likely ever to be so. I argued strenuously that the throttle should not be removed in the UK, as it opened cycling to many that would not be able to enjoy such a liberating mode of transport. The...

I’ll post details tomorrow. All the best, David

I wish it was only us who could get this upgrade done Tony! It’s actually very simple and anyone can get it done as long as their bikes pass as an EAPC. It isn’t a dodge, it was the DfTs idea to make throttles available very easily and cheaply making cycling more inclusive when the new laws...

Hi Chris, We will of course replace under warranty if we can’t fix it. Its best to charge it every couple of months, but as I mentioned earlier it’s vital that the battery is never left fully discharged. The best practice is to charge the battery after every use if possible. The battery may...

Hi Chris How old is your battery? The most important habit to get into to look after your battery is never to leave it completely discharged, even for a few hours. All the best, David

Hi Paul, Yes it is possible an 8 speed will fit straight in. You will need new chain, shifter etc. We would be pleased to offer advice if needed. All the best, David

Thanks Neal, and if I can chip in, we support our bikes for many more years than the bigger brands. And if we dont have the parts a complete upgrade of the electrical system to current specs (not motor as 95% of the time it's not needed) costs about £350.00 including labour and VAT. We have...

I completely agree Jef as long as the rider has full rotation, in many cases it's not possible to keep that full rotation going for long, if at all. All the best, David

Thanks, that's all I needed Speedy. Considering the excellent condition of the case I would persevere with BGM, try ringing them, they will save you a lot of money. All the best, David

Hi Adam, sorry not to have responded but I am just back from holiday. Please see your PMs. All the best, David

Hi Adam, unfortunately this is a very old bike and we only offer support for ten years on batteries. However, you will be most likely be able to get the case re-celled. Try... BGA Reworking 1a Gateway Mews Bounds Green London N11 2UT United Kingdom www.bga-reworking.co.uk Ask for Jimmy -or...

Hi Paul, sorry it’s a typo! We chose cable due to the bike being a folder we were worried about bending and kinking the rear break hose. However we may have a solution. So under review and testing. All the best, David

Hi Jim, Please email service@wisperbikes.com. We may have some in stock, if not I’m sure they will be able to advise you. All the best, David
