3 years on and beyond the wisper.

Age 39, very unfit, very overweight, lacking some motivation, I bought a wisper 905se. This was about 3 years ago. I was huge, needed to lose some weight and increase my fitness. This bike was amazing, it let me feel some form of activity that was fun and addictive. I started losing some weight, my fitness came back.

I then took a huge step a year on, I sold my electric bike to give someone else the motivation and enjoyment. I then purchased a regular road bike with no electrics attached.

This took me to the next level and I am now over 3 stone lighter. I cycle 30 miles non assist per day with some huge hills. I now have a pulse rate of around 55 bpm rested. Pretty good for a 42 year old.

If it wasn't for the pedelec I'd never have lost weight, cycled miles and miles or been able to cycle without a battery... if only for the short term as a stepping stone I'd say buy one for anyone considering fitness gain and weight loss.

I miss my old wisper... it was sad to see her go... but she did me well!

Well done Yusstay, as strong a recommendation for using e-bikes to regain fitness as any I've seen.

 

[Wisper Bikes]

Brilliant news Yusstay,

I really believe that there is a place for electric bikes on the NHS! The Wispers are a particularly good bike to start off on, having very high torque and a throttle, they are not at all daunting to the less fit amongst us.

I too have been riding every day this year and the results are incredible, 6 stones off and so much fitter.

If you have any photos of you on your bike, I would love to do a case study!

All the best and congratulations!!

David

Sweet words spoken, but some of us on here have owned ebikes well over two years now, therefore having second thoughts , those spoken sweet words, have definitly put some of us to shame.
