    Wisper Wisper 905 battery replacement(behind seat post model)

    I have an old(2008ish) 905SE which has given me great service over the years. It has been stood for a while and I'm passing it onto a friend as a intro to ebikes but the range is now quite poor(understandably). What are my options for replacement. I had a quick look on the Wisper site but...

    E-bikes are advancing fast - get the newest model of the best bike you can afford

    I think the biggest advancement has been the mainstream companies including ebikes in their range. Where once we where limited to fitting kits or buying online from smaller companies now you can find ebikes in most bike shops. I always received great service from the smaller companies but it is...

    Merida/Shimano Customer Service Issues

    To be fair to my dealer he offered me a charger off a "shop" bike but I had chargers from my other bikes and bless him he's only a small shop if I had taken his charger that means he couldnt sell the bike until all this is sorted. It just seems an odd way of doing business. If a wiper motor...

    Merida/Shimano Customer Service Issues

    I have 3 Merida Ebikes all with Shimano motors and batteries. They are absolutely fantastic, well built, great performance and have really benefited my cycling. I had cause recently to test the warranty on what I thought was a fairly simple matter and came away disappointed. One of the...

    Here's another one.......

    Looks interesting. I have bikes with both the e6000 and e8000 and both have so far proved very good

    Will type approved speed pedelecs wake the police up

    I'd replace "most" with "some" The vast majority of Ebike users keep it standard and don't join ebike forums. The Police seem pretty stretched nowadays and I suspect Ebikes are fairly low down their list of priorities. I think you'd have to be involved in an RTA or be flying round on the...

    Help! Is there a market for the Wisper Wayfarer?

    Just a wee comment. If you're aiming for the larger rider would the e8000 motor be a better option as I believe it has more torque lower down ie should be quicker off the mark for the larger ebiker

    Stratospheric prices

    I don't think ebikes are any more expensive than regular bikes. £5k gets you a fairly decent TT bike or full suspension mtb but far from top of the range. Go to any cycle/triathlon club and you'll find plenty of people who have spent lots more. There is a market out there for sure

    New Merida with a few mods

    Decided I need a road bike to go with my EMTB. I've had good service from Merida and from Kirkcowan Cycles where I've bought most of my bikes over the last 10 years so they always get first option on anything I need cycle related. I wanted a flat barred racer style bike and Shimano e8010 battery...

    The Last Wisper Sneak Preview of the year. 12kg Road Bike

    I don't think the price is an issue the target market are used to spending this sort of money on a bike. The issue is not the bike but the UK speed restriction. I train a group of "average" triathletes who on group rides are averaging over 20 mph. In this company a 12kg road bike is really heavy...

    I use one of each which is odd I know but I keep the prosthetic leg clipped in for security and my meat leg on flats so I can get a wee dab if I need it
