Wisper 905se Sport is for Steve

well i am down to two bikes i would like to buy now



Wisper 905se Sport vs Kalkhoff Tasman


Ok the Wisper looks wicked and the spec looks great too
the frame would work for me i am sure but need to try it out 1st


Kalkhoff Tasman is not as pretty IMO but is very good spec
the frame i know i would get on with fine



has anybody used a Kalkhoff Tasman because i would like to hear more

i have spoken to 50 cycles today and i am going to ring wisper as well

May I be the first of many to say,both bikes are good but its down to your personal preference.Try both and you probably are doing that any way.

Hi Stephen, think I spoke to you earlier! There are also Kalkhoffs to try in Rainham, Canterbury and Deal to help you decide.
All the best,

Superb bikes. That's going to be a tough decision - though a fun one. Give them both a good try out. Given what you've said already I think I'd probably put a bet on this one. Either way I can't see how you can go wrong as long as you're comfortable with the bike and thoroughly enjoy riding it. Good luck :)

PS: Bit tame though compared to that v8 3500litre trike

Thanks Bigbee

your advice has served me well today

i have a tasman bike coming from 50 cycles to try out with the purchase offer price , simply if i like i keep if not send back for a refund via postage costs

(i think is more then fair!)

i have to say the 50 cycles team was very helpful

plus i be trying the wisper bike on Friday because David @ Wisper pointed me in the right direction yesterday to look at a model in my area


so i got my wish to try both bikes



i know my needs are a little diffrent then most,


let the best bike win:D

well today i tride out a wisper bike over in Margate

i was so happy the frame was easy for my false leg to get over:)

David @ Wisper did say i should be ok back on the phone a few days back

anyway i went round the block with the bike and i was very Very impressed
i loved it! the feel is lovely

the bike i tried was Wisper Eco 8amp


spoke to 50 cycles about the Tasman but sadly the bike which was held for me meight/would be too big for me for me to try
because when i tried the wisper i was sitting like someone would if they was 5ft 1 but i am 5 11






So today i have gone for Wisper Sport Se 14amp model from Margate :)


in all fairness both companys have been great but i am sure i am going to have so much fun on the Wisper bike


looking forward to getting the bike in the nr future:)

Thanks Steve

Thanks Steve for choosing a Wisper I really hope you get lots of enjoyment from it.

The Kalkhoff is also a good bike and between the two you probably had the best of all worlds to try out. People do generally feel the Wisper rides more like a bicycle and that often sways them.

Thanks again and welcome to the world of Wisper and electric biking!

Incidentally the 705se 14A is far superior to the Wisper 705eco 8A so I am certain you will be delighted with your choice!

Please keep in touch.

All the best David

Good stuff Steve. I had a similar dilemma recently and like your-good-self opted for a Wisper 905se Sports, which I will hopefully pick up tomorrow

Happy riding

Jason
