Hi Linda
The Wisper name and style is solid, not going anywhere, we are simply moving production to Germany, our bikes will be built at the same factory as makes the Grace bikes, hence the connection.
Some components will still come from China, and we will continue to use the Japanese Dapu system. Many other components will now be sourced in Europe and instead of being painted, the frames will be powder coated in Germany for a tougher finish than even before.
The move to Germany is a part of our plan for growth over the next few years. We have taken on a new Director, a German national who has massive experience in both the electric bike and bicycle markets, he is currently spearheading our sales efforts on the continent of Europe and is doing extremely well. Dick Lai and our Chinese staff are setting up sales and distribution in Asia, there is a lot of demand in China for European products.
I realise it all seems a little topsy turvy, sending coals to Newcastle, but as you know we have always done things a little differently at Wisper!
All the best
David
