Just thought I'd let anyone who might be wondering whether to switch to balloon tyres how pleased I am with the Fat Franks on my Wisper 705. Previously it was a real effort to cycle without the motor, not very enjoyable. With the Fat Franks I find that I'm happily cycling under my own steam...

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I used my Wisper for the 1st time in several months today - it was great to get back out on the road- and my only problem was that although my speedometer was showing the time of day it wasn't showing the speed. I assume that there are sensors of some sort on...

Hello I wonder if someone could help. I emailed support on 28 August with a note of the frame number on my Wisper 705 se to try to find out whether the new , larger capacity battery will fit. My old battery was allowed to discharge and left standing for so long that I think its dead but has...

Hello, I haven't been on for a while and I haven't been out on my Wisper yet this year as I haven't got round to replacing my drained battery. However I have decided that I need to get fit and am now desparate to get back out on the road.I love my Wisper but feel the need to get a bike which...

Hello, haven't been on for a few months but reckon I should now be able to get on to my Wisper after double hip op. Problem is I stupidly didn't keep the battery charged up and its now dead -only myself to blame. Am also swithering over the Tonaro Esprit so am reluctant to fork out full price...

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone but the Chain Reaction website is selling this step-through at 599.00 which they say is a 70% reduction. If that 's right then even to my un- mathematical brain it sounds like a great buy, unless I'm missing something ?

In various threads I've seen comments along the lines of this bike or that bike being more like a moped than an ebike. This was said most recently about one of the Tonaros and as I'm thinking about the new Esprit when it arrives (soon hopefully!!) its made me wonder what it actually means ?

Just to let anyone who's interested know that Phil at Power Pedals has been told that his Tonaro Esprit order will be shipped on 10th August and that he hopes to take delivery the 1st or 2nd week in September. I"d be really interested in feedback from anyone who has a test ride before I do:o

My drive home from work takes me over several miles of rural single track road with passing places. Today I got stuck behind a lycra clad "pro" who ignored several passing places including a couple large laybys (unfortunately on his side of the road)and kept me behind him for a couple of miles ...

Would anyone know if it would be possible to fit Big Apple 2.35 tyres on an Ebco Urban Commuter. The UC has 28 inch wheels and I know that the Big Apple tyres are available in 28 inches but I' m not sure if there's anything else that has to be taken into account . I know i'd probably have to...

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem as me. When I'm scrolling through a thread it can take ages if there are photos embedded within the page -could we maybe be encouraged to post a link to photos instead so that anyone reading a thread can decide whether or not to look at the photos and...

I went to try a Tonaro Compy today and was asked if I wanted a go on one I hadn't heard of, an Ebco Urban Commuter CL (?)-60, while they got the Compy ready. I thought I might as well and am so glad that I did. With the high, swept back handlebars it was like sitting in an armchair and it was...

I've been trying for ages to test ride a panasonic but no Kalkhoff dealers yet in Scotland unfortunately. However my (fairly) local Raleigh dealer is able to get a Dover 3-speed stepthrough for me to have a go on this week . I see now that there's also an 8-speed, I wonder if anyone can give me...

I wonder if David might be able to let us know when details of the new range are likely to be available? The facelift mentioned in the Wisper blog sounds intriguing:)

I have just come back from a 10 mile ride in the rain without my rearview mirror (I've just had a new throttle fitted and forgot to put the mirror back on ) and it has made me realise just how much the mirror adds to my enjoyment and peace of mind. Its the first time I've ridden without one and...

Hello, I wonder if anyone can give me any comments on the Trek T500 . Ideally I would like my next bike to be quieter than my Wisper 705 (which is a great bike) and also possibly look more like a "normal" bike and from what I've read I understand that Trek bikes score on both counts . Any...

Having tried out the Wisper Alpino (nice bike, very pretty!) I'm now trying to find out if there's a supplier in Scotland who would be able to provide a test ride on a step-through Kalkhoff Agattu. If any one can help it would be appreciated, thanks:)

Hello, I wonder if anyone knows of a supplier in Scotland who would be able to give a test ride on a step-through Alpino?:)

Hello again, I seem to be needing a lot of help recently! Last month replaced my charger for my Wisper battery as the old one seemed to be completely dead. Because of a puncture and then the snow I 've hardly been out since so have only had to use the new charger once . I didn't notice any...

I 1st mentioned my throttle problem in another thread yesterday about replacing rear tyre but thought it might be better to add this post under a more relevant title.Yesterday when I got my bike back from local cycle shop after getting rear tyre , pedelec was working fine but my throttle was...
