Would the charger I find on ebay be ok though? It is a 'smart' charger - i.e. it will stop charging once battery is full. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131111562281&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Just called but they are out of stock for 6 weeks - thanks for the tip though!

No mine is XLR

Hi I have a Wisper 905 eco. I want to get a sperate charger for work and don't really want oto pay the £95 for an original. I can actually get an original from China from the manufacturer for much less. I saw this on ebay and wondered if it would work - same spec as the charger supplied: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131111562281&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 Anyone had experience / any understanding of these chargers?

Reporting back ... another faulty controller! Had the bike out 6 times now - not a problem since replacement.

Hi I have the Wisper 905 eco. Planning to go away this summer. I already have roof bars but need to find a cycle carrier that can hold the bike - It weights about 19kg without batery and all the halfords carriers only allow up to 15kg - anyone have a recommendation?

About 1 month ago, 1 day without any changes to the bike / bad weather conditions, the throttle is only giving me walking speed. Wisper support suggest it could be the 2 purple wires out of the controller that have become connected to put bike into walking mode - this was not the case - back to the shop and a new controller was fitted under warranty. Get bike home after testing in the shop all seems ok, no propulsion with throttle or even pedal assist now! Bouce the bike on the floor just incase of a faulty connection - bike now works! Cycle to work (12 miles) stopping roughly every 2 miles to bounce bike back into life. Call support - they suggest visually inspect the wiring and to also disconnect brake sensors just incase of a faulty brake sensor. No luck with all that, put everything back - now can't get bike to bounce into life again. Getting power from the battery to front console with LEDs to no problem with a fuse / battery - it's not a brake sensor so that leaves motor or controller again? Not very happy. Bike is back at the shop now - let's see what happens.

Has anyone ever looked in to fitting a derestriction button to any of the Wisper eco models? From looking at a maintenance document I found on the web, it may be possible to add one since it simply plugs into the handlebar controller. Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

Thanks David

Hi All, Anyone have any idea why the battery charger is a three pin plug (reminds me of a microphone XLR jack)? It's a little annoying that if I want a second charge I have to fork out £80+. Are there any alternative on the market that don't void my warranty?

Thanks guys. I will pop in a ceramic one tonight and keep the glass for a realy emergency.

Hi All, I recently had to replace the 30A fuse in my Wisper 905eco battery. The only ones I could find were glass fuses. Can anyone tell me if it is a problem using a glass fuse instead of the supplied ceramic type fuse? Everything seems to be perfectly normal so far!

All seems fine this morning remarkably! Thanks for your concern

Just had my first ever collision, only had my bike 1 month. Coming home from work in a cycle lane and someone pulled out and hit my back wheel and it made a rather loud bang. Both car and bike seemed fine - a light came off which I put back on, and my chain fell off the front cog. A bit shaken up but got back on and off I went. Wheels and gears seem fine, as does motor, battery and controller!

I have conditioned the battery yes.
