Birkenhead Cycles are dealers of Wisper Bikes covering Liverpool & the Wirral. We recently purchased two 806 step through folding bikes from them and after a day or so we noticed a small problem with one of them. This turned out not to be their fault but nevertheless the way they resolved the situation was excellent and highlights the advantages of buying more expensive items through specialist retailers rather than the box shifters we all use so much these days for everyday stuff.
I have since discovered that Birkenhead Cycles have a really good reputation and I can only say that our experience seems to bear this out.
I suppose I should point out that I was not asked to give feedback anywhere and was prompted to write this post entirely out of a desire to help other potential bike buyers/owners locally.

FWIW, Although it is very early days I am very impressed with the little 806 folding bike. Having spent many years riding road bikes and more latterly an electric hybrid urban type thing I was a bit nervous I wouldn't feel right on 20" wheels but that has not been the case. The bike is very well engineered (imo) and every aspect seems well thought out. It is a relaxed laid back style of getting around and in a way analogous to the feeling I got a couple of years ago when we moved from a 2 litre petrol Audi Quattro A3 to a fully electric Hyundai Ioniq
