    slime coming out of valve

    We are divided on the use of slime within Wisper. For people like Mussles who can mend a puncture in a few minutes there seems to be little point in using it. However there are also those not so proficient find the bother of the inevitable puncture very wearing. On balance we feel it is...

    Hi Russ Is there anyway of notifying us by email if a certain "key" word is used in a post (such as Wisper)? Is there a way of notifying by email manufacturer's/importes when a new query is posted in it's clinic? Best regards David

    Thanks Torritime, it was a pleasure talking to you. I am really delighted you like the bike so much. The 805 and 806Alpino's hardly ever come up used, you have a bargain. Enjoy! All the best David

    EU's Vision on Clean Urban Mobility Overlooks Growing Use of (electric) Bikes

    Hi Morphix BEBA have been bashing away at them for twelve months or so, exasperated we have arranged a parliamentary electric bike day on the 10th May in Black Rod's Yard to introduce the powers that be to our amazing machines. (EDIT When I say OUR amazing machines, I am of course...

    Likely to need a new eZee battery

    As a matter of interest, we also pay a further 6% duty at the port of entry and of course that 6% attracts 20% VAT! By the time the battery (or bike) gets to our warehouse the cost has risen by 27.2% which has already gone to the exchequer! Then of course you have to pay income tax and NI...

    Used and new battery performance

    Thanks Indalo That makes perfect sense to me. Our own test figures which although are achieved on a flat circuit without many stops and a 75kg rider (rider and weights), do give an indication of what can be achieved in near perfect conditions. The permutations of rider weight/fitness...

    Used and new battery performance

    Does any one know how the motor industry arrive at their figures? As you can imagine I am particularly keen to find a fair test method, that we can all can subscribe to. Short of having a robot and a ride simulator that could include hills, I can't see any other way of working out the...

    Used and new battery performance

    Naturally NRG we have all the specs and know exactly what goes into our batteries. The BEBA member in question is just as interested in older batteries as in new. Thanks for your input, as always it's much appreciated!

    Thanks Allen and Frank Of course I love Wisper's and believe they are amongst the best bikes available and are great value! :) I am also a realist and understand that not everyone wants to spend the amount of money a medium/high end bike costs. If this is the case I would far prefer...

    Used and new battery performance

    I have spoken to Anthony (Wisper NZ) and his idea is as follows; Instead of setting a standard current of 4A would it would be better to set a standard power of say 150W? This would put batteries of varying voltages (24, 36, 37, etc) on a level playing field, because power = voltage x amps...

    Used and new battery performance

    I have just received this email from a BEBA member, I would be grateful for any thoughts. "I wonder if you could give me your opinion on this. Across the industry there are varying claims for the Ah capacity of batteries. I think we need (if there isn't already) a standardised average...

    Wisper 905SE Sport

    Oh no not the cops! :D We do need to be sensible about de-restrict Scatty. I do repeat myself, and I apologise for that but I think it is important that people understand that if they modify the bike so the power does not cut out at 15.5MPH +- 10% they are not riding a road legal pedelec...
