So today I got a multimeter and tested between the rim, nipples and spoke. Rim-nipple was steady 0.1 and spoke to nipple was an on off 0.1. This was cleaned and dried first. Then I did it with everything wet from rainwater. The rim-nipple reading was 15.8 upwards, and the nipple-spoke reading...

To me, I'm just not sure this answer sounds right, especially if we're going to try to solve the problem so it doesn't happen again. As I said on my other thread, my kids' bikes that are years old and get used for school through the winter are not even rusting on the spokes at all. The bikes of...

I'm curious as to how other Wisper bike owners have found the wheels on their bikes, specifically if they've had more corrosion or rust than expected on their spokes and/or spoke nipples. As you can see in the thread below, at least two of us with the smaller size wheels have had issues, despite...

Well no reply from Wisper yet which is strange. I emailed them back 4 days ago with my original receipt, then I emailed two nights ago asking for an update on a solution but no reply yet.

I've used oil in the past to try to slow down the corrosion/rust, however as someone pointed out above, it's now also inside of the nipple, so I worry about it not just in an aesthetic level. Seeing the post from @warlord0 about spokes eventually breaking too, means I wouldn't want to just buff...

Thanks for the feedback and information on this. I would do this myself but I'm currently still disabled due to my condition (that my bike is definitely helping me improve overall) so it would be quite a lot of work to redo the wheels. I could try to get a friend or partner to learn to do it but...

Wow thank you for this. I was wondering how it's possible that I'm the only person saying this online, I tried to find more posts about it last night. Whether it's cheap parts or the wrong parts, I can't be the only one. And the fact I'm in Scotland in a humid environment shouldn't make a...

Aw I would love to but I only really got a chance to use them my first few week in Feb. I'm in bed too early to be out in the dark yet haha. Maybe in another month!

Thank you very much, that's actually so interesting! I would be surprised if Wisper used worse quality parts than my son's battered Halfords cheapie bike, so this makes more sense. Although it's not so exciting when it's happening with my bike. I will give them an email tomorrow and see what...

Hello all, I got a new Wisper bike back in February. I am recovering from long term illness and have used the bike about 10 miles a week on average, but most of that has been the summer months. I built a new shed for it and it lives in there, I rarely even leave it out anywhere, maybe a quick...

I think that would make a really good package if the insurance part was better, and more realistic locking requirements. The app has stopped freezing for now, however I'm still not getting the alarm notification reliably. Today I moved my bike without turning the alarm off to see if I got...

Thank you both for the information this was super helpful. I'll leave them for now if there's a chance they'll sort themselves out in time otherwise I'll take it to someone to sort cause it gives me the fear.

Ah ok, thanks. I'll get my husband to try this on his stand. I could definitely hear it coming on but as for how much assistance I was getting, that was just me feeling it. Maybe I'm fitter than I think? Haha

So I'm hoping someone here can help as I've had no reply from Wisper via email after my first email. When my bike arrived my husband checked it over because he knows more about bikes than me. He saw that the front brake pads are rubbing on the disc slightly. He tried to adjust it but when he...

I posted this to check if it was some kind of gradual decrease in assist allowed or to do with the L1e thing. But if no one is saying that this is within the norm, and I confirm it is happening on my bike, this post will vanish and I'll you'll never hear me talk about it again But there's no...

To listen for the motor coming on? Or something else?

I was looking at the attached screen that came with the bike at the time, while freewheeling then pedalling again to confirm that the motor was coming on, and it said 19.5mph. My Garmin watch app (GPS) says I was going 31kmph on that stretch of a road so I think that's about right.

Ok so I'm not complaining but trying to understand this. I have the Wisper 806 torque model, that I got certified for use with throttle only (L1e I think it's called?) Anyway, I got it cause I have mobility issues, but yesterday I was feeling particularly good and so on a long flat straight...

Backpedal have told me that in the event if my bike being stolen, and the app not being accessible by me, they would be able to request access from PowUnity, with my approval presumably. So, overall that part is pretty well covered.

To update, backpedal have assured me in writing that my bike will be attempted to be retrieved no matter what the circumstances of the theft are, no strict locking requirements etc. They have also had me add them to the PowUnity app now, to make sure they have access, even if the app is freezing...
