    Bike theif Car spotters needed

    Unfortunately, there is no insurance I know where they will cover either an unsecured bike or a bike with the AXA style rear wheel lock. The latter does stop the odd chancer riding your bike away though. All the best, David

    25st rider - available bikes?

    Hi Chinsup, If there is no particular reason you are looking for a folder. The Wisper 905 or 705 Torque would be far better options for you than the 805. Although we have chosen very tough locks and hinges, a bike without a break in the frame will always be stronger. My choice for you would be...

    119kg, 5ft6in, 29.5in inner leg recommend a stepthrough bike please

    Hi Kate, There are four main differences. The Torque sensor has been upgraded, it's now more sensitive and less obvious. We have changed from freewheel rear gear cluster to cassette, the gear change is now much slicker and we can now use the cassette version of our motor. The cassette...

    Hi Bob, I trust all is well. Do you have the new Mark 2 Wisper Torques available to show and test? All the best, David

    First ever bike!

    Hi Sean, You may like to consider the Wisper Torque series bikes. They start at £1,599. They are considered to be amongst the best hub drive bikes available. They work with a torque sensor so the ride is very natural and you get instant power as soon as you push down on the pedals. You also...

    Amazon fined £65000 for shipping lithium batteries

    Its massively important that anyone buying ebike batteries and suspects them from being airfreighted insists they are sent by sea.

    First ever bike!

    After an absence of about a month the Wisper 705se is back in stock next week. We are getting rave reviews! NYEBC will have them available to test ride. All the best, David

    Amazon fined £65000 for shipping lithium batteries

    I have been warning people buying batteries from China about this for ages. Don't forget you as the importer are responsible for the battery and the way it had been transported as soon as the battery enters European waters or Airspace. As Dave says this fine was served on Amazon for batteries...

    Greetings - and a load of questions!

    Hi Ben, we have designed our 705se and Torque step through frames to take up to 130kg with a ten year warranty. They are expensive frames but we have worked hard to make them strong and rigid enough for men and women to ride confidently. All the best, David

    New Bike, is it worth it?

    Eagle Rider makes a good point, it's not just about the bike. FreeGo's reputation for good service is important. There's no point buying a new bike and not being able to get it fixed if and when somthing goes wrong. All the best, David

    Greetings - and a load of questions!

    Interestingly we sell about 7 step throughs to 3 cross bar bikes. Both bikes are chosen by both men and women. All the best, David

    What panniers fit on a wisper 705 torque rack?

    Events: 15th NEC Cycle Show Birmingham: 23rd-25th September 2016

    I agree Col, a complete waste of time. We need to understand that as in Germany and Holland the EBike market is simply a part of the bicycle market as a whole. We will integrate completely sooner or later. That IMO is a good thing. All the best, David

    newbie needing advice

    Apart from the motor position and the near silence of the Wisper, the frame is also important. The Wisper frame has an oversized dwin tube which gives the bike more rigidity than most other step throughs. This gives the bike a feeling of great control especially when cornering. It does not add...

    Events: 15th NEC Cycle Show Birmingham: 23rd-25th September 2016

    I spoke to the organisers yesterday. They agreed that the £12 parking charge is a rip off but it's down to the NEC. They said that they could lease the car parks but they couldn't afford to do so without charging the exhibitors or the visitors more or both. They also said if they did it would...

    New Bike, is it worth it?

    The Eagle is a good bike. However at that price it's well worth checking out one if the new Torque bikes on the market. Juicy have a new model and of course there's my Wisper Torque series. I think you would be surprised. Try as many bikes within your price range as possible. There have been a...

    Sorry, but I have to disagree re your comment "don't buy Chinese". We moved production to Germany three years ago and within 12 months had moved back to China. It's not the Chinese factories that are bad it's bad buyers. People often go to China to buy cheap, and guess what, they get cheap! We...
