Thanks to all for making comments on this thread. I have now been to see Ben at Cyclexperience in Brockenhurst in the New Forest. Had a test ride on a Wisper 705 torque and decided to buy it. It suits my needs and I tested the torque feature which gives me instant power as soon as I put pressure...

Just rung up my nearest Wisper dealer [Cyclexperience of Brockenhurst, Hants] who tell me the Wisper Torque bikes may not do what I want as explained above i.e. get the motor going immediately I release the brake and put pressure on the pedal] They explained that the only bikes that do that are...

Thanks for the replies so far. I will look at the Wisper bike. Certainly if the motor comes in as soon as you apply pressure [presume holding the brake lever and putting pressure on the pedal while you wait for green] this would seem to be a great help. With my bike at the moment it takes a few...

I am 75 yrs old and have had the same ebike for 7 years. I am now looking for another up to £2000 My existing bike has Twist and Go which at my age and disability I have found invaluable,particularly at starting off from lights, pushing up steps, or going through gates off road etc etc. I keep...

It's now September 2014 so hope I can ressurrect this thread as follows. I have read the FAQ page on the use of a throttle on an ebike and I'm sure it has been covered here before but can't find it. I might be a bit dumb but it appears to say you can use a throttle in the UK. However when I...

Salisbury Problems For information I have just heard from Makro. They have been in touch with Powacycle and it has been agreed to give me a full refund.

Salisbury Problems The bike is still playing up. I dont think the replacement battery charger is working properly. Also the stop/start of the motor has got really bad. It has now become a health and safety issue. I went to ride accross a junction to get to the other side of a busy road when the...

Salisbury problems Have been riding the bike since I posted last and detailed all the problems I have had. I dont know what to say really as off road on a rather bumpy bridleway the motor still stops spasmodically. On a smooth road it goes along fine. I hear what was said previously that...

Salisbury problems Hi Flecc - thanks for your answer. I have had further developments as it appears it is now a faulty controller. I found a local dealer (Universal Electric Transport, Wimborne). I was originally told there wasnt one. Anyway they have been very helpful. UET fitted a new...

Salisbury Problems Further to my posts with the problems I have encountered with My Powacycle Salisbury. I am finding at the moment that if I am off road and it is fairly bumpy that the bike has a tendency for the motor to stop working briefly. Sometimes it comes back on and sometimes I have to...

Thanks for Replies Thanks for the replies. I will start on the process of conditioning the battery. Could take a bit of time though looking at the weather (We're starting to get snow even down here ). Will do a post when its done or if I have more problems. Its good to know help may be...

Salisbury Powacycle queries I'm not sure if "20 inch terror" is still available to answer Powacycle queries but any way here's my story ! I bought a Salisbury from Makro on 2nd December 2009. When I unpacked it the switch on the handlebars had broken away. Also when I charged the battery up...
