I lve in Ireland I have a Wisper 905se 17 amp battery still going ok after 4 years. I think that model is discontinued , was thinking of getting a Kalhkoff but I dont like what I am reading I was thinking about Pro Conect 10 XT. They are over 3000. euros here . What dose anyone think of them. I am 76 yrs of age and have a Cube Agree carbon fiber racing bike as well . Have good few pains here and there and would like then Kalhkoff. Cheers

Ya same here last week on explorer seems ok now ??????

lNew hips Hi all I have had two hip replacements , last one 2 yrs ago and have no boder on a Wisper 905se can do 30 or 40 mls on it no trouble would like a bit more power for the hills at times , but hips no problem I would recomend a bit of cycling for to build up the mussle when your doctor says its safe to do so .Good luck wit the op. Cheers Michael Sullivan

Hi David, thanks for your coments , despite what I said the Alpino is a fine bike .Thank you for you going to contact Marty ,we might work some thing out ,and I might give the Alpino an other try , tell Marty you replyed to my coments on this forum and Marty might give me a ring . Thanks again David Yours hopefully Michael

Hi Michael I ordered the new Alpino 906 last May having had a spin on the old model I had to wait till about three weeks ago for the new model to araive at the dealer in Ireland . The first time I went for a spin I found it hard to cycle on with the viberation, on the handle bars and coming from the back . It stoped power abou 3 mls from my home nearly killed me to cycle home witout powed ,measured voltage on battery was ok 43 volts , charged battery over nite , tryed next morning ,no joy controler still dead. Opened the plate covering controler over crank and found the wire cming from bace of battery holder loose where it goes into conector, put back plate , stil no joy opened plate again and found the conecton itself loose fixed that and worked on .One of screws crostreded ,went for spin and bike went dead again about 3 mls from home .The viberation wes tereble ,wife colected me and out wit test meter again no curent coming from battery looked at fuse it was blown.Now what blew that opened plate again and fount conector for lights had come apart and shorted off frame , put in glass 35 amp fuse thats all I could find to fit the holder . The prop stand was falling off and the mudguard clip han come off ,mudguard now down on tyre. Fixed up every thing took it for spin seemed ok, but I handle the viberation. I am told the Alpino is for EU marked its not for Irish roads of tar and chips surface dressing. Its a fine bike but looks like they were assembeled in a hurry. I think 28 ins wheels makes it to big and high ,powerfull motor alrite 16 amp battery ok . But its to rigid or some thing .So the upshot of the story was I took it back to the supplyer and got an 805 se insted which seems ok so far Michael

drag on Alpino Hi I think David from Wisper should try and answer this question

drag on Alpino Hi all I am surprised Wisper havent come back to you with an explation about the drag on bike when freewheeling. I cannot understand why there is any drag on a brushless motor ,I have a City s which I have traded for the Alpino , so I am hoping there will be no drag ,I have found it very hard to pedal the bike with the battery flat or turned off . All though I think if you take out the battery the resistance is not as bad. Can anyone throw any ligh on this . ???????????

Well done Hi from Michael you made a good choice I have had a Wisper 905 se city for about 6 months ,so having had a demo 906 Alpino for the week end I have just ordered a new 906 Alpino.I think it is a brilant bike hope you enjoy it.. Cheers Michael Ireland

Thanks David I will ring you tomorrow. Cheers Michael

battery for wisper Hi Dave any news on a 15,amp battery comming out for the Wisper bikes. Cheers Michael

Hi David just back from my longest cycle this year I done 45.9 KLMS on fairly level roads some small hills , I done most of the pedeling on mid power ,about one tenth on trottle and a little more on hi power just made it home with the last light flashing.Fine if you say 50 KLMS is about right.The temp to day is 15 degs C. so weather not to bad. I an just under 12 stone weight,and fairly fit as I said done most of journey on pedal assist on mostly mid power .If you think this is about the go of the battery, can you tell me if there is a 15 amp battery coming out soom ,again thanks for replying to me , very grateful .Regards Michael

Hi again David I was out on bike yesterday it was a nice day here in Ireland 11 or 12 degs ,but I stil only got just under 30 KLMS and bearly 2 lights left ,so I will call to Marty an see can he sort it out .I was in hard luck last year when I got the bike ,Marty changed 3 battries for me .But I still think I could have one of the ones that gave trouble, thanks David for getting back to me , very gratefull to all , Michael

Hi Allen thanks for that about 11 degs here today went for spin and I think you are rite but I think the battery down in power done 30 KLMS only two lights left dats with me doin most of pedeling in mid power on controler. I will have to have it chequed out by trying another battery.

Hi David I will take the bike to Marty in Limerick we had a few problems at the start with batries which I must say Marty was very good to me .I am waiting for the weather to pick up and I will try out the bike at Martys and he can try out the battery when I take it for spin at his place ,any thanks David .ps, is there a 15amp battrey comming out soon. Cheers

Hi I have the same problem with the same bike I bought new last August we had the same cold weather here in South Ireland went out few times over Christmas and found I was down to two lights after 5 miles and was lucky to get home after 20 miles only 1 light left on controler . I done most of the pedeling myself .I was getting well over 30 miles when I got it first. I must say I am disapointed with it now for fear I will not be able to cycle home if I run out of battery power .I travel over mostly flat terrain no big hills .I will take it to the Irish suplier in CO.LIMERICK IRELAND when the weather gets better I kept the battery in warm room during winter. How much is a new battery Thanks
