Hi Genesis It would be interesting to know where you heard about reliability problems on the 905se? Of course we do get the occasional teething problem, however they are all sorted out pretty well immediately. If anyone ever has a problem that is not resolved straight away please let me...

Thanks Bob! And welcome to the forum Ronnie. Regards David

Yes Tim it is generally the case already and Chinese made bikes will certainly become the best in the world if they are not already there..... I have been in China at least every three months for the last 5 years and the difference is mind blowing! Of course as in any country there are bad...

Hi Old Timer Unfortunately this kind of thing used to happen a lot in China. Fortunately China is now moving into a new era and like Japan will soon be manufacturing even more the best products made anywhere in the world. As you know many superb products now come out of China, including as...

I am delighted to be able to update you on the progress of BEBA. The Association, after jumping through a host of challenging hoops, as of 3rd December BEBA is now registered as a Community Interest Company No 7459906. Phew, that was tough! Anyone wanting to register for the first BEBA...

Yes Bruce they are the Stanforth brothers, the guys behind Saracen Bikes. Saracen sold over a million mountain bikes in the UK, the Stanforths recently sold the Saracen brand to Madison for an undisclosed amount so would imagine are indeed very well funded. I have met Paul and Rick a few...

Great news, sorry to sound a bit patronising, but whenever I see a bike or battery being sold (ebay on especially) alarm bells start to ring. All the best David

Hi Rendel I would be very cautious and would ask the following questions; How old is the battery? Why are they selling it? Does it have a charger with it. Where did it come from? If they say from the 805fe, ask for the frame number and I will check it out for you. We have...

Steve Snow Never to be beaten, Steve from Wisper support sends in this self portrait of his arrival at work last Thursday. I feel a competition coming on! All the best David

Of course the beauty of this is if you ever take your bike into Europe or the DfT clamp down on full throttle use in the UK, it is a ten minute job to re-restrict the throttle to the full EN standard. Regards David

Hi Eddie Until the law changes we are happy to make the necessary adjustment to the bikes and make throttle available up full speed. However as the bikes now arrive in the UK set to EN15194 spec. you will need to check with your supplier that the bike has been modified for full throttle...

Hi Tyler Although electric bikes with throttles will be sold with the 4mph limiter in place, like the speed controller it may be possible to take the limiters off so the throttle will work up to the maximum speed of the motor. We at Wisper do not advocate this and anyone making such...

Thanks Bruce!

Hi Bob, sorry about the delay, we have had problems registering as a Community Interest Company and using the word British in our name, so we can t open a bank account and therefore cannot accept membership from new companies. This situation is all but resolved now. As soon as we have an...

I agree Ed (thanks for your comments) through BEBA and the BA we are very keen to make sure that people offering electric bikes are of a high enough caliber to both understand the market and offer a high level of service. We at BEBA will be talking more about this next year. One of the major...
