Hi,
I have been looking at wisper bikes recently and have had to rule out 905/705 because of the size. I am now looking at the folders but cannot find a demo to try.
I live in Glasgow and traveled to Edinburgh but was not able to try any wisper bike there, it was broken or something.
I went to Rutherglen in Glasgow but had to rule out the 905 but was offered a trial on a 705 when they got one in stock, but only inside the shop. Called the shop twice and told "he is on the other line" , I'm still waiting, I think he is at the world cup.
I have since gone to Dundee ( a reasonable distance from Glasgow), I tried the 705 and found bike hard to handle due to it being too big for me and the throttle coming on when I touched it by accident. I had been told previously that a 836 had just been sold but when they got another I could try it. However when I went there yesterday I asked if it was possible for them to get hold of a demo 805 but was told no. I was told stock would be available 14 July and price matched what I had seen on web. I said it was a lot of money to spend without having a go. Can you help? Eve

this habit of shops selling demo models is madness and a bit desperate as they are shooting themselves in the foot.....Very frustrating for potential buyers.

a demo in the shop? have they a rolling road that tilts? astonishing........

:D.
I knew one shop that is so large the pathway around the stock formed a cycling track that customers can use to cycle around the whole shop area. I once tried a bike for size that way in there!

Hi Eve

Sorry about the delay, the 836 now renamed the 805 was so popular our last container sold out virtually on the day the bikes arrived in UK.

We have a new container arriving on Thursday so we will be getting our back log of orders cleared into the shops by Wednesday 7th July. Douglas has spoken to Jon and confirmed the bike will be there for you to test.

I hope you have a good ride!

Best regards

David

In Canada our dealer has problems finding anywhere flat to trial the bikes :)

Here is their latest clip of the 350W 905se Sport hill climbing for over a kilometre vertically over a 20km ride.

I know I am leaving my self open to being accused of unBEARable self promotion, but I will take the risk! :D

All the best
