    Smoked controller - repairable?

    I've taken up David on his offer to return it to Wisper for repair and testing. If that works I'll be happy. Only EBike Solution have come back to me, suggesting a Bafang controller which they advised may not work with the torque sensor, which would not be any use to me if it didn't.

    Smoked controller - repairable?

    I've asked The Layer Laboratory (Torque Tech) and Ebike Solution to suggest a controller. David has also responded and offered help repairing (if possible) mine and cautioned that an aftermarket one wouldn't be optimized to the bike etc. in the way his is. As there are probably 28 wires from...

    Smoked controller - repairable?

    Saw your reply to my post on another thread. My response is below; I'm happy to improve with a different controller and LCD. Can you point me in the direction of where to buy and what to go for please? Am I going to have to replace the connectors too? My main priority, as you say above, is to...

    Wisper 705 T cutting out

    Was a new controller all you needed? I'm in a similar situation - seven year old 705T, cutting in and out. Have had the battery completely re-celled and the problem persists - if anything worse. I've taken the controller apart and found a clearly overheated resistor (there's heat marks inside...

    Smoked controller - repairable?

    Thank you. How do I make this check and what reading am I looking for? I understand the connection part (I'll work out which connector goes to the panel using this controller) and I have a multimeter. If I have to probe the connectors which ones and which probe wire? If I need to test the...

    Smoked controller - repairable?

    No, can't see anything obvious that would have touched it other than the wire coming out of the top of the resistor.

    Smoked controller - repairable?

    History - Wisper 705 Torque with 575 battery. It's approaching 7 years old and recently started losing assistance after about 20 miles. Stopping would see assistance returning sometimes, or it could might come and go when pedalling. My suspicion was the battery was failing because of its age and...

    Can anyone suggest a decent battery re-builder in the UK please?

    https://www.allcharged.co.uk/shop I've just had my battery (Wisper 575) re-celled by the above. Got an extra 50 kWh as part of the job for £390. Happy with the cost and service (postage label for UPS included in the price), although not had a chance to use it yet.

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    It's the amount and range of stuff you need to have to deal with some simple problems. I would be lugging them about if it wasn't electric power, I'd never get up a hill!

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    That's a good deal for a taxi ride home. You could even stage a puncture and get a lift home if you didn't want to ride anymore!

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    This is what I have. The saddle is parallel with the steerer normally. It's a bit of a handful to grip and turn over.

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    I'm asking this as I was in Amsterdam recently and saw an upturned ebike on the pavement receiving attention from what I assume could be the cycling equivalent of the AA/RAC. The bike was one with the big sand tyres. It was placed on a large mat with the owner watching on while a uniformed...

    Help - kit recommendations for Raleigh Twenty

    If you really want a bike of this type and era the Dawes Kingpin would be better because alloy rimmed wheels are available I think. Doing anything to a Raleigh is difficult because it is either Raleigh specific, imperial measurements, or unobtainable usually.

    Help - kit recommendations for Raleigh Twenty

    I would think about uprating the brakes first. I have one of these (human powered only) and the old style side pulls don't inspire confidence at the best of times.
