Welcome to the forum Bagpus, as Yaffa has already said, the best advice is try before you buy. There are a lot of bikes that look OK, but the ride is normally the most important consideration. All the best and good luck, David

No sales pitch here Stu. Seriously, we are not trying to sell you anything. Simply wanting to assist you unlock the battery on your eight year old Wisper bike and get your pedal assist working properly again. I will always try and assist a Wisper customer no matter how old the bike is or how...

Hi Stuart Please drop us a line to support@amps.bike. All the best David

Hi Stuart, This must be one if our originals! It's Great to read you are still getting service from both bike and battery. They both must be about seven years old now? Your best course of action would be to give our service department a call or better still email on support@amps.bike. Do you...

Hi Dave, just off to dem a couple of bikes. I'll get back to you tomorrow with the detail. Yes it was an S class bike. It does look a bit ungainly with a full rear number plate, but we have proven it can be done. All the best, David

Hi Dave, yes we did. One of our dealers has registered a Riese and Müller HS model. It is now legally being ridden around Salisbury! All the best, David

Fantastic news, thanks for investing in a Wisper, I am looking forward to hearing how you get on. The system is very sensitive, in nearly all conditions level one is perfect for pulling away. If you ever need a more effortless mode, you can use one of the four torque sensor modes to get going...

Hi Lynn, Looking forward to seeing you when the Landrover is better! Best regards David

Thanks Morphix, The safest way to make sure a bike is legal is to ask to see the EN15194 certificate that applies to exactly the model being purchased. If you remember we at BEBA got into terrible trouble from those here who did not want to get involved. We wrote a good practice charter that...

Absolutely true. Anyone with an electric bike business that invests in the forum would hope to cover costs at least. However, most importantly the forum is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in investing in an electric bike and I for one would support Pedelecs for that alone. We enjoy...

Hi Mophix, should mention that Wisper is not insolvent. The company was closed when Wisper and FreeGo merged into the FreeGo Wisper Group. After 18 months it was mutually agreed by all parties that it was not in the best interest of either brand to remain together as both brands were competing...

h Hi Yaffa, you would be most Welcome to pop in. We are just a warehouse not a retail shop but we can certainly get you out in a couple of Wispers. Drop me an email david@amps.bike and we can make arrangements. All the best, David

Hi Yaffa, EBikes Direct also have a great choice if you are near TWells and it's a nice drive!

I absolutely agree with your comment, riding a powered vehicle without the need to register, tax, insure etc is a privalige and not a right. We need to be very careful that we don't give any reason for the government to reconsider. However... 350W nominal bikes with a 28mph limit are not...

And in China, they don't use the lights even if it's pitch black, so they can conserve power! Let's hope the DfT get their act together sooner rather than later. There is absolutely no chance that the flood of HS bikes coming into the UK will be halted. They should be made legal, with the same...

Thought some of you may like to see our new colours ready for the Summer if it ever arrives! All the best, David

So sorry about that Leccy. Shannons in York has the Wisper SE, Cycle Heaven is a Riese & Muller stockist, specialising in Birdy. Please drop me a line and I will make sure Carol has a bike ready for you to see. All the best David

I think Trex, like me, feels that there are some contributors to Pedelecs who are completely blinkered when it comes to drive styles. And he, again like me, is being forced to make a case for the much loved, tried and tested hub motor. We understand that when someone has made an investment in a...

I agree, it should have the same effect as a Torque sensor. However.... now, legal throttles are set to 4mph. The 4mph throttle feature should only be used for pushing a bike when not riding. Currently the law on this is very fuzzy. Strictly speaking the rider should not be on the bike when...

I assume the Yam is similar to the Bosch? It may not be as sophisticated, but I don't know the Yam very well. I understand the Bosch drive takes torque applied to the pedals and cadence into consideration when setting the power, much like the Wisper Torque. On the Wisper if the pedals are not...
