I tried a good few ebikes before choosing the 905sel Wisper. for my style and fitness there wasn't anything better. Its powerful and well made. I am concerned though, yesterday I was told that the motor may be too powerful to be legal. The shop says its fine, can anyone confirm this is true or not?

I took my new bike into the local shop to get the gears adjusted, it took about two minutes and they did it free, they are perfect now very smooth. The shop owner said it was an excellent bike and the first electric bike he had seen that he would consider selling. I gave him your details David. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase it makes me feel 30 years younger and I can't seem to get this silly grin of my face when I am riding. My partner has christened me Danny Turbo Legs and is threatening to buy one too.

I should also say the finish on the bike was perfect, when I parked up for a cup of tea, people actualy stopped to admire it. All very satisfying.l

My birthday present to myself arrived this morning! Just back from a long maiden ride along the sea-front and back up to the house, very impressed. The last bike I owned was a Claud Butler racing bike about thirty five years ago. The Wisper is a lot heavier than my old bike but it was fantastic to ride and surprisingly very agile. There were no rattles, the bike was almost silent and much more powerful than I remembered during the test ride. It whisked me back up the hill after my ride with hardly any effort. The gears need a little adjustment but that is my only critasism. Best of all were the looks from the young fit pedal cyclists as I sped past them.

Yesterday I ordered a Wisper 905sel with hydraulic brakes. I will report on the site how I get on with it, it is a bit of a beast but suited me perfectly, the quality was better than other bikes I tried and I have been told their after sales service is excellent. Thanks for your help.

I live in Brighton and work in London. I had the opportunity to get out at the weekend and try some electric bikes, I now understand why there is such a price difference between them. I tried an I Zip that was not what I was expecting but cheap at one end and the Metro at the the other that was powerful but too heavy for my taste. My favourites included the Eagle from Free go, the Wisper 905se and the Raleigh, although I felt this bike lacked the power of the other two. I am waiting to try the sel from Wisper before I make up my mind which one to go for.

Thanks very much Flecc. I am very grateful to you for your help. I spent a few hours yesterday studying the various bikes available and comments on this web site. The Torano is popular and the Wisper seems to be well regarded although some of their bikes seem a little overpriced. I think the next move for me is to test ride a selection of bikes. I think I may wait for some warmer weather though.

Thank you for replying to my request. I have a good budget of up to about £2000.00 and have looked at quite a lot of sites. I cannot understand why some bikes are so expensive and others with what seems to be the same or similar specs are half the price. I do have a reasonable budget but do not want to over pay although I want to spend my money wisely though.

I have been thinking about the purchase of an electric bike since the summer. The choice is far bigger than I had anticipated and frankly I am confused. Would you of the kind soles on this web site be able to offer some advice? I live most of the time in Brighton and would be doing most of my riding here for social travel, excersize and to enjoy the area. I am 61 next week not fit and too heavy. I have decided not to buy a push bike due to the Steep hills in the area.
