    Sorry Dave I was unclear, I meant the moans about quality seem always to come from people who do not own one. All the best David

    Which bike for off-road?

    Hill climbing It sounds brilliant. Re direct drive hub motors; When the motor is working at low speeds against a large load the torque is very much higher than when the motor is cruising along at 15mph effectively giving the extra help needed on hills. The motor in this situation is giving...

    Which bike for off-road?

    Hi Tim The lower assist settings simply restrict the power to the motor, they are there for extra range and do not lower the gear ratios. Sorry. All the best David

    Are some cycle routes 'Off Road'?

    Off road Absolutely Tim "Off road" should read "private land". We have dropped the "off road button" altogether now as it was specifically referred to in the DfT's report on electric bikes as being outlawed in the new legislation. All the best David

    Thanks Jason, much appreciated. It is strange how those with a Wisper love the quality of the components and build, where as those who don't own a Wisper find fault! All the best David

    Tim this would be perfect, where can we get such a machine? I would have thought it would be quite simple to make. All the best David

    This is the problem, where do we draw the line? As already mentioned Anthony in NZ achieved 72miles on his Wisper recently (6.9Wh/mile) and I am sure could do a lot better as this was on a normal ride not an eco run. I achieve about 30 on mine (16.6Wh/mile). Anthony is fit and lives in a...

    The problems is, people want (quite understandably) to know what to expect from their bikes. The tests I am running in China are all with the same rider to try and eliminate the worst effects of rider differential and are simply for comparisons between the Wisper range. If course if Nick was...

    No problems Alex! :D I totally disagree with you and am not at all surprised you don't know what is wrong with the bikes or what you consider the "cheap" components to be. However you are absolutely entitled to you opinion, and I respect you right to air them here. I seem to have made...

    A Quick story (True) Andy from On Bike related this to me last week, I thought as it is on topic you may like to share. Andy was at a show at the NEC last week, whilst there an old gentleman from Wales came onto his stand and asked about range. Andy, being very honest said from, 30 to 50...

    Wisper Kit Hi Mapman We have had to have a bit if a re design so are quite late. As soon as I have the IP sorted I will put an image on the site. I would estimate they will not be on the market for 12 weeks yet. Best regards David

    Surely Andrew we are missing the point, the people who ripped off the GTI Avalanche are thieves IMO. As I have said 100's of times, why should innovators simply sit quietly back and see all there efforts simply lifted by another business? All the best David

    A little harsh Alex! It so much depends which Wisper you priced, the 905eco could well be in the region of £400 as a non electric bike, where as you would need to pay more than that for just the 906xc carbon matrix frame! I am not sure you know why the Ezee was chosen at the Gadget show? I...
