    Wisper 905 SE

    Spring 2008 model. Very light use - I'd estimate less than 1,000 total miles. I've added a Wisper rear rack and changed the rear tyre for a Schwalbe Marathon = having had the joy of a rear wheel puncture repair! Other than that it's bog standard and in VGC. £500 is the asking price and I'm...

I managed to source replacements via 7dayshop at a very reasonable price but a new battery means that the computer needs setting up from scratch.

    Lithium is the future!

    Or at least the big car manufacturers would seem to think that's the case according to this article from Clean Fleet report With that level of investment in Lithium technology hopefully we can expect spin off benefits both in terms of price and performance for electric bike batteries?

    Wisper computer manual

    Does anyone have one? I imagine that the computer will have some instructions - I know that the £5 wired computer that I bought from Aldi the other week came with an enormous sheet of instructions, so I can't believe that the fancy wireless job fitted to the 905SE doesn't have one. As others...
