Yep thanks flecc. No doubt it will all become much clearer to me when i know a bit more about it.

Main thing is that i know there isn't really a big difference between the Wisper and eZee batteries.

Once i get a bike i will be able to sound knowledgable about the battery technology

Yes, the only difference is the capacity, the Wisper one 40% larger capacity, so roughly 40% more range.

The 905se I have and bought back last summer does have short sports mudguards, also, it's a good idea to charge the battery after every trip, this keeps the lithium batts in the best condition, don't know exactly why though.

Well I have gone and done it …ended up buying a Jan / Feb 2009 model Wisper 905se Sport from e-bikes direct.

I found that prices for the 905se Sport seemed to range from £1175 to £1393 and of the few models that were available at the moment, one or two were earlier bikes.

The differences on the latest model are, all of which I wanted on my bike are:
Hi/Low switch on the handle bars added
Updated cable connector in front of the handle bars
New Headset \Handle bar clamp and Riser handle bars

I ended up getting the bike from e-Bikes Direct who were very helpful and their price of £1175 was the best I found.

It would have been nice to hang back for one of the new 905se City S bikes in April / March but I really wanted to get mobile now so I have bought the Sport and a set of City mud guards and a City carrier rack and I will have something that will be pretty close to the April 2009 model City S bar the new battery mods.

Bike should be here mid week so I am looking forward to it.

Will keep you posted with how I get on.

Cheers and thanks for the information
