Thanks for the responses, I found the thread in the Wisper bikes clinic forum :) Yes I guess as electric bikes are still relatively new and we are kind of beta testing them its right to expect to have to adjust them to maintain a high level of performance, it would just be nice if the...

Hi, my brakes constantly need adjusting too, I have adjusted them myself but have asked the electric transport shop in London to have a look at them too, but they said they would have to charge me as I had adjusted them myself and they cant be sure that i haven't done any damage to the bike...

Hi I wonder if anyone could advise me on the level of after sales service I can expect from an electric bike retailer. Having purchased my bike a couple of months ago I have found that the brake cables constantly need tightening, I just spoke to the retailer and asked if he could look into...

Hi David :) can I purchase a folding key for my bike? I'm sure its possible to buy a blank and have it cut at a high street key cutter?? Jo

I'd also like to see the battery key located in a more protective position as mine keeps bending whilst in the battery as it sticks out at the side and is probably getting knocked etc.

My charger needs to be off when attached to the battery :confused:

I'm in my late 30's, female and I started cycling about 10 years ago but hadn't ridden regularly for about 6 years due to work pressures, fitness and moving to the edge of london so unable to commute comfortably. Buying my Wisper was the best thing I've done in years!

Because i'm at my most happy on 2 wheels exploring the streets of London and the country lanes of Kent, I get bored whilst walking and waiting for public transport, I'm an environmentalist so have never driven a car, I need to get fitter and lose weight, I like to breath fresh air when possible...

Advantages -no need for a car..i hate them anyway, more freedom to explore, ability to commute to work without relying on public transport, speeeeed, ability to ride up hills i would have normally walked to get up. Disadvantages - weight, attractiveness to theives, other cyclist shouting...

Yes but only when bicycles are given equal priority on the streets...its a jungle out there right now!

on this website after doing a google search on electric bikes. :)

Wether it could get me to work and back on one battery charge, reliability, customer service, speed, weight. I spent a week reading this forum then bought the bike.

Yes I have a rear view mirror like this one To be honest I think all cars should be banned from the road as there are so many careless drivers out there, its quite shocking. I try to stay as visible as possible with a reflective waistcoat, red and white helmet and lights etc, and I...

I use my wisper for a 24 mile round trip, and as I have gotten fitter am arriving at work with a full battery :) I would suggest you buy a second charger and charge the bike at work...

I'd also like a low power mode for use in slow moving traffic etc, a smaller frame as I can just about get on and off mine easily when I wear trainers with a fairly high sole, a chain guard, a rear disk brake and better brake cables as mine always need tightening. Oh and a range of bike...

I just looked at the weather forecast and its going to rain for the rest of the week. Do you have any tips for cycling in the rain? I'm a bit worried about slippery roads and skidding etc. :)

Is there much evidence to suggest that alarms deter thieves more than having 2 sturdy and different locks?

The Wisper is an excellent bike, I love mine!! I do a 24 mile commute on it which I could never do on my ridgeback mountain bike. I'm getting fitter, loosing weight, seeing loads of london, out in the sunshine and having loads of fun. Going to work is a real joy now... :) I am sure you...

Thanks for your reply David ;) I've been taking advantage of the long travel on my left brake by using it primarily to cut the motor then using it as a break if necessary, its quite useful in slow moving traffic etc etc. But i may have it tightened at some stage.

hehe...on his wheels of steel
