    Which ebco bike?

    Great choice... not that I'm biased :) I chose the blue one, but if I was to choose another colour it would be the black -looks very classy. As to panniers you will most probably need the extension rack which your dealer will sort out for you.

    705se Computer / Controller

    Hopefully an easy question -but I was wondering if there is a way of changing the display from km/h to mph?

    Which ebco bike?

    I too have the standard battery -although I'm not best placed to comment on its range because I haven't yet taken it out on a long ride. As AN says, it's really easy to slip in and out of the rack, but I charge it in situ. I've found the saddle comfortable enough, but I'm sure you could swop...

    Which ebco bike?

    As AN says I'm a fairly recent rider of the Wisper 705se and whilst I'm not in a position to compare it to the others you have on your shopping list - I do feel able to comment on my experience with the 705 so far. Firstly, as David has already suggested - I do encourage you to go and try both...

    Trading up

    Hello and welcome. Just wanted to add a different perspective. My partner suffers from chronic degenerative arthritis in his knees and he test rode both the Wisper Torque and SE (cadence version). He opted for the SE because he felt it was more forgiving on his knees. He has been using it...

    Well, I've gone and done it...

    Hi Mister E and welcome. Re the pannier discussion - when my partner got his 905se he was also given a set of double panniers which can be attached on the existing rack without the extension (which I have to say I'm not really a fan of -check out my avatar for an example of how it looks). His...

    Ebiking lets me..

    Obviously, when you said 'right' you really did mean 'left' so, as the kids say these days, "it was your bad" :) Lovely dog.. some sort of german shepherd yes? Very well trained and he clearly loves his runs out with you.

    Ebiking lets me..

    ....pretend I'm still fit :) I love being able to jump on a bike and simply ride, not worrying about whether i'll show myself up 'huffing and puffing'. It's my way of building fitness whilst getting out and about in the glorious countryside that Norfolk has to offer. Has also brought me to...

    Which bike from a choice of 3??

    Looking good Angelnorth ;) I have to admit that although I opted for the new 'blue' summer colour -on retrospect I think I might have preferred the grey - looks very classy.

    Ladies e bike for 4ft 11" lady

    Hi again Donna, I posted a response about the bike I've got on the other thread you posted in, not noticing you had already started this one. Like you (sorry RobF) I need to be able to touch the ground when I stop -otherwise I simply do not feel safe. I cannot begin to say how many times I've...

    Aha. Thanks Donna. Am on my mobile so hadn't spotted that :)

    Which bike from a choice of 3??

    PS. You might want to check out the AMPS.com website for details and specs, or maybe David, who owns the Wisper brand, might pop on here to help. His Torque version has the best of both, with a pedal assist option. Angelnorth, a member on here has one a loves it. I tried the T version but opted...

    Which bike from a choice of 3??

    Mine is the Wisper 705se, they also do a Torque version. The 705 is a stepthrough , which I need because I too am vertically challenged :) am 5'4" but with short legs. I have to put the seat post down to the lowest level, but find I can touch my toe down without having to dismount. I was...

    Which bike from a choice of 3??

    Hi Donna, I ride a 'pedal assist' version and am also trying to get fit -I do find that sometimes it seems as if I don't need to put much effort in (on flats) but if I'm in the mood I simply drop the 'assist' level down (or off) and/or adjust the gears and that does the trick. Having the option...

    One big hill

    Hi Trex, fair enough, I've no real experience when it comes to it, but was just trying to encourage the OP to look into a c2w scheme. Whilst the limit is £1k you could pay the difference, meaning the OP could put money towards it, that's what I was going to do but found a bike to suit my needs...

    One big hill

    I'd look into this more if I were you -they may have particular suppliers who they prefer you use and if you know that, you can check out what bikes they can offer. A quick google search throws up a few good names - Ebco, Freego to name but two -all within your price range. With c2w schemes...

    Which bike from a choice of 3??

    My thoughts on this are -you get what you pay for to a lesser or greater degree. I would not spend +£s on top branded stuff, just for the logo -but would spend extra for quality, if that makes sense. There are a good few folks on here who have invested in a Crossfire and so far they seem to...
