    Powabyke X24 2011

    Ian, When I was looking to buy my first electric bike 12 months ago I ordered the X6 but unfortunately whilst the bike was available, the battery was not. I knew about the limited mileage from the battery and intended buying a spare to go with it. Anyway, I cancelled my order and got a Wisper...

    Wisper battery died......

    About a week ago took my Wisper City 905 se for a ride having charged the battery. I checked the battery button and had 5 lights. When I first switched on the power the handlebar power indicator flashed on momentarily then went off. No power at all. I continued my ride as the terrain was...

    New Wisper just received.

    Took advice from Lemmy's post on 4/3/10 about insurance. Just added my Wisper to my house/contents insurance with Direct Line and they quoted me £17 annually.....this covers damage/theft anywhere it occurs.

    New Wisper just received.

    Thanks Guys.......it's funny how many of us have other interests as well as electric bikes. I play electric keyboard and have had many over the years. I too get that 'new' thrill when I have a new keyboard to play around with.

    Thanks to Andy of the South and Zomb13e for your comments. The YAKKAY is bound to elicit comments of "Where's your Horse?" The Cycle Chic doesn't look too bad. The TSG Recon Helmet I assumed was re-conditioned after being damaged but Evans Cycles doesn't say this!! I suppose I'll...
