    Wisper 706 Alpino - No power to LED display

    Hi Andrew, this is a strange one, I will contact Support for you. Just to check, the bike was working well with no loss of power with more than one bar up then it simply stopped the LCD went blank. When the bike was recharged the problem was completely rectified? All the best David

    Update on my specialised/DaaHub bike

    Thanks Eddie, Yes we did have some errors with the controller, we are running 18A through it and the motor was reading that as an overload problem. The second controller we fitted to Eddies bikes had a "soft start" programe fitted which was unfortunately too "soft" and reduced the bikes...

    Marin Full Suspension with Alien Kit

    Hi Frank, I dont think NRG is knocking the price, I imagine he is getting a little fed up with the selling techniques you are using. I fell foul of this a couple of years ago, it is so very tempting to try and sell your gear here. I think it may be advantageous to keep your posts focused on...

    Wisper rear Bafang and front Dapu motors.....

    Yes, I am afraid it was Andrew! After a lot of research we were going to change to Schwalbe however on testing the new Electric Bike tyre from Kenda, we decided to stay with them. I actually cant remember a complaint about them this year. All the best David

    Wisper rear Bafang and front Dapu motors.....

    Hi Alfie, welcome to the forum! The drag is not that noticeable at low speeds, when the bike gets up to 15mph plus you may feel the difference then. Of course if you are thundering down a steep hill, gravity will add the extra power to cope with the drag. As NRG says tyres and tyre...

    Wisper rear Bafang and front Dapu motors.....

    Thanks Guys, it is am amazing motor, by far the best we have ever tried. We have been working very closely with Dapu over the last year and have stopped using the old out sourced controller in favour of a new Dapu controller, it manages the system very well, gives superb diagnostic facilities...

    Wisper rear Bafang and front Dapu motors.....

    It is nice to hear from you again Andrew, I was told that you were staying in Europe more and more now? It is strange but for the last year or so we have only had superb kit from Dapu, very much better than Bafang. I am always flattered Andrew by the way you like to emulate our bikes! ;)...

    Wisper rear Bafang and front Dapu motors.....

    I agree Umazooma, 8fun?? I think Ba is Chinese for 8 or similar and fun sounds like fang! That was the reason I was given anyway! IMO Bafang sounds much better. The Dapu motors are made at Dapush or Dapu Shanghai to exacting Japanese standards, we even have to wear slippers in the factory...

    Opportunist Battery top-ups

    Hi Andy, of course Flecc is absolutely correct, even though your battery would last for three days it causes far less stress to the battery to top up when possible, especially in the cold weather. You will of course also benefit from that "just charged" feel. All the best David

    Wisper 706 Alpino - No power to LED display

    Thanks Andrew and Alistair! It does sound as if there is an issue with the output fuse holder cap (located at the bottom of the battery, not the top). Jonah, it would be best to call your supplier and request a new style output fuse holder cap. it will be sent to you free of charge. I had an...

    Front or rear drive conversion

    Hi Rustic, the tape is only one of two options to fit the switches to the brake levers, there is also a set of levers with built in sensors included in the kit. The reason DaaTape was included in the kit is that many cyclists prefer to keep their own levers especially if they are hydraulic. The...
