    Hmmmmm the chance would be a fine thing Eddie! Welcome home! The bikes will be probably be available with the 11Ah batteries, but we are waiting on test results before we confirm. All the best David

    Hi Indalo, as you can imagine were a little concerned about the healthy price tag on the bikes when we first considered the idea. Having seen the bikes and after having the opportunity to ride them for a few weeks we believe though not cheap they actually offer good value for money. We too are...

    Hi Jackhandy, We will certainly be showing at the Eden Project and by coincidence have just finished writing to the management about the event. I look forward to seeing you there. All the best David

    Hi Rob, we have left China all together now, our Classic Wisper bikes are now being made in the same factory as the Grace bikes, we thought it would be a good idea to team up with Grace for the UK. We have already committed to bring in the Grace MX and Easy for the UK and Ireland our stock...

    Thanks Rob for clearing that up! Yes the Grace One's headlight is certainly strange, but works well. Since the changes in the European rules concerning more powerful e-bikes we are considering bringing them is as "off road" vehicles but will only do so once we can resolve some insurance...

    Hi Hech, thanks for your kind comments on the MX, mine arrives today then straight off to the press for reviews. The MX weighs in at 23kg. The UK "specced" bikes will be just under £3,000 but will include all the extras like the Busch and Muller lighting etc. The Easy is not to everyones...

    Hi All, I have over the weekend set up the Grace UK and Ireland Face Book pages with lits of great images. If you have time it would be great if you could have a look and maybe "like" the pages for me! Grace UK and Ireland | Facebook We will be updating the pages on a daily basis as...

    Feedback to wisper (Not a moan!) please join in :)

    Thanks Waldey, as I have often said, the feedback we have received from Pedelecs members over the last six years has been massively influential in the way Wisper bikes have evolved. Sorry about the missing bolt, it should have been picked up in PDI. Enjoy your Alpino and thanks for the...

    Approved ebike list?

    I think once we have agreed on final wording we can then ask for an exemption.

    Approved ebike list?

    Although I think it will be finalised long before then, there seems at last to be some urgency behind the DfT team, they simply want to cut through red tape and get the uncertainty sorted out once and for all. All the best david

    Approved ebike list?

    The target date for implementation is 1st Jan 2016. They have to get everything sorted in the life time of the current administration. All the best David

    Approved ebike list?

    I was thinking exactly this Jeremy and was about to suggest it myself, I will ask the DfT if we can bring another representative to discuss kits, I don't think there would be a problem, I will need to discuss it with Mark first though as he is now BEBA Chair. I should declare that I have a...

    Approved ebike list?

    If you guys can put the document together I would be pleased to help in any way I can. First we need to decide exactly what we want to say. Some headings would be a good start. All the best David

    Approved ebike list?

    The subject of retrofitting kit systems was raised at the meeting. DfT stated that such vehicles might need single vehicle approval. We are going to be revisiting this subject at the next meeting, I believe it will take place February but to-date I don't have confirmation. As I will be at...

    Approved ebike list?

    We would have welcomed that Miles, 1HP would seem to be a sensible limit as long as the top speed and acceleration was strictly controlled, which would be problematic. This is the case in the USA, however because there is not such a strict speed and acceleration control, e bikes are causing...

    Approved ebike list?

    Many EPACS conforming to EN19154 already peak at 500W plus which is massively helpful in short bursts when hill climbing although they will eventually cut out and need to be reset. It was considered that as speed and acceleration were both restricted, defined by EN15194 that the extra power...

    Approved ebike list?

    I agree Miles, but that's what we have to work with, to try and change it would be a nightmare and probably impossible. Of course it gives us all scope to legally peak at higher a power than 250W, surely a benefit to all involved. If the peak was set to 250W the market like the bikes would...

    Approved ebike list?

    I absolutely agree Jeremy, BEBA pointed out to the DfT that there were a lot of bikes on the road that neither complied with EN15194 or the UK regs, and specified speed pedelecs in particular, legal in Germany and Switzerland (under stricter conditions) but not here. We mentioned this in an...
