Have to admit--the Wisper is fun.

Remember the 'runaway Wisper'? No--probably not--but never mind.

Well--it has been back to the dealer for some re-training and today we went to collect it and bring it home and before we loaded it-- I asked if if I could give it a quick spin.

Goodness--it's SO different from the Powabyke. Same sort of difference as there is between riding, say, my Thoroughbred horses and a hairy cob.

So light and easy to handle. A wee bit 'skittish' compared to the cob--er I mean the PB--and of course, very stylish.

The next one I want to try is the Eco Monark, if I can find one.

I am still remaining loyal to my trusty and reliable 'hairy cob' though. We have had some good times together--and if and when I want a frisky thoroughbred, why then--I have the four legged version, eating it's head off, just down the lane.

Nice story, but what on earth is a Hairy Cob?

I find my Wisper a bit skittish too - that steering is so light at low speed. I can't compare it to any other e-bike, as the Wisper is so far my only venture into e-biking.

The amount of power available always amazes me. I did buy it on a combination of looks and specification, but the reality of riding it was still a revelation. It's like having two other people pedalling at the same time, without the extra weight.

Definitely not a bike your granny might ride.

I thought lots of grannies ride e-bikes?

I'm sure they do - but probably not the Wisper. I wonder if Vikki is with us today (she has one too) - are you anyone's granny, Vikki?

It's a sort of horse. A slowish, reliable and not terribly snazzy one usually. The opposite end of the 'horse scale' to a thoroughbred racehorse. (see Cheltenham Festival on the telly this week, for them.)

Nooo - you're somebody else's granny. Too much Sanatogen!

I think most of us on here are old enough to be someone's granny - or granddad. Don't all protest at once - I know there are plenty of exceptions!
