New Kiwi Wisper owner

[Kiwi Pedelar]

Greeting from sunny New Zealand where it’s currently a balmy 30° C / 85° F.

Own a few human powered bikes including a 26" Tange steel MTB that I've owned and ridden from the '80s, a reasonably modern 29er alloy frame MTB, and 700C road/ravel GRX equipped Surly steel frame bike, and now a Wisper Wayfarer M7.

I enjoy working on and upgrading bikes, in many cases slowly swapping parts to move up the Shimano food chain. I like to buy everything at auction (except for tubes and tyres).

My wife rides a TREK Allant+ 7S step thru with the Bosch Performance Line Speed mid motor and I find it a bit hard to keep pace!

Anyway, I picked up a pretty new looking Wisper Wayfarer M7 with the 700 Wh battery via a local auction site for around £1,000 and that pushed me to sign up. Tyres are presently CST Rock Hawks so I'll be swapping those for Schwalbe Big Ben Plus tyres for a the road biased riding I'm expecting.

Like the bike, dislike the reminder that its bloody chilli over here..
Fwiw im cheering on Mrs KiwiPedelar to keep on leaving Mr in the dust even on his flash bike..
Joking aside welcome aboard, and i hope you enjoy your new bike.

Cool bike! I have a similar situation where my wife bought a Trek Allant+ 9 from Inter Bike solutions and I ride a Stromer ST2. She is often struggling to keep pace but I wonder if this is fully due to her bike Enjoy your new bike!
