Wisper 806 throttle

[MM12345]

Hi, I'm looking at buying my first e-bike, possibly a Wisper 806, and would like to know if it's possible to modify so that I can use a throttle to ride at 15mph without pedalling?

This is due to muscular/mobility issues, I can pedal some way but not all the time so might need to have the ability to move along without pedalling.

Thanks

If general a new bike then no as they aren't legal to sell if configured so, the owner is often seen posting replies regarding his brand on here. David will likely pick this up at some stage and reply.
But no isn't the end of it, he has and does have /had bikes registered to comply with the law that allows full throttle, the bike to be used has to have a simple test at testing station and a certificate to say that the bike conforms to regulations and is then legally allowed on the road. The test adds a little more (not sure was about exactly but about £199 rings a bell )to the bike price and a certificate then is yours to prove it's legality, it is then treated as a normal pedelec incurring no other licencing, so no helmet, number plate or insurance is required.
Your best bet is to contact Wisper direct at their head office in 7oaks.

Thanks for the reply. I know they can't be sold in that way so I was after knowing if there is any way to modify it myself once I'd bought the standard bike.

Have a word with Woosh or Wisper. There's probably something they can do. Some bikes are or can be supplied with a 6km/hr throttle, which is legal. It's normally a simple job to change a setting so that it works full range if you can find out how. If you're going to do that, don't hand over any money until you know how.

Most Chinese bikes have a pedal rotation sensor as opposed to a torque sensor. These only require you to turn the pedals to get power. You adjust the power separately. Therefore, you can slowly air pedal while the motor works. The only effort you need is in starting off, but if you have a bike with a 6km/hr throttle, it'll cover that.

Another option if you're handy with the spanners is to fit an ebike kit to a normal one, then you can get all the power you want how you want.

All our bikes have a throttle that add full assistance when the pedals are turning forward. This would probably be enough?

All the best, David

That's a clever I've seen that on other bikes where you have a throttle and so long as your legs go round a bit it actually does 99% of the work for you but tbh momentum does it all for you really and you're barely doing more than letting them go round.

I completely agree Jef as long as the rider has full rotation, in many cases it's not possible to keep that full rotation going for long, if at all.

All the best, David
