Since I got my Cytronex and had my eyes opened to Ebiking it has opened a whole new world for me. I have always loved cycling but being a uniped it was always a bit of an effort and therefore I tended to cycle only when I was really motivated. Having that “cushion” of power in reserve just takes the edge of the hills and wind and enables me to cycle more often without completely chin strapping myself.
I want another bike. My Cytronex is great and has become the bike I use for exercise. Due to the narrow wheels the Urban 500 is at its best on smoother roads. In my Ebike fleet it fills the “Sports car” role. What I want along side the sports car is something a little more practical, comfortable with mild off road capabilities. Something to cope with the back lanes, maybe do a few forest tracks and carry a bit of shopping. If the Cytronex is a Ferrari I’m looking for a Range Rover.
I’ve got £1500 to spend and have narrowed it down to two choices
Wisper 905 SE Sport(14A) or Gepida Sirmium
As I see it the pros and cons are
Wisper
Pros
BEBA member with a presence on the board
Well proven design
Great customer back up
Great customer feedback
Big battery and impressive range
Local dealers near where I live so should be able to try before I buy
Cons
Some reviews question the brakes
Gepida
Pros
BEBA member with a presence on the board
Crank motor had great rep for hill climbing and reliability
MTB looks
Cons
No local dealers so would be buying “blind”
Not seen any customer feedback
Website a little lacking is specific details for the Sirmium
My simple brain says smaller battery means less range
