Having tried both I would say the Oxygen is a bit more sporty and the Wisper is a bit more comfortable. The Wisper torque uses a torque sensor which gives a more natural feeling to the assistance, however it isn't as natural feeling as a lot of the crank drive driven bikes which tend to cost a...

Interesting to see all the pictures of the build, looks great :)

Do you have any preference for a torque (the more pressure you put on the peddles the more the motor gives) for a more natural feeling or just a cadace system where the motor cuts in more based on the assist level you have set (and how fast you peddle)? Test rode quite a few of both types...

Seemed to be the case when I was looking, so I have given up on the idea until I get a larger place ;)

I thought a lot about getting a portable air conditioning unit with the recent heat. I didn't seem to be able to find one with even semi decent reviews though. Is yours quiet enough to use while sleeping?

After a few test rides I now have a Wisper 905 Torque on order. The Oxygen S-Cross was also pretty nice, however I preferred the more progressive feel of the assistance on Wisper which made it a bit more predictable to ride. It was the first torque sensor bike I actually felt I got on with in...

Thanks for all the suggestions. While it isn't exactly local, I have managed to find somewhere with both the Wisper 905 and Oxygen bikes available to try, so I'll be off a bit later for a trip into the Kent countryside to get a couple of test rides. I'll let you all know how I get on!

Thanks for the suggestion, the Bosch system seems to require more effort than I'm able to put in at the moment though. Trying to derail the topic too much, but gave you stayed pretty stable over your time with CFS, or has the bike helped you increase your fitness over that time? I think...

Thanks - My main concern is losing the ability to peddle lightly and still get maximum assistance with the torque model. After doing a few quick searches I believe the 'F' mode on the torque model would do what I want though?

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I actually prefer the dutch style handlebars from the comfort point of view.

Hi David, Thanks for the reply. How would you say the torque model compares with the SE in effort required to get a good level of electrical assistance to kick in? I'm a bit wary of torque sensors based on my test rides, however I hear the motor is more powerful on the torque vs the SE.

Hi, After doing a bit of research on the forums and trying out a couple of bikes locally I’m wondering if I have missed any options as I haven’t quite found the perfect bike yet. The main reason I’m looking for an electric bike is my current lack of energy being caused by chronic fatigue...
