    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    Thanks Velocitygirl and welcome to the Forum. That's exactly our target market. We have designed the bike to be light weight and easy to fold with a magnetic catch to keep the bike in the folded position. We have not heard any decent reports on the Brompton and believe that there is a market...

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

    We found the same Nev, the Fazua motor is perfect for a fit rider who may need help keeping up with the group on a Saturday fun run. Our Carbon bike was working out at about £9,000 I am not sure there is a big enough market for such machines! It was good project it taught us a lot and bought...

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

    Hi Nev, we’ve had exactly the same issue. Apparently it’s how the system works. We have made the decision not to continue with the project this year and may pick it up again for 2020. All the best, David

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Hi Kiwi, We find that the rubber formula varies with the tyre model, i.e. Magic Mary tyres are "stickier" and more expensive than Nobby Nicks. Maybe you could give me a little advise? We are just putting the finishing touches to our Wayfarer range (Summer 2019). We have decided to run 27.5"...

    The net effect is simply to move the bike builders out of China to other countries in Asia. The first Taiwan built Wisper bikes will be arriving in a few weeks. The cost is a little higher but there are several advantages, one of them being we can now fit Schwalbe tyres for a few pence more than...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Hi Mike, we are not sure either, however the damage done to many hard working ebike businesses in Europe is accurately calculable and huge. Those within the group will be pushing for compensation. We think and hope that is change of position is the EBMA taking a more sensible approach, not...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Thanks chaps! Nowhere near a complete victory but a small battle won. It basically means that imports before 20th of July should not now attract ADT. The EU still needs to ratify.

    Step-thru, good torque hub motor, £1200 limit option

    Hi Paul, We have been using hydraulics on our bikes for a few years now, they are so much more reliable than the old cable brakes and never need adjusting. They are also so much more effective. Worth a try. All the best, David
