April 28, 20223 yr Author Congrats David. Did the carbon version make it to the show ? Hi Yes it did and there was a lot of interest, not sure we are going to run with it though, still deciding. All the best, David
April 29, 20223 yr Hi Yes it did and there was a lot of interest, not sure we are going to run with it though, still deciding. All the best, David Yes, I can understand it's not a straightforward decision, it's no doubt a niche market, and could there be more potential warranty claims if a carbon framed hub motor is more fragile than the equivalent alloy framed bike? Would be a cool addition to the lineup, some kudos for covering all choices. I guess it'll come down to price and how it compares to other lightweights from Ribble, Specialized, Boardman etc. Good luck
April 29, 20223 yr When battery energy density increases, ebikes could be made pretty much indistinguishable from human powered - the Tailwind is almost there, at casual glance it could easily be misidentified as a normal bike.
July 7, 20223 yr Author Getting ready for Eurobike. Standard and long range batteries. Very excited! All the best, David
July 16, 20223 yr Hi all, as you know I try and keep everyone on Pedelecs a little ahead of the curve on our developments. The new Tailwind and Tailwind C will be here by the summer. They both have a choice of 360 or 540Wh in frame batteries and run on the fantastic new AKM power unit. The Tailwind has an aluminium frame, 27.5” 2.2” tyres and can be supplied in four configurations. Commute, Commute Comfort, eMTB and Adventure. [ATTACH type=full" alt="44997]44997[/ATTACH]Tailwind Adventure with sus forks The Tailwind C has a carbon frame and forks, weighs in at a tad over 14kg and sports C700 with 1.95” tyres. [ATTACH type=full" alt="C37A8649-2125-45F0-927F-BC73BDE039EC.jpeg]44995[/ATTACH] Tailwind C I rode them both last week in Portugal. They are both astonishingly good although I am a bit biased!! Better images coming soon!! All the best, David This may be a stupid question (sorry) but can you please perhaps explain the differences between this and the Wayfarer?
July 16, 20223 yr Author This may be a stupid question (sorry) but can you please perhaps explain the differences between this and the Wayfarer? Hi Cjd, Great question! Firstly about 9kg! The Wayfarer can take a 700Wh battery and is a very comfortable limo of a bike. The Tailwind is more nimble. The Wayfarer has the choice of mid or hub drive, the Tailwind only hub… currently. Then there’s the style… All the best, David
July 16, 20223 yr @Wisper - just a FYI, I couldn't help noticing this typo: "All Wisper bikes have a “twist grip of thumb controlled” assistance" ...on this page: https://wisperbikes.com/faqs/#cadence-speed
July 17, 20223 yr As promised.... As we have both 100Nm mid motors and 50Nm hub motors fitted to the almost exactly the same bikes we have tested them both and we know this to be pretty well correct. All the best, David [ATTACH type=full" alt="45021]45021[/ATTACH] Do both motors produce the same amount of power ?( not torque) Thanks
July 17, 20223 yr Author Do both motors produce the same amount of power ?( not torque) Thanks Hiya Haggis, yes both are 250W nominal peaking ar about 600W. All the best, David
September 16, 20223 yr [mention=181]Wisper Bikes[/mention] what height range is the Tailwind able to accommodate? I'm 188cm but can't see from your site if it'll be too small.
