Gaurdian I just love this business! We did not know about this so thanks! Regards David :)

Thanks Flecc Thanks Flecc, may I pinch that explanation, so succinct. You truly are the man and font of all knowledge! :) All the best David

Thanks Frank I was misunderstanding you I thought you were saying Phosphate batteries were safe to dispose of any where you wanted. If a Phosphate battery is still at 100% capacity after 2000 charges why do you say it only has a life of 2000 charges? If that is the life of the battery...

Briefing for ETRA meeting Briefing for the meeting on European electric bike regulations Brussels – 29 September 2009 1. Current situation All EU member states had to implement Directive 2002/24/EC concerning the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles. Pedal assisted...

Hi Eddie That would be OK, but you will need to change the controller too. All the best David

Powerful ebikes At the recent Eurobike we showed a new bike aimed at the US market, the 905se 500S. This 500W Wisper was one of the raves at the show and was certainly the most sort after by people wanting test rides. It was limited to 25kph however the ride was fantastic it dragged my...

LiIFeP04 Hi Frank Just to put your mind at rest. 1. Phosphate batteries should last 2000 charges and Li Po should last 1000 We are currently on 638 complete charges and discharges of our 14A Li Po battery and have not yet lost 20% of it's original capacity. This trial has been going...

Seeing Lights Hi Alex Basically (and I mean basically!) the lights on the handle bars show the voltage in the battery, when you use power from the battery i.e. when using assist the Voltage will drop and one or two of lights will extinguish, if you use full throttle the Voltage will drop...

Retrofit Hi Straylight, I am sorry but I do not believe will be able to be retrofitted, however I will email our controller manufacturer now to see if it is possible. Best regards David

Green button Hi Dan welcome to the Forum and thanks for buying a Wisper! You will need to ask your dealer for the green button, we don't fit them as they are only for bikes that will not be used on the public road. However they are very easy to fit, if you twist the dealers arm they...

Concerned Citizan Any help would be great Zombie and emailing MEPs would be useful. We (BEBA) have a meeting in the House of Lords just before the cycle show, when Lord Laird, who is hopefully going top be our voice in the the Lords, is going to listen to our concerns. I will report...

The LED lights are not a great indicate of battery levels but do give you a fair idea. The LCD indication on top of the newer batteries is more reliable. We are currently working on a computer to indicate both battery levels, and the power being used as separate items. This feature is...

Battery Size I am so tempted to say it's not the size that matters it's the way you use it, but I wont! :p However of course of you want a light weight bike with limited range then a large battery is probably not what you would be after. The larger the battery though the longer it will...

Crazy!! Hi Zombie, tell me about it!! :mad: This is one of the many many advantages we have of being a part of the European community! :D (and I was a staunch EEC supporter!) Yes 6kph or about 4mph (walking pace) will be the limit according to the new EN rules and regs. This is mainly...

Green button Hi Guys Yes the new bikes (2009) with the front connection box accept the green button simply by opening the FCB, taking out the white loop and plugging in the green button. The purple wire on the controller if connected will disable the throttle only feature and you will...

Chain Hi Eddie The chain, chain wheel and dérailleur are exactly the same on both bikes so I would suggest there is an alignment ajustment problem. If you contact Norman at our service department or Aiden at ebikes direct they will be able to talk you through the adjustment or pop it into...

Oldest Wisper Yes it would be good to hear from anyone with a 2004 Wisper in fact let's have a competition. :) To whoever on the Forum has the oldest Wisper I will send a new set of Panniers. Let's put a time limit on it of 1st November 2009. All the best David I do have a...

Wintering your battery Ideally Lithium batteries should be stored with 40/50 charge in them. We recommend simply making a note in your diary and charging the battery for 90 minutes every 8 weeks. Simple but it does help with the longevity of the cells. All the best David

Batteries Hi Guys Just to say we have thousands of bikes on the road now and many are as much as five years old. We sell hardly any replacement batteries. Draw your own conclusions! :) We now use massively superior batteries than we did on the early bikes,so based on experience I would...

Dealerships Thanks for your support Flecc. It is very hard to find dealers so to actually get rid of one was a tough decision, however we have had so many problems with these guys as to be almost unbelievable. They also started to sell the clone Wisper calling it the "Life Cycle" and have...
