August 14, 20223 yr We have two Wisper 806 torque bikes, when I was in the Lake District the power on hills even on level 5 seemed lacking. When I used the throttle I got an additional surge of power. This was inspite of pedalling hard having used lower gears. These bikes do not appear to be as powerful as our front hub woosh torque kits fitted to our Thorne road bikes. These have no throttle but give a lot of power when you pedal hard. Should these two systems have similar power?

Should these two systems have similar power? Sounds like one for Wisper and Woosh! The motors will have identical 'continuous rated power', that wonderfully woolly parameter, but may have different maximum torque capability and maximum design rpm. That would be noticeable on steeper hills. Were you on the major passes, or just normal Lake District undulations?
