    Is it Smarta to Wisper or Twist? I need Oxygen

    Weellll, just in case anyone is interested...I finally went for the Giant Twist Freedom CS Lite.... Why? In the end it came down to a choice between the Wisper City S and the Giant for me - I wanted suspension forks and post as its quite a bumpy ride. The Smarta and the Oxygen just felt...

    Wisper Query

    Dear all, is there any difference in the ride on a Wisper with an 8ah battery rather than a 14ah battery? Is it just range affected or also power if climbing up a hill. And is the frame geometry on the tourer identical to that on the city/sport? Much obliged, chris

    Is it Smarta to Wisper or Twist? I need Oxygen

    Forgot to add - also keen on the Twist as can get it in a 55cm frame - as I'm 6'2 - all the others are around 49cm. And no idea how many cycles you get out of the Oxygen's lith poly battery.

    Is it Smarta to Wisper or Twist? I need Oxygen

    OK...so I have about 1250 for a new bike I could get the Smarta GT from ETS for 999 plus the 100 they'll charge to cover the cycletowork scheme commission. Looks like a good package, Synergie Mistral (which i believe from this forum is its ancestor) got pretty solid reviews and seems...
