How do I de-restrict my Wisper 705se?

[TylerD]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I did a quick search and couldn't see anything. I got my Wisper 705se 2nd hand a few weeks ago, its about 14 months old and I wonder if it can be de-restricted and if so what difference this would make to the top speed, also the range? Any advice would be appreciated

Can't solve the problem itself, but others here will be able to offer you electrical solutions.

Top speed, increase by 3 or so mph on medium or high power WITH pedal input, so where electric assistance cuts at about 15 mph, it'll carry on assisting to 18 mph. Hardly record-breaking stuff. Higher speeds than that, it's down to how hard and fast you turn those pedals.

I don't THINK it affects range very much, as it's effectively only a speed restrictor, but again, electrical experts will give you more definitive answers.

As for getting it done if you don't do it yourself, depends where you are. If you live anywhere near the main Wisper dealers, give them a ring as I'm sure they could sort it for not much money.

Thanks,that's very helpful.I'd still like to do it if possible - I don't go at great speeds so even a few extra mph would seem like a lot! I'm in Scotland so I don't think there's a Wisper dealer anywhere near.I would need to do it myself so it would have to be very straightforward

Tyler, email Norman at Wisper service and ask him, some of their models do have a simple wiring shift derestrict:
