Might be cheaper to fix your Wisper...

No gears, doesn't look inspiring ~ I'd try and sort out the wisper, mine is that old and still going strong albeit with a recelled battery.

Note:

"Electric bike may arrive with slight blemishes or minor scratches from transit. We cannot replace bikes for this reason. Please be aware of this before purchase."

Possibly returned bikes?

hi, thanks for the replies. my wisper battery is a mess I dont think it can be fixed, when i try and charge it, it makes a buzzing noise & doesnt charge,its also the old kettle plug type...

There's no reason for an electric bike to bite the dust, unless it meets some disaster, like you accidentally drove a truck over it.

All the electrics have moved on substantially since you bought your Wisper, but bikes have hardly changed. You can therefore take any virtually any old electric bike and upgrade the electrics to modern standards. A professional battery re-cell by Insat will cost about £250. A modern sinewave controller with LCD is about £70 - £110. A motor wheel is about £150.

What's wrong with your Wisper?

Just a thought but we do have a few 906Classics in stock, we really do need to sell them off. We would be pleased to accept £960 plus £30 delivery. The bikes are brand new, with new 16Ah batteries they used to retail at £1699. We would give a 6 month warranty, we have three I think. I seriously good bike and great bargain!
