How hard to buy an electric bike in Sheffield?

[swordfish]

Thanks for the replies.
I'll certainly be giving the Wispers a look "in the flesh" as it were if they're in stock soon.

Trying to get my employers to start the cycle scheme so this may influence my final choice.

Have to admit I'm more of a fan of the looks of a mountain bike such as the Storck (not going up to that much cash tho) rather than the Juicy or Wisper.

I'm absolutely useless at bike maintenance though, so a local dealership seems like a must. Especially after reading this forum and the niggles (spokes, electrics) that a lot of pedelecs seem to get.

Hi Swordfish,

The new Classics are being delivered to dealers today.

If you prefer the Bosch mountain bike style, have a look at the Grace MX, it a brilliant bit of kit!

But will a local dealer sell The Grace?
And to be honest, I reckon 2 grand will be my absolute top limit. I don't really even want to go that high.

Hi SF,

The MX is three grand so a little expensive. Nearly 20 Wisper dealers have now taken the Grace bikes so they will be available for trial but may not be near to you.

Having ridden both bikes my personal preference is the Wisper905Classic for road use, the MX is superb though for trail and off road riding.

Good luck with your search!

All the best

Well I've just phoned Edinburgh Cycles.
31st May before the Wispers get to the warehouse , then a few weeks before they're likely to be in Sheffield.

Money doesn't stop in my pocket long. Think over a month may be too long a wait.

Thanks SW I will look into this, they were despatched from Wisper yesterday!

I do know however that E Coop, build all the bikes and double check them in Edinburgh before they despatch to their shops.

All the best
