Wisper They can buy a Wisper any time! :eek: All the best David

Tempted I was very tempted Flecc! :o I have too good a relationship with him though!! :D All the best David

Manufacturing Hi Mike Due to the huge numbers of electric bikes made in and sold in China there are many hundreds of manufacturers all over the country. However there are probably under 100 large manufacturing companies and most of these simply make a bikes ready for re branding and...

100 years ago there were more electric cars on the road than internal combustion engined vehicles. What went wrong? If you have not seen this documentary take half an hour to watch it. Documentary EV1 on Vimeo All the best David

Lords OK Flecc I will post all the questions and answers as I get them through. Europe is certainly dictating the rules governing electric bike standards, however we are still autonomous with regards to the law in respect of insurance and licensing. More importantly we are lobbying for...

Would, anyone like me to keep the forum up to date with the Hansard entries on questions asked in the Lords regarding electric bikes/transport? Lord Laird who is President of BEBA will be asking questions and in my position at BEBA they are all being sent to me as and when published. If...

Date for Wisper Kit Hi Mapman We will be flying in some of the first production run in January, I am sure we could work somthing out. All the best David

806 Thanks Flecc for your input. The 806 is certainly a different bike to the old 805's. However it will not have the punch associated with the 504Wh 905's. A smaller battery not only reduces range but also has an effect on the power delivered by the motor. The 806fe has a 24V 9A...

Speedy I agree with Mussells 18mph is about correct although 17mph is th legal limit. Of course you can get the bike moving along more quickly in perfect conditions. All the best David

Spring Thanks Biker Bob, I hoe so too :) The first production run will hopefully be in December so we anticipate the first kits arriving in February, thats why I use the term "the Spring", nice and woolly!! :) All the best David

Let's be sensible I don't think it makes life that tricky at all Patrick, all we are doing is offering the same sort of power a very fit road cyclists already have, to all. It could of course be argued that Bradly Wiggins for example on an electric bike would have a massively fast bike, but...

Davall Hi Davall, I wonder if the owner of the engineering company shared my name as you say it is a great coincidence! I think what Eddie was saying is that we would have put the bike right for you under warranty. All the best David

Date Hi Alex It's not on the frame. Please send me the serial number and I can tell from our records. All the best David

Keeping up I totally agree with you, this is one of the ebike arguments regarding the safety aspect pf ebikes over pedal bikes. My point is that we have rules issued by the EU and if we don't stick to them we are in serious danger of loosing our fantastic position of being treated as a push...

Chain Ring Hi Alex and Eddie You are both correct the standard Wispers have the 48 tooth chain ring, however the 806 has 52, and the 905xc Tourer has 56! The tourer has 26" wheels Flecc and yes the larger chain wheel is great for a little extra speed going down hill and on the flat...

New Wisper Kit Hi Chris Thanks for your comments on the old 905e, it great to know you have had such good service. As Dick says our Wisper Kit will be available in the Spring of 2010, it uses the new Dapush motor featured on the Alpino bikes with all the clever Dapush electronics. It...

Bigger frame Hi Rustic The new Alpino frame is 490mm against the 905 which is 465mm. Best regards David

200w Thanks Alex, for putting the argument so succinctly. This is exactly my concern, if we don't work within the law we could quickly find ourselves in much the same position. Best regards David

???? Or even The Stigg! All the best David

Oh dear As the good Sargent Major Williams (shut up) said, Oh dear, how sad, never mind! :eek: They have to be on drugs :p :) :D You can buy a Wisper 905eco for the same price it has better equipment, it's 6kg lighter, has a larger battery and a 2 year guarantee! All the best David
