Wisper 705torque or A2B Ferber

[LittleMo]

I'm trying to decide between these two bikes - any pros and cons you can offer? I have ridden both, but at separate places, so hard to decide which I preferred to ride,though I know I liked both. I suspect that the throttle and cadence option on the wisper may be the deciding factor because of problems I have with my ankles.

Hi Little Mo, welcome to the Forum!

Thanks for considering one if our bikes. If I can be of any assistance or you need any questions answered, please let me know.

Best regards, David.

I didn't get chance to ride a Ferber when I was looking but you can see which bike I choose!
What do you mean by the throttle on the Wisper?

The Wisper has a throttle and cadence mode as well as torque, which means that I can get the bike to move with little effort if my legs are failing me. The Ferber just has the torque mode, though it is a nice bike. Thanks for photo - too small for me to tell which bike it is!

Hi David. Wondering if it is possible to attach my Ortlieb classic panniers to the rack - doesn't look like there's enough room. Am going to take one with me to try out anyway. Thanks.

Hi Little mo, it is a bit tight, however we can get hold of a special adaptor for you and would be pleased to supply one with your new bike.

All the best David

Thanks. If that's the one I buy then would be through the ebike centre in Leicester as they have put a lot into letting me try out the bikes. How would I go about it? I sometimes use 2 panniers. Do I need 2 adapters? M

Hi you only need one. It works for both sides. Just tell Liam you spoke to me and we will arrange it between us.

Have a great weekend!

All the best, David

I was just checking that you didn't think it had a throttle as such, I haven't tried mine in cadence only mode yet, too busy dodging traffic!
My bike is a 705 Torque.

Hi Yaffa, try running the bike in level 2 and use the throttle to regulate the power.

All the best, David

Hi David. I thought Liam had asked for the pannier extension? I definitely want it, as the bike is not my 1st choice without it.
Thanks,
Mara

 

[Wisper Bikes]

Hi Mara, I can confirm that the bike is being supplied with the pannier ext.

Thanks for investing in a Wisper, please let me know how you get on?

Kind regards, David

It's a great bike - many thanks. I do find the battery indicator always drops a bar on my way up a hill to work (nearly half a mile that I used to crawl up in my bottom gear!), but then seems to recover afterwards! It has brought me back to the speed I used to cycle at, which is great. The rack works fine too.
Many thanks, Little Mo (aka Mara)
