Newly built full suspension MTB with lightweight aluminium frame and integrated Bafang M620 motor. This bike was very carefully built by myself for the intention of exploring the Scottish Highland trail routes as my retirement hobby. However, during the build I became seriously ill and this has...

Anyone else seen this wheel? Am I the only one who thinks it's a whole lot of problems about to bite anyone who buys one? :o This ground breaking invention just may be about to revolutionise commuter cycling forever - Sticky Bottle

I suppose that most manufacturers will exaggerate the mileage capability of their bikes by giving figures for tests done on the flat, and on the lowest power setting! The 28 A/hour battery in this bike, should, however, make a vast difference to my journey home from work. This is only around...

Anyone seen or ridden one of these Lifestyle mountain sport endurance bikes? I could be tempted by the long range if it's genuine, and if the bikes are well made. Mountain Sport Endurance Electric Mountain Bicycles|LifeCyle Electric Bikes

Thanks for the link flecc, I will try that route, and I will spell disappointed correctly next time!

It's now two months exactly since I contacted my Wisper dealer about my 905 se sports front forks problem, and despite several phone calls since, by me to them, nothing seems to have been done, despite being told it was being dealt with. I read so much on here about Wisper's legendary service...

You have to pay Import duty at 4%, and also Vat at 20%, all based on the commercial Invoice from the supplier, so it does depend on total he has charged.

Well I'm pretty tall so when the seat is high, I have a lot of pressure on my wrists from the low handlebars, and any more height would help. I should have tried more bikes before buying this one. Not happy with the mileage either, checked it last Saturday on a run of 10.5 miles, which had 3...

Oh. and does anyone from Wisper look at this clinic, or is it a waste of time posting on this bit? Is it better just to use the electric bikes forum to post on?

Update on faulty forks problem. No word from e-bikes direct since I spoke to the tech guy on the 15th August. I had sent him a photograph of the forks, and the number which was on them, as he wasn't sure which forks were on my bike. I phoned e-bikes this morning to see what was happening, and...

lol, yeah I suppose that's true, but the reason I got the bike was to ease the pressure on my feet as I have dodgy toe joints! I will try the saddle tip though, and just be careful not to go over the handlebars... ouch....! Interesting yours were jammed from new Mussels, hopefully it's not...

Hi Steve, yeah had the bike 6 months, they are jammed solid wherever the lever position, it's not the lock thanks.

Anyone had any problems with the front suspension forks on the 905 SE Sports? My bike is only 6 months old, and the forks appear to be seized solid! This is a major problem for me on this bike mainly because of the fixed handlebars on this model. (Which still does not appear on Wisper's own...

Hi Frank, cheers for that, and I have some of that heatshrink kicking around somewhere that I got from rs components for a job ages ago, Hmmn now where did I put it? Gogs.

Thank's John, much appreciated! Gogs

Hi Mike, I have just fitted an 8 fun kit on my Saracen tourer and kept all the three chainwheels. I decided to keep all the gears for the simple reason that if you run out of battery at any stage, the bike is much easier to ride home if you have the lower gearing available to you, electric...

Good advice Frank, may just shorten the wiring and tidy it all up then use waterproof insulating tape on all the joints instead. Do you get any problems with water ingress? all the best, Gogs.

Thanks Barry, I will do a better description of the sensor bracket, with pictures, when I get time, as it may help some others fitting the same kit. I am also going to mould a case to cover the wiring and the controller box also, in g.r.p. Been in the moulding business for 25 years now so...

Hi Frank, thanks for that! Gogs.

Hi Ian, I decided to use the 8 fun kit, and have now finished the conversion on my Saracen Hy Road. I have made a stainless steel bracket to hold the pedelec sensor on the left side, and this is bolted onto the bottom chainstay bracket, between the bracket, and the kickstand. The magnet...
