Hello mike, Aside from both companies ‘reputations’ does anyone know how they really compare performance wise. After looking at both websites I have gathered the following stats which are the most important to me. Wisper: 905e Weight: 22.6kg Battery Life: 600-800 charges Range (assisted): up to 35miles Ezee Forza/ Forte: Weight: 26.3kg Battery Life: 500 charges Range (assisted): up to 30miles Once again I have no engineering knowledge, but the 905e does appear to be a better performer. Am I missing something (apart from the £496 if I was to go with the Ezee option)?? Regards

Hello John, I have also looked at the A to B website... there is plenty of info regarding the Ezee range but virtually nothing concerning the Wisper. Out of interest how long have Ezee/50cycles been in the electric bike market? With regard to the Wisper bike, is the fact they are a new company something I should factor into my buying decision? If anything I quite like the idea of going against the grain.... My usage will be fairly varied... some commuting (15 miles round trip), weekend rides (average 30 miles at a time)... fairly easy riding dotted with the odd big hill. Dirk

Hello everyone, Firstly what a great forum this. I have spent a good few hours trawling through the many threads. I would class myself as a ‘newbie’ in respect of pedelec/e-bikes. I am close to making my first purchase but thought it would be useful to draw upon everyone’s experiences first. The makes / models I am considering are: 1). Wisper 905e (£849) 2). Ezee Forza (£1395) 3). Ezee Forte (£1345) I have studied the various specs of each model and to me (someone with limited engineering knowledge) they seem quite similar. From reading previous threads I understand that actually the parts are reasonably different between Wisper and Ezee bikes in terms of quality, thus this is reflected in the prices. What perplexes me is that when you compare the bikes from a ‘usage’ perspective they appear to be similar, and in some cases the Wisper outperforms the Ezee bikes in some respects….. by this I mean they are lighter, have slightly better range and battery life is very good (I couldn’t actually find battery life stats on 50cycles website). My instincts tell me from a performance point of view any of the models would suffice, but from an expense viewpoint the 905e makes more sense… I also gather that both companies are equally pleasant to deal with (in terms of customer service/servicing/fixing problems) so that isn't an issue to me. Can anyone help me make my mind up?? Many thanks in advance
