    I think Trex as the market has become more sophisticated and we all understand more and more what works well and what does not, we all make changes for the better. Bikes are simply evolving and improving. In my opinion, after building ebikes for eleven years, the cheap non adjustable...

    Hi Trex, just my opinion and the reason we spent a fortune on developing the Wisper blade forks. I have used the cheap style of suspension forks on my bikes in the past and know the issues. I am not saying they are not useful when selling bikes as a lot of people want suspension. I am saying...

    Yep I agree 100% Trex, if a rider wants a light weight nimble bike go for fixed forks, and high tyre pressure. If they want a more comfortable ride, go for softer tyres or decent suspension, but it has to be good suspension with pre-tension and lock out facilities otherwise it's worse than useless.

    I would agree on our Riese and Muller Mountain bikes with very high end air suspension back and front, with pre-tension (pre-load) adjusted for the rider. However these figures will absolutely not be bourn out with cheap "spring in a tube" suspension used on a lot of cheaper ebikes. All the...

    Absolutely, but when they are pumped to the correct pressure they are fine. At least you have the choice on whether to run them a little soft. 45psi (minimum recommended) will give a soft ride and 60psi (Maximum) will give you a normal ride without sapping any energy. The tyres aren't huge like...

    Good point regarding front forks. We designed and manufactured the Wisper blade forks to fit perfectly with this bike, they are very light weight and make the bike very nimble. We really don't like to use the cheap "spring in a tube" (Normally Zoom or Top Gun) suspension forks found on a lot...

    Hello

    Hi Clara, The Torque also has the Nexus and is a better bike than the Classic, much more powerful and is one of the few folding ebikes to have a torque sensor. It's an excellent bike, if you wanted one I would need to contact a Wisper stockist for you. The bikes from my June and July...

    Which bike under £1,000?

    Hi Hoppy, we max at 17A, the motor is from AKM. It's not silent like the Wisper Torque but very close. Certainly quieter than the older Wispers. All the best, David

    Thanks Hoppy for your very kind words! We have listened to and understood the battery price arguments. We have now started offering two replacement choices on all our new bikes. £249.00 a standard generic celled 375Wh or £449.00 a Samsung celled 575Wh with deep sleep and remote servicing...

    Which bike under £1,000?

    I completely understand, there are a lot of dud ebikes out there! I should say however we have a lot of Wispers up to 10 years old still going strong, and over the last 10 years they have improved dramatically. I am delighted that your ebike riding has bought you back to a level of fitness...

    Which bike under £1,000?

    At £999.00 we can offer a lot of bike for the money, no gimmicks. Disc brakes back and front (180mm on the front for extra safety), LCD display, 375Wh battery, 10 year warranty on the frame. And of course a choice of three colours!

    Which bike under £1,000?

    Wow... Although there maybe merit in your post regarding a Brompton, although I would go for a Birdy every time over a Brompton, I am sure you didn't mean to be quite so offensive regarding Chinese built electric bikes? China is a brilliant manufacturer, in my experience better than Germany...
