They have been on there for ages...lead acid battery's will probably weigh a ton. there was a bike at ETS on Saturday with lead acid battery and I could not lift it of the ground lol

 

[dazzie]

Hehe! Thing is though it doesn't look like a lead acid battery hey. The bike looks remarkably similar to the wisper imho...?

 

[Blew it]

Don't go there!

Daz,

It's a clone, and a very poor quality one at that!!

eBay's interesting this week though - two, (two!) Kalkhoff Agattu's going cheap.
- And an apparently little used (700c) front wheel Heinzmann motor kit - aren't those Heinzmann kits £1,000 when new?

I agree, a rubbish clone!
Unfortunately for a discerning buyer they may think they are getting a bargain! Sucks
They may not know a L A Battery from their L I and buy a pig in a poke!
They didn't do a good job on cloning the Wisper frame though either eh?
MYCOOLIMPORTS What Rubbish! So Uncool, L A batteries are so yesterday!
Sorry to anyone who's got the L acid battery but if you are buying a new one you wouldn't really go for another one would you?
Regards

Well...they have just changed that in last 2 days! as they used to advertise that lead acid where far superior then lithium! You probably still get a lead acid one though lol

haha

they clearly read this forum. I looked at the page lastnight and it said "lead". Now it says LITHIUM in bright red.

Still, it looks to be a decent bike for the price.

I can't help but wonder how heavy it is. I'll look on the page later to see if the weight shows up in bright red.

 

[dazzie]

Hehe! I think he changed it because I emailed him about it. He said he checked and it is actually a lithium battery - as I guessed from the shape of it. How worrying is it that the guy doesn't even know the spec? Tsk!

I just realised how close Atmosphere Bikes are to my house so I'll talk a walk over there tomorrow and try the bikes out. Exciting!

says it retails at £999...i wonder where..which just goes to show if he sells at this price and makes a profit as he will,just how big a profit selling at £999 would be....frightening if true..

Well spotted Wibble, I thought I was going mad!
Mind you that might still be the case,
Is the person selling the bike either a member or peering in on our posts? He soon changed it!
I concede looks okay for the price but wouldn't want one.
