I see, that’s why they are cheaper than anywhere else I have looked. Now I wonder if can get someone to price match them........

That’s interesting. I’m leaning more to the Wisper torque atm. It’s priced reasonably too at the e-bikesdirect website.

Thanks for that. It certainly cleared a few things up. I just wish it wasn’t so hard to pick a bike.

Thanks for the explanation. I just thought with a cadence sensor it would be harder to start up again if you had to stop mid way up the hill as you would need to give the pedals a few turns before the motor would kick in. I think both the Oxygen and Wisper has a throttle.

Thanks for the replies. I’m trying the Oxygen bike next week. The Wisper is more harder to get hold off as I cannot find anyone with one. The closest Wisper bike I can try is the 905 SE. I’m more leaning towards the Wisper 905 Torque and correct me if I’m wrong is the torque sensor better than the cadence which I believe the Oxygen has for going up hills and such?

Hi all. I’m new to the world of electric bikes, I have been searching for bikes around the £1000-£1500 mark and I have kinda narrowed it down to these 2 bikes. My commute to work is between 7 or 8 miles round trip with a hill. I currently use a Boardman MTB but I would like try out a electric bike. I never knew searching for a new one would give me such I headache. I thought I found the one I wanted in the Oxygen S-Cross MTB then I realised I don’t go off road so I than choose the CB version then I heard good things about the Wisper 905 torque mk2. I have found they are both about the same price. Please help me to decide in your opinion which is the better bike? Many thanks all. Jimmy.

That would be great thanks, there’s no harm in trying.

Ok thanks Ok thanks. You have just made it a harder choice for me now. I really like all 3 the choices I have made so far.

Not sure if I can. I work for for Royal Mail and their scheme is halfords or cycle plus.

True, Did wonder if to go with the halfords ebikes but some of the reviews put me off. Just need to decide on this bike or the Wisper 905. I hope I can top up my £1000 c2w or cycle plus voucher.

Thank you all for the responses. Now if I was to get the oxygen should I stick with the 10.4ah battery or go for the 13ah?

Very interesting thread. I'm new to these ebikes and I have my eye on this bike and also the Wisper 905 torque mk2. I did want the woosh Rio but unfortunately they don't accept cycle2work vouchers. Just not sure if these 2 bikes are a little of an over kill for me as I only commute 7 miles with a hill on the return from work.
