I was contacted to day by a company who are developing a Lithium Sulphur battery! All the best David

I agree however if all bikes took part we would have a bench mark for consumers. Regards David

Yes the folding bikes are the only ones with Panasonic batteries. Best regards David

Or Wispering Grass :D David

Thanks Flecc! One will be fitted. Regards David

Human error I agree Tony, I just feel we should be giving electric bike riders so form of advice regarding range that can be accepted by all. If we were to use a local cycle club to do the testing for us asking for 10 or so equally fit people and then drew lots to determine which bike was...

OK it's a tough nut but one that needs cracking. Maybe the idea of all getting together at a track would be worthwhile? Or do we simply offer the advice that in good conditions a rider of 12 stones should expect a return of about 1 mile/Wh. Which takes us back to where we started...

Hi Tim If there was enough interest I am sure we could make a private membership to BEBA available to organise such events. All the best David

Drop shipping Hi Bigbee, I sympathise more than you can imagine having been in a very similar situation with 30,000sq ft in London, but that's another story. As a matter of interest we don't drop ship, we did look at doing this with a big electric bike supplier but decided against it. EBD...

Sorry John, I really must get the frames weighed individually without the rest of the bike hanging on it! The 30% weight saving was quoted by the frame factory, but as I say the carbon matrix frame is more about strength and image than weight. All the best David

I know there have been some unfortunate comments made on some bikes in A to B but I think they call it as it is and I have absolutely no worries about their honesty. I have tried several times to make a date to take one of our bikes over but for one reason an other we have not managed it...

Hi Harry They are a Wisper dealer, I assume they will be taking on the xc Tourer, Douglas deals with UK sales he will let me know the full list of dealers taking the bike on as soon as they land. I am pretty sure ETS will take them. All the best David

Range Thanks Bob for your PM, giving me the opportunity to reply to your post. The figures on our website regarding other manufacturers was compiled a good 18 months ago and there may have been changes. Figures published for our bikes were based on one of my guys in China, who weighs...

Cost cutting This is a very difficult one Bigbee. I don't like to see our bikes discounted and we do discourage it. However, 1. It is illegal for us to price fix. 2. Competition is a fact of life, whatever you buy be it a car a computer or a vacuum cleaner if you shop around you will...

Hi Alex, All About The Bike. All the best David

If only Flecc....... if only!!! :D The truth is, the bigger players are coming onto the market now as we knew they would. Raleigh, Giant and many more will be pushing hard to gain market share this year. IMO the only way smaller independents like Wisper will survive is to make better...

Thanks Harry, yes we have been having an incredible number of hits recently we will have to expand the bandwidth. Best regards David

Not simply the frame! Hi Aldby thanks for your comments, indeed it is a pretty bike! The Carbon Matrix frame is more about frame rigidity, strength and of course looks than the .5 kilos we save on a 24kg bike. Re the difference in price, although the bike is more expensive because of this...

806 Thanks Richard for the review, I am delighted you and your wife enjoyed the 806. The very large chain drive on the bike makes it feel like a bigger model. And its weight means it can be ridden easily without power, indeed my daughter Amy uses one at Leeds University and usually rides it...
