Possibly interested. Not sure how this would compare to Woosh's new folding Rambletta

Don't forget the battery is nearly 2 years old even though Wisper are great bikes.

Hmm. What difference would that make? They've only done 180 miles on it too. It'd take me six days to do 180 miles..

It's not an obscure bike brand to those in the know and Wisper batteries use good branded cells, at 18 month I doubt there is very much wrong with it.
Batteries over time age with the years but there should be little issue to worry about, looked after well some can get well over 5 years usage out of one.

Using Flecc's used bike valuation including the battery age the asking price is a fair one and bang on Flecc's system which is the best I have seen.

Bike price 1700 minus new battery cost = approx. 1200.
Minus bike age 18mnths so 30% depreciation = 840.
As battery is under 2 years old an approximate value can be got at.
Battery cost new 500 divide by 24 = 20.833 x 18 = 375 so residual battery price = 125.
840 + 125 = 965.
I'm assuming the battery is the 575wh model.

With used batteries it is a bit of a punt, but as the age is young it should be good for many years. Using Flecc's valuation guide a two year old battery is valued at £0 as it could fail with in 6 months or it could fail in 6 years.

Using Flecc's used bike ratio including the battery age the asking price is a good one.

Thanks. I'm considering this and also this:

Help! - Which Dahon folding bike + Woosh kit?

Hi, I've been told that I should either buy a Dahon bike with 20" wheels, or wait until February, when Woosh have a new bike, however that hasn't been tested for my requirements yet Let's say that I go with a Dahon, I'm not sure what I should get? My requirements : Weight :86Kg Height : 1.69m...

www.pedelecs.co.uk

The bike in this listing also comes with a torque drive, and gets up to more than 50 miles easily, according to the owner (not that I need that per se, but in cold weather that's useful given reduced efficiency. My commute is 15 miles each way) The Woosh bike however hides the battery, and costs £850., albeit not available yet

Don't forget the torque range from Wisper has a little trick up it's sleeve, it utilises torque sensor PAS system with the hub drive but if need be you can select the ' F ' setting for PAS cadence.
Also Wisper hold spares in stock for all their bikes aged up to at least 10 years old.
Of any folding bike bar a Brommie or Gocycle this would be a great used buy (if you like folding ones).

Not being biased at all as I have no connection with Wisper, the 806T has been designed as a folding ebike with the wiring run etc taken in to account. The Dahon with a kit won't be as nice a finish as the Wisper, though will be a different story if Woosh fit the kit as they will adjust the wire runs to be shorter and neater.

Hi,

I'm sorry but as a "casual" I'm not sure quite what that means?

Also like this? https://www.cyclerepublic.com/gocycle-gs-folding-electric-bike-with-base-pack.html

Not sure how the above Wisper bike would compare to the new Woosh bike too? Not sure if I'd "need" a Gocycle bike either?
I have seen this:

GOCYCLE GS WHITE/BLACK (FRONT BRAKE RIGHT) INTEGRATED LIGHT KIT MUDGUARDS BOXED | eBay

The Pitstopwheel - Our patented quick-detach Pitstopwheels make folding down the Gocycle GS easy. The side mounted design not only looks great but makes it quick and easy to remove the wheels and make fixing a flat tire a no sweat deal.

www.ebay.co.uk

EDIT: The Gocycle folds awfully..

Ah Woosh have their own new folding Rambletta bike, set for sale around February. Really it's me thinking should I get the new folding Woosh bike , available in February at £850 or.. this bike here. Not sure if the Woosh bike has a torque sensor?

Amoto65 · Dec 24, 2019

The bike in question has a 375wh battery, Personally I think Wisper bikes are great having had one for over 2 years, I test rode one of these folders a couple of years ago and they are excellent.

The Gocycle GX is the folding bike not the GS in the video.

Could I ask how that's better when compared to the Wisper 806? I've also seen the GX for about 2.8K,and none that are used?

It does cost almost three times as much too

Gocycle is a niche premium UK designed and built bike, the price is reflected by the carbon fibre used in it's build. It may or may not be better, the simplicity of the look/design will appeal to those who can afford it or want something that is different.

Ahhh. Whilst I can afford it, I'm a bit of a cheap bastard sometimes. I guess the price difference is quite stark. I'll hopefully visit the seller of the ebike in this listing, and then I may well have got one!

I have now acquired this:

Tezzer provided me with his number, and email address. He also gave me his co-ordinates, and a map showing where he is, given that the postcode won't get you where you need to (It covers a large area) When I arrived, he even lent me a Hi Viz vest, and offered to make tea/coffee too.

We had a little bit of a chat, and we then went on a ride with the bike. He threw in his mirrors, gave me some general advice, emailed later ensuring I got home safe. Overall, a great guy! Would recommend
