Hi Kudos cycles. Funnily enough, I have been looking at the KTM erace online and I think I'm going to take one for a test ride. I said in my earlier post that I'm happy with hub drives however I should try a crank just to see what I think. I don't mind pedalling however I'm aware that (generally) costs are less catastrophic if there's a major failure with a hub - compared to crank. Cheers

Thanks for the replies. Food for thought.

Hi d8veh, thanks for the feedback. Throttle isn't important to me. I never use it on the Wisper.

Hi there, I've come here for a bit of advice as I'm looking for a new ebike and I have me eye on a Kalkhoff Pro Connect Xion X24. I'm very happy with my Wisper and I like the hub drive. My only issue is that the frame size is a bit small for me. Looking at the Kalkhoff, it looks like it comes in a variety of frame sizes. My question is, does anyone here have experience of both bikes? Are they comparable machines? Will I regret getting rid of the Wisper? A bit of background. I client of mine was looking to start manufacturing ebikes and I did some branding work for him. I had a go on one of his test bikes and I was hooked. Eventually he ceased the project due to production difficulties so I purchased the Wisper. It has been 'de-restricted' which in practical terms means I get a couple more mph out of the bike. This is fast enough for me. I ride motorbikes and I'm not looking to get motorbike speeds out of an ebike. I use the bike for leisure, not for commuting. I'll pop down to 50cycles at some point for a test ride but I thought I'd ask the community here for your thoughts. Cheers Dougie
