    Are Wisper bikes that good on hills

    Hi Ghostrain, A standard (legal) electric bike may not be powerful enough for your colleague if he is absolutely dependent on a throttle to pull him up hills. If the gift is not a surprise it would certainly be worth getting him to have a test ride to make sure an electric bike actually can...

    Been on a few test rides this is what I think.

    Hi Dayglowfroggy, as you have tried the 706Alpino and liked it, you should also try the 906Alpino, just as powerful as the 706 but a lot more nimble due to the more rigid frame. Where did you test ride the 706? All the best David

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

    Hi Bruce As Flecc says, 16.5A is the maximum output available from the controller. The controller will only reach this level during start up and serious hill climbing. Any more power would eventually have a detrimental effect on the battery, controller and motor. All the best David

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

    I believe this 18Ah battery is only 24V and not 36V as on most electric bikes. If so it would equate to a 12Ah battery on a 36V model. All the best David

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

    No not at all stupid Bruce. I have no idea to be honest, I will know by this time tomorrow though. I am not certain if like the 250W motor it is a rated figure or simply a maximum. :confused: My gut feeling is that it's a rated figure, I am sure Flecc will know but in the mean time I...

    Hi Jerry Thanks for your comments! Yes we did have to jump through hoops especially regarding battery mounting. If the kit was to be used in harsh conditions, which we expect it will be, there needs to be decent suspension between the bike and battery. We eventually achieved this through...

    Hi Schoe The new Dapu motor is excellent, much quieter than last year's model with almost no drag. The Standard DaaHub is Black however if colour is an issue it would not be a problem to offer a choice of case colours, what do you think? The red buttons are a part of the DaaHub styling...

    Hmm.....Suspicious wisper for sale

    These situations are always difficult. The bike is certainly a Wisper, it is a City and probably dates back to 2008 or even earlier. The bike was originally supplied before we fitted suspension to that particular model. The vendor has now stated that she will provide proof of ownership to...

    When, Where, Why, What

    When did you first become aware of electric bicycles? In China during a business trip in 2004. Where did you see an electric bike for the first time? At the same time. Why did you become interested in electric bikes? They seemed miraculous, I tried one and could not believe how...

    Hi Jerry It is our new electronics junction (or manifold), the cable from the controller is split into 4 sets (L and R brake sensors, throttle and LED or LCD control panel) at the new "manifold". Each of the 4 functions has it's own connector so if for instance your throttle is broken it is...
