    Wisper Wayfarer m9 700Wh arrived

    Nice choice! We have 2 Wayfarers with the 700wh battery, they're really nice ebikes, and you'll have a safe 60 miles of range between charges with the 700 one. Both ours have the wood in the rear rack and no signs of cracks or anything, and it's suitable for double pannier setup even tho it...

    "How to protect your e-bike after huge spike in thefts"

    Looks like the owner locked it up through the quick release front wheel and left the battery on the e-bike too.

    "How to protect your e-bike after huge spike in thefts"

    Agree that those statistics are open to all kinds of manipulation depending what you want to exacerbate, so wouldn't read too much into it. Best thing to do is not leave your battery in the e-bike if parked up.

    Folding bikes

    I commute on my Brompton when the weather is nice, simple to fold away under my bench at work and with the basket bag on the front it carries an amazing amount of stuff so you don't need to use a rucksack.

    Suntour NCX SP-12

    Lol, i got that seat post, i just machine different diameter sleeves to fit my various bikes, it's really good taking out the bumps, tho be sure to set the preload for your weight. Bought mine back in April '21 for £52, shocking the price of them now!! One negative tho, the incremental angle...

    Wisper Wayfarer H7 review

    In keeping with my original review and updates on our bikes(we have 2 Wayfarers), i made a rear mount today at work to carry my D-lock on the bike. Bonus security feature is that it also stops anyone trying to have my panniers away!

    Wisper Wayfarer H7 review

    I think that's taking it a bit extreme but each to their own i guess. I personally am really not fussed about it, i only mentioned it here as i thought it might be useful information if your looking to buy a Wisper Wayfarer.

    Wisper Wayfarer H7 review

    Old question but someone might find it relevant. The blue light is on the battery itself, to show the battery is switched on. The red/green light the manual refers to is on the charger not the battery, red is charging, green is fully charged.

    Wisper Wayfarer H7 review

    The only time i felt we needed brake cut-off sensors on our Wayfarer is negotiating through those metal hoop barriers you get at the ends of footpath/alley ways, where you go left, right, left to get through them, the motor can kick in with half a turn of the pedals just when you don't want it...

    Wisper ebikes

    We have 2 Wisper Wayfarers and a Woosh Rambletta in the family, and aside from a couple of niggles they've all been excellent purchases. Aftersales has been excellent for both too.

    2 Wisper Wayfarers have very different motor assist power??

    I've had a reply from Wisper uk. The wayfarer with the AKM motor will need a software update and after that it will ride the same as our other one.

    2 Wisper Wayfarers have very different motor assist power??

    I'm slowly getting more info on this searching internet. The later 2022 Wayfarer uses an AKM motor and the earlier Wayfarer uses an SY motor. Wisper list each controller specific to the motor, and they're not interchangeable as connections and number of wires is different. Presume the later...

    2 Wisper Wayfarers have very different motor assist power??

    I've looked at the controllers in each bike, both the same except for Number and Date. Early Wayfarer controller Model: YCSH-A Number. (145-015) 20200116002377 Date 2020-1 Later Wayfarer controller Model: YCSH-A Number. (145-034) 20201219003338 Date 2020-12

    2 Wisper Wayfarers have very different motor assist power??

    Hi all, We have 2 Wisper Wayfarer bikes both with 43v 700wh batteries. One was bought September 2020 new, and the other recently bought secondhand and is 2 years old, so about 2022. The issue is that in the same riding modes, ie in Tour, the early Wayfarer bike will get up to 15mph with no...

    Wisper Wayfarer H7 review

    Just an update as I had another pedelec post remind me of this, there is no motor cutoff switch/sensor on the brake levers. So pedal half a turn and the motor kicks in but stops after about 2 seconds, in that time only your brakes being applied quickly can stop the bike moving forward as there...

    Wisper Wayfarer - hard to ride

    I know this is an old thread but it's a current bike in the Wisper range so i think its worth confirming his safety issues, our Wisper Wayfarer H7 cadence also doesn't have motor cut-off sensors wired into the brake levers. It's especially unnerving when negotiating bollards or metal barriers at...

    Rambletta or Raleigh Motus

    Can I just add an update to my Woosh Rambletta. 1500+ miles to date, 3 1/2 years ownership and it's still rides perfect, credit to Woosh. Great bike. No issues at all. Range is 35-38miles with the 12ah battery, I'm actually looking to buy a 2nd battery to carry for longer rides to compare to my...

    Are there any 500AH Bosch frame-mount PowerPacks available (new or good second-hand)?

    I just phoned Raleigh for the price of a Powerpack 500 downtube mounted one for a 2021 Raleigh Motus Grand Tour. £800 but it can only be ordered through one of their dealers. 2 in stock in the UK. Part no.027 500 7530.

    Rambletta or Raleigh Motus

    I don’t know, all I know is the original pivot pin on my one was typical Chinese quality, it was guillotined when should be cut/sawn to length and it was also barely long enough(see photo). I made a guide tube to drill through the blind hole and keep the alignment perfect, then reamed and fitted...
