Wednesday morning at 8.45 am a van arrived. The very nice man opened the back to reveal.a very, very large box. Once it was leaniing up against my garage door, I realised what it was. It was my new 806 torque.
The box was undamaged and once opened revealed a very well packed bike. Even the pedals were attached. First impressions were that the bike was larger than I imagined it would be. My non electric folder is only a 14 inch frame and the 806 has a 20 Inch frame. The handle bars were also set quite high, giving an overall feeling that the bike was enormous.
Once the handle bars were lowered however, it looked fine, and not too big. The bike is clearly well made and is strong and sturdy and robust. It is a very nice classy looking bike indeed.
However there were a couple of problems. First, the back wheel was slightly too far forward and the chain was a bit slack. This took just a couple of minutes to adjust.
The second problem was more serious. The top half of the control box holding the electronics which is the part that the battery slides Into was broken. There are two screws that screw up from the bottom half of the control box and holds both halves together. Both of the screws were broken, and the upper half of the box was hanging loose. All of the electronics were visible. Maybe it was broken during transit, but I can't see that happening to be honest.
However, I sent an email to wisper support and within 10 minutes recieved an email telling me that a new top half was being sent and it should reach me this afternoon. So, fast response from wisper. Many thanks.
The battery. Also needed to be charged as it was showing just one bar. However, it only took a couple of hours at most to re charge.
Overall I am happy with my new bike. It is well made, looks good. The handle bars have a good feel to them. I liike the rubberized handles. The locking mechanism for the folding parts are also strong and look very durable.
I havnt been able to give the bike test ride yet, but once I am able to, I will do a follow on review.
