Smart frame
Thanks Flecc and Wibble!
Flecc, I haven't thought of the Reggie's mother in law sequence for ages, what a brilliant program it was. Although superb too, I can't imagine how Martin Clune is going to be anything but disappointing after the brilliant Leonard Rossiter, time will tell!

On a stick?
I don't know David but I can't see why not, the frame is nearly a kilo lighter than the all alloy frame. The reason we built it was for lightness and strength, this bike will be traveling about 35,000 miles in the next three years. Now I see it I would love to use it on all our bikes, however it is a little expensive!
We are certainly going to use it on the 906.

The EBWT bike
Here is the final EBWT bike in all it's glory! We are testing a lot of new equipment on the bike such as Continental Town and County tyres to help take the Wisper quality to the next level.
Two weeks left before the start in Beijing.

Late start for Electric bike world tour
After some last minute problems with the trailer supplier the Electric Bike World Tour is about to set off from the Birds Nest Stadium Beijing.
Guim will be leaving on Saturday the 6th June on his epic 80,000km five continent trip on a hi bred Wisper Works 905/906se City S to arrive at the Olympic stadium in three years for the start of the games in London. He will be carrying three Wisper 37V 14A batteries that will be charged from solar panels when there is no electicity supply, these batteries will also supply power for video cameras and lighting.
The new web site will be published this week and I will post details when we have them.
If you read this Guim....... Good Luck!!
Best regards David

Electric Bike World Tour underway
Good Day Pedelecers!
Last week, Guim finally set off from the Bird's Nest Stadium Beijing China on his Wisper 906/905 hi bred World Tourer to tour the world on a journey covering five continents and now 80,000km.
Apart from his Kenda rear tyre exploding Guim managed to complete the first leg into Korea whithout incident. We hoped to be using the Continental touring tyre but it seemed impossible to get them to the start of the event without very expensive express deliveries from Germany. Kenda have now sponsored the tyres for the tour and have sent Guim a new product which is supposed to be indestructible, we will see!
Further information and Guim's first reports and images can be found on these links.

Electric Bicycle World Tour reaches Mount Fuji
Hi Pedelecers
The EBWT stopped for a day or two so Guim could conquer Mount Fuji (not all on his Wisper!)
I though you may enjoy this moody image as much as I did.

2,000 down 78,000 to go!
Guim has just completed his first 2000 miles and is in Hong Kong on his way down to Vietnam. He is beginning to pick up a lot of media interest and is doing a great job spreading the Pedelec word.
You can find videos and article in his September news letter at;

5500km down and into Cambodia
Hi a quick update on Guim's epic Wisper ride.
He is now in the middle of Cambodia with 5500 kilometers under his belt, only 74,500 to go before he rides into London at the Olympics in 2012.
Itinerary EBWT - Google Maps To see where he is now you need to scroll down to 1 2 3 Siguiente and click on 3.
Guim's bike with new attachments to keep of the Vietnamese rain and sun!
Vietnam was fantastic with everyone treating Guim like family. Guim has fallen in love with Thuy Anh a reporter from the Ha Noi TV station that interviewed him for national TV.
Whilst in Ha Noi Guim was spotted by a photographer shooting some Vietnamese fashion Guim kindly lent his Wisper as a prop!
Guim is still on the new Kendas and is having absolutly no problems now despite the poor road conditions.
For more info reports and some great photos log onto Electric Bicycle World Tour
Good luck Guim!

905se based (rear motor, 906 has front motor), but I think the frame is an upgrade to a latest (carbon?) type for that world tour.
