    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    Of course they can as can the Taiwanese. This where most if the high end frames come from. None end up in the bin. You don’t need aerospace certification for a bike. No one has aerospace certification. All the best, David

    And the design is expensive with the carbon layout plans.

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    The truth is that all carbon used to create bikes or cars is the same as Aerospace grade, it just comes without the super high levels of certification needed in the aerospace industry and is therefore less expensive. Regarding the stiffness and lightness of the carbon, we use three different...

    We use aerospace grade carbon. The frames cost a lot. All the best, David

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    At the top end we would use Shimano Di2 electronic integration. The carbon we are using is far stronger than any alloy frame and just as importantly lighter and more stiff. All the best, David

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    I agree Rob, there are millions of great ideas out there, a few people who have the staying power and skills to make a product and fewer still that can create a business to sell the products and then fewer still that can make a profit. It’s the last bit we strugge with!

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    Re the Pinaple, we will be showing for the first time at Eurobike, but I am worried about that market. I’m really not sure about very low Wh batteries or the ebike train/car commuter market. I am looking forward to getting the trade’s reaction. Our 806se and Torque are quite heavy and are not...

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    Thanks for your input al.b, I know it’s not going to sell by the 1000 but our new MO for Wisper Pro bikes is to produce arrange of high end bikes for more niche audiences. We will of course continue with our SE and Torque ranges too. Here is the frame design, in frame battery up to 500Wh. All...

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    Hi pedelecers, I am in a quandary. We have designed a new step through frame in carbon. Our target audience is larger, heavier riders wanting a stiff, solid, light weight frame with high end components. Shimano 7000 series and in frame removable battery. The bike will retail between £3,500 and...

    Hi Rob, at the Women's Tour we were welcomed, even the competitors loved our bikes! At the Men's Tour we will have the Wisper Wolverine on show, I am sure this will cause some indignation amongst competitors! However even road racers, become older and less mobile, I am sure many of them will...

    Thanks Tony. We had helmets available and everyone was offered one, about 25% of riders took up our offer. Both OVO and The Tour operators were comfortable, it was a real pleasure to see people so relaxed.

We will be at five of the seven stages. Finishing in London on the 9th September when we will have an OVO Energy Wisper...

    Scam or not?

    It's a scam, we see a lot of these, people have bought Wisper bikes from similar scams, there is nothing we can do. If it looks to good to be true it probably is! All the best, David
