Hello everyone,
Firstly what a great forum this. I have spent a good few hours trawling through the many threads.
I would class myself as a ‘newbie’ in respect of pedelec/e-bikes. I am close to making my first purchase but thought it would be useful to draw upon everyone’s experiences first.
The makes / models I am considering are:
1). Wisper 905e (£849)
2). Ezee Forza (£1395)
3). Ezee Forte (£1345)
I have studied the various specs of each model and to me (someone with limited engineering knowledge) they seem quite similar. From reading previous threads I understand that actually the parts are reasonably different between Wisper and Ezee bikes in terms of quality, thus this is reflected in the prices.
What perplexes me is that when you compare the bikes from a ‘usage’ perspective they appear to be similar, and in some cases the Wisper outperforms the Ezee bikes in some respects….. by this I mean they are lighter, have slightly better range and battery life is very good (I couldn’t actually find battery life stats on 50cycles website).
My instincts tell me from a performance point of view any of the models would suffice, but from an expense viewpoint the 905e makes more sense… I also gather that both companies are equally pleasant to deal with (in terms of customer service/servicing/fixing problems) so that isn't an issue to me.
Can anyone help me make my mind up??
Many thanks in advance
