I had a long chat with Annick yesterday, this is by no means over, we half expected the registration to take place. There are a lot more hurdles yet to be jumped by the EBMA before they manage to get their protectionism measures in force. I can't go into detail here but suffice to say that we...

The same rules apply to air freight as passenger flights. If you should decide to send them by Air and miscommunicate what’s in the package, you leave yourself open to criminal prosecution. If, god forbid, the is a fire in which the batteries are involved you would be held responsible, whether...

Hi Tim, Unfortunately you will not be able to take take your batteries with you. Their capacity is 375Wh, the maximum you can take on a flight is quoted at 100Wh but I have seen that you can occasionally take 180Wh depending in what part of the world you are in. They will certainly check as...

This is why we think we are onto a winner. It explains just what the bike is for, we are about a kilo lighter and have a better groupset etc than the Pinarello. And I prefer Jeremy’s frame. Thanks Woosh!

It’s not cheap, but when Jeremy tested the motor, he loved the fact that he could ride through the 25kph limit without hitting a huge motor drag wall. He also feels that for the people this bike is aimed at the weight is more important than the capacity of the battery. The Wolverine C is very...

Thanks, it has already been spotted by the owner of an ebike distributor in Gold Coast. We are in negotiations but I am confident it will be available by your summer. All the best David

Thanks Artstu, I’d not seen this motor before. I’ve written for details. The reason Jeremy wanted the Fazua was the fact it can be completely removed in a matter of a few seconds, instantly converting the bike to a lightweight road bike.

Maybe brave maybe a little crazy, only time will tell!

It’s good to be busy!!

That’s very kind of you, thank you. I too am working today, no rest for the wicked! :)

Hi Trevor, We already do that on our standard Wiper range, nearly 500 parts all available on line with 1,500 photographs of the parts to make certain the correct part is chosen. Currently this is only available to our dealers, but since you ask, there is no problem in opening this up to owners...

Thanks for your concern, but we are completely satisfied with the high quality of all components on this bike. Have a great weekend.

A thing of beauty!

Hi Rob, thanks for your comments. We are endeavouring to go that way, but as you say, it's not easy. We have sponsored a Wisper Pro eMTB team that will start riding in mid summer. We have a couple of staff entered in the Enduro meeting at the beginning of May on Wisper Wildcats. We have ordered...

Good point Woosh, we are very mindful of such pitfalls. That's why we are using high end branded parts though-out, such as the Shimano Ultegra R8070 Di2 Disc Groupset which can be bought at just under £1,400.00 from discounters, but retails normally at £2,000 plus. No cheap plastic parts there I...

We can of course dumb down the bikes to get the price point lower, however we feel that to compete we need to be better and less expensive at the spec point. It's going to be interesting, fortunately we are in a position to be able to experiment at the moment. If we have got it wrong we will...

I should have been more specific re speed pedelecs. As far as I had ascertained from RM is that their Speed Pedelecs were selling extremely well especially in Holland. As a percentage of the whole market, I would expect the numbers to be small. 350W Nominal / 700Wh Max does seem to be a good...

Your argument was you didn't want bikes to go fast due to the state of our roads, then "When we get older, it's not just the muscles weaken, our brain goes slow, our eyes can't read the road sign as quickly etc." now you don't want ebikes to overtake vanilla bikes. Surely you know from anecdotal...

Hi Flecc, I do remember, we did manage to get rid of weight limits though. It's going to be tough and I doubt 1000Wh nominal will ever get through. If we need to register these bikes then that's good for us as long as it's transparent and easy to do. With the big players from Europe on board we...

As Flecc quite correctly points out, the limiting factor is currently range vs speed.
