You are absolutely right, Trex. There are some bikes we made less than 10% on pre Brexit. If we hadn't acted immediately we would now be making a loss on every one of those bikes we sell. 10% was over 100% of our profit.

I dont blame you you Mike, I would feel the same. Sorry John didn't make contact with you, he is normally on the ball! I wish you had let me know, I would have been on his case. It sounds like you've made a good choice, I really hope you enjoy your purchase. All the best, David

OOOOPs!!!! I really shouldn't rush these posts!!! :confused::confused::oops::oops:

Posted May 27th???? Come on Nigel, let's be pleasant to each other. I am sure we are are all delighted that you are enjoying your Kalkoff. Apart from the one problem with "clacking" they are great bikes as are the guys at 50 Cycles. Let's try and get along with each other? This a great forum...

We all have to keep an eye on currencies and even in the good times it's pretty volatile. The post Brexit crash is something completely different, wiping over 10% off margins in a few minutes. None of want to be currency speculators but if you are in business you ignore such massive changes in...

I didn't know that. We did have some trolls here a couple of months ago. I think one if them was particularly rude to him. I hope he comes back, he is a font of knowledge. All the best, David

Hi Steve, Halfords is supplied by one of my dealers. I probably wouldn't choose them. They offer them through the web site only. So you would be buying remotely. The best bet is going through EBikes Scotland, John is used to working with people all over Scotland, if you had an issue he would be...

Hi Steve, Ebikes Scotland is the closest for you at the moment. John's a great guy and has a lot of brands for testing, not just Wisper. Re Dave's reply he is absolutely correct re Torque sensors. With the Wisper you can choose between both Torque sensor or Speed sensor, so you have the best of...

Y Yes that's absolutely correct. Start off without having to move the pedals more than 1mm and the more you push the more power you are rewarded with. With the Wisper you can also twist the throttle for immediate max power without applying a lot of pressure to the pedals. All the best, David

Hi Mike, Please email me your telephone number, John will call you in Monday. All the best, David

Hi Angelnorth, thanks for explaining the Wisoer Torque system better than I have! Dave is correct a standard Torque system such as in most mid motor systems is fantastic but you do need a certain level of fitness. The beauty of the Wisper Torque system is you get the best of both worlds. 1. A...

Even better if you disconnect the motor! :p

We have to make money wherever and however we can Trex!! :D:D:D:eek:

I should add that torque sensor bikes will give a rider instant power on a flat or hill start from 0 miles an hour. Very useful especially on steep hills. Our torque sensor bike is unique, the rider can toggle between torque sensor setting and the more basic speed sensor setting whilst the bike...

That's really interesting. On the cadence sensor only bikes I know the act of simply turning the pedals will turn on the motor. If of course you are going down a very steep hill the motor will be on and driving but will use very little power. I should have been more clear and said a "slight...

Hi Alan, it's really no trouble at all. We always want to make certain our bikes are working perfectly and our customers are happy. If you would like to send me an email david@amps.bike with your telephone number, we will call you. All the best, David

Thanks Trex, we are not up to 5000 yet but are gradually getting there. We are certainly a cottage industry! All the best, David

Hi Trex we have seriously over taken the magic number. Our components are sourced from all over Asia. Most bikes built in China use generic frames and drive systems that are available to anyone. There is another way, our 905 and 705 frames and solid forks are ours, designed and tooled by Amps...

Good point.

It would be very easy if that was the problem, it's certainly worth checking. But with disc brakes the wheel would need to be very much out of true to cause sich binding. All the best, David
