Yes I get it!! D ;)

Hi Steve, Have you put the question to Wisper Support, they are the guys! All the best David

Sorry Eddie :o It sort of slipped out! New thread has been started though. All the best, keep enjoying your holiday. David

Thanks Hatti, I had not read that but it sounds sensible, where did you find the information? All the best, David

If the 48% anti dumping duty was imposed on the chinese suppliers I think I would look at shipping parts and final assemble in the UK,virtually all the frames come from China anyway....... Dave Kudos Thanks Dave, if and when the dumping tax comes in, we should talk. All the best David

There is nothing wrong with assembling bikes in China, we have been doing this for nearly eight years. However...... As Flecc has correctly pointed out, due to a number of factors including rising wages, the reducing differential between assembly costs in China and Europe have made the...

Wow, £10,000 for a bulk delivery seems a bit excessive Dave? I assume by bulk you mean a 40' container? All the best David

Thanks Flecc, very interesting!

Hi Fordulike, Yes you are correct, the new Grace MX is made by the same factory who will be making the new Wispers. We will be showing the bike at the NEC and will have full details on our web pages before the show. All the best David

Hi Lynda and thanks for your interest, I have cut and pasted your questions so I can answer them individually. Does this mean that the Wisper range is now going to be reduced to just those three models ? Yes Lynda, for the UK we will be selling three bikes in the classic Wisper range...

Hi Alan, The bikes will not be as highly specified as the SEL or Alpino range but will be more highly speced than the se and fe bikes so the price will fall almost exactly be between the two ranges. The folding bike will have the same electronics as the Alpino but will sport a Nexus hub gear...

Regarding the name Flecc, In the early days when I decided to call the company and the bikes Wisper, nearly 8 years ago, I always had a mind on the German market. The name Wisper is actually more well known in Germany, being a small quiet and very pretty river and valley. Wisper -...

We are pleased to announce that three Wisper Electric bike models for sale from late 2012 will be produced in Germany. Although our relationship with our Chinese OEM manufacturers has helped Wisper to gain a strong position within the Pedelec market both in the UK and overseas, the Directors...

Thanks Flecc! It has been a challenging time, the move has been very time consuming and nothing like as easy as we had imagined. We have a lot of tools in China, and although they are all fully paid for, getting some of them moved has been unbelievably hard. I am sure it will be worth...

Hi Linda The Wisper name and style is solid, not going anywhere, we are simply moving production to Germany, our bikes will be built at the same factory as makes the Grace bikes, hence the connection. Some components will still come from China, and we will continue to use the Japanese Dapu...

I know, I know Lynda! :) Big secret......... as from early 2013, all our bikes will be made in Germany! All the best David :cool:

Hi Lynda, you are absolutely correct, well spotted and thanks, the motor is in the front wheel so the bike is better balanced, so important on a folding bike. ;) I have contacted my webmaster who will make the change today. I must have read that at least 100 times an never noticed...

Oh don't you just love the banter!? Sorry to disappoint you all (John obviously will be delighted) but the less said the better me thinks! Happy days!! :D

Sorry Alan, I forgot to mention that the 805fe is still available, not up to the spec of the Alpino of course, more like the Dahon folder but with 14 gears. Electric Bikes, Pedelec Bicycles and Lithium Powered Cycling | 805fe All the best, David ;)

Hi Alan, I have just checked my emails. Unfortunately this demo model seems to be the only 806Alpino available. If you would like to have the bike we would need you to confirm ASAP as apparently we have several people after it! All the best David
