Wisper or Gepida

[cogs]

You have no rival Tony..............except there is more sex in the bible

Congratulations, where would Pedelec be without you

Not wishing to offend, but there is also far more ****** in the bible than i have ever read in flecc's offerings!

Still, if it keeps the botherers happy..

Well done on the 14000 flecc. Your practical and knowledgable advice on ebikes has been invaluable as far as I'm concerned.

 

[eddieo]

Amen!

I would go to prestigne if possible and try all of the options available,i see ezee, emotion and kalkhoff as other possibly better options,when derestricted the ezee motor is very powerfull.

Well thats the deal done I'm now a Wisper owner

Purchased a 14A 2010 Wisper City S from FreeFlow Bikes Ltd near Glasgow

I decided on the City S over the Sport as the mudguards and rack will come in useful.

Collecting next Wednesday as I've a busy week ahead(getting married on Tuesday )

Thanks for all your input

Congratulations on both counts!

Yeah! great stuff I got my new city last week have only been able to have a few short rides around the block due to my back.... but they are a great bike. Did you buy on spec or have you tried one? either way guaranteed enjoyment! lol

Sleet and rain here all day today so I declined a test ride but tried it for size and crawled all over the bike taking in all the details

 

[eddieo]

Yes, I got drenched this afternoon in my brief sojourn

If I heard him correctly Neil at FreeFlow Bikes said the only difference he could see between the 2009 and 2010 City S/Sport models was the colour of the small sticker on the suspension.

Brilliant news, thanks for the business!

I do hope you enjoy the bike, you will find the powerful battery and hi torque motor climbs hills just as well as any crank drive model and of course will help you to continue to climb those hills for longer than bikes with smaller batteries.

There is no difference between the late 09 and early 10 models of the 905eco, Sport and City S bar the livery.

All the best

I use spd pedals which enables me to pedal more evenly as I lift a little on the upward stroke but I can't get away from the fact that more power comes from the down stroke on my good leg. I am in the habit of using a quicker cadence as thats good practice for "normal" cyclists and also makes me smoother.

I wonder if,over time, my uneven pedaling will put stress on the crank. I'm assuming replacing a normal crank would be easier than replacing the crank in a Yamaha/Panasonic bike

Just for info the stress on a crank is uneven for bipeds also due to the chain being on one side, probably not worth worrying about for you. I usually find the drive side bearing wears much quicker, the new Wispers have sealed bearings so should last a long time.

ORLY?

This was mentioned a while ago and I was very interested as mine is constantly getting gummed up with sand (though having jammed some o-rings on the spindle they seem to be holding out better this time), can they be retro fitted to a mid 09 sport or is the bottom bracket a different size?

I asked about retrofit to my 08 905 and I don't think it can be done, shame as the cup & cone bearings need a fair bit of attention for high use bikes.

 

[Alex728]

where do you get the bits from? I cleaned and re-greased the bearings on mine this weekend (it has already done 1600 miles) and all is working well but eventually things will need replacing. (I guess I need some other tool to get the fixed cup off as the one in my toolkit only fits the adjustable lockring!)

I believe this was supposed to be put on the Wisper website but hasn't happened yet...

Which bits? I get bearings from Wisper but an LBS should be able to match them up, I don't think you'll get sealed bearings to retrofit.
You shouldn't need to remove the fixed cup, all the work is done from the other side.
