Hi all, Firstly thanks to everyone that has jumped to my assistance! A lot of very good points made here... If the OP hates ebikes so much why visit the ebike hall? How does he know about Cycleman? Why be in China in the first place if only interested in vanilla bikes? Although everyone...

Battery prices are always an issue. We often have to pay higher prices from Chinese factories if our cells are in a special case. To combat this, we at Amps will be setting up a professional re-celling operation we are just looking into some certification issues but will be ready by the late...

We are talking to the DfT through the MCIA and BA at the moment, they have said they will give us a definite instruction re throttles "soon". As you say, at the moment they are asking us to conform to a TA that does not exist! I would guess that throttles will be OK until 1st Jan 2016 when...

I agree it's a mess Tony, And we still don't have a definitive instruction on whether or not throttles to 25k/h are legal in the UK or indeed if they ever have been! I am bringing in the new Wispers with throttle to 4mph just in case. However I am also bringing in extra controllers that will...

Hi Dave or should I say, Eagle Eye!! Yep thats the motor, small and with the new sine wave controller very, very quite, but packs a big punch and is a great hill climber. We are running it through a brand new torque sensor, which is amongst the best I have tried. When coupled to our new 575Wh...

Hi Shemozzle, Re the manufacturers plate, as far as I am concerned, they must be fitted to all bikes sold as of 6th April 2015. It should contain the name of the importer or manufacturer... Amps Electric Bikes UK, the voltage of the battery, max continuous rated power... 250W, max speed with...

Hi Harry, Thanks for the business! Re the balloon tyres, there seems to be a movement especially in the trail bike world to use much wider and bigger tyres, they give a more comfortable ride and the rolling resistance is only slightly increased. I test rode the new Charger GT 45 last...

Yes VV, I had thought of AAAAAAA111111 ebikes but that would be taking it too far! All the best David

That's correct Flecc, the Wisper brand, name and style will not change for the foreseeable future. We have two new ranges of Wispers one for this summer and one for the 2016 season, so the brand is as solid as ever. All the best David

Hi Trex, good point! The reason I took the opportunity to change names was to create a company where a customer could buy more than one brand of bike. To buy a Riese & Muller, blueLABEL or Birdy from Wisper (a completely separate brand in it's own right) seemed not to make sense. I am...

Thanks Andrew, Flecc and Jim! I will be at the Shanghai show on Tuesday and will stay for a week or so afterwards. We are show casing the New Wisper bikes there looking for overseas stockists. I must say even after one day I am enjoying being on my own again, with my small but beautifully...

That about sums it up! I have taken Wisper and Riese Muller and FreeGo will continue with their bikes. Looking forward to getting involved in Pedelecs again! Lots of very exciting stuff happening. Claud from The Electric Transport Shop has joined me as Technical Director, he has a massive...

Hi Peter, Sorry to read that you are having problems with your bike. Please either contact your supplier or me directly david@freegowisper.com and we will sort you out. To answer your questions, yes the bike was built in Germany and yes under EN15194 the bike does undergo severe vibration...

Hi Would you like to return your battery to us at FWG? We would be pleased to check it out for you to see if we can resurrect it. We charge £30 for collection and £10 to do the checks. We cant predict whether the battery will be fixable and would need to charge for parts and labour, return...

We can replace the cells however, the cells and BMS is where the money is spent. So if a battery is so old that it is not charging well, it would be worth changing the whole thing. All the best David

Thanks everyone for your input! David from Electrifying Cycles is spot on with the specs. The only things I would add are, there is a 580Wh battery upgrade available in the new year and the battery now benefits from RSCC and automatic deep sleep mode. The locking mechanism on the frame has...

Hi Chris, sorry this is not possible. Best regards David

Hi David, thanks, it's slower than I would have liked and exhausting! Please drop a line to Russ, he has you on the list. If you see this Russ, please add David for me? Many thanks. David

A big thanks to Helen and Russ who have kindly created a BEBA Sub Forum. This will give Trade Members who are involved with BEBA a place to discuss policy before it is made public. The sub forum is available only to BEBA members and will mean we don't need to drive all over the country meet or...

I am not sure Wicky, but I would imagine if injury or death of a third party was involved and/or the police were considering prosecution, a vehicle inspection would be pretty standard. I would assume they would always use a private contractor to remove a vehicle if the driver/rider was...
