Hi Anthony   Am delighted with my new Wisper 905 bike.

(Richard is currently our most senior Wisper rider at a spritely 88 years of age!!)

I must say " thanks Anthony " for the help over the last few weeks.   My wife and I bought 2 Wisper 806fe folding bikes.  We live up the top of a valley in Nelson so it's alright going down town but coming back up - well that's another story for some of us !   I've been a recreational cyclist most of my life touring, mtb biking, commuting and really just enjoying it, but these bikes add another outlook to it.  Still get around, wind in my face and the enjoyment of cycling with a bit more ease coming back up the hill pedaling, but like you're on the flat overtaking other cyclists struggling up the hill hehe...on these little bikes ! !  So easy to fold up and put in the back of the car and head off, then unfold and away we go.  Really easy to ride and have had a lot of looks and watching people checking them out plus questions. So it's fair to say we're really enjoing them!

The Pedal4me kit is great, and goes particularly well uphill. I have used it about ten times, and travelled twice to work and back on one charge, this is 48kms total, including two, 220m climbs. I do most of the pedalling on the flat, but it makes the hill climb at the end of the day a breeze. It cruises efficiently at 25-26kph with pedal assist and light pedalling, max about 32kph, but i think that this would drain the battery fairly quickly. I now use gear 13 instead of 2 going uphill!

I generally get up hills I'd have no chance of getting up before.

^{Just to let you know I am thrilled to bits with the Wisper 705se step through. It is all you promised and more. Much more comfortable than an ordinary bike and so effortless. I find people are really interested in electric bikes. I have one chap who is desperate for more information and I will give him your email, but he will probably contact ‘Clean Green’ guys in Auckland which means you will still get the business. The bike is so strong and sturdy looking. My son was keen to have a play but when he saw the old fashioned handlebars he changed his mind. Obviously not cool enough!! I find the handle bars very easy to manage and the gears are the best I have come across. Keep up the good work.}

^{Just a short note to let you know how the bike (905 eco) is going, I have been using it for work which is about 25Kms round trip, I can get 2 trips on the one charge and it only takes 10 min longer one way than if I use my car or Motor bike. Its great fun catching up and even overtaking the "professional" bike riders, I really feel for them (yea right!) when we come to those awful hills here in Auckland and see them have to stand up on the pedals and push really hard to make any headway. I have lost 3kgs in only a few weeks, have to be careful or I will waste away to nothing. Also seen a lot more of the area around here by using the walkways/cycle tracks that I have discovered. Thanks again for advising me on the correct bike.}

^{Hi Anthony, Just thought you might like some feedback. I haven’t used the car since last Wednesday, and that has included several grocery shopping trips and a violin lesson! With the carrier and 2 pannier bags, the Wisper is pretty much the ultimate urban transport. The more I ride it, the more I want to ride it. My Wisper is the best VEHICLE I’ve owned, let alone bicycle.}

^{Just thought I would email you to say how pleased I am with the Wisper 905eco with 14ah battery. So far this year I have managed to cycle 3 to 4 times a week to work. All up it a 36 km ride to work and back home. The battery is good for a least 50km on one charge but I find it more convenient to charge it each day overnight. The joy of this bike is that it completely neutralizes the strong wind we get here in Wellington, so regardless of the wind I can cycle at a constant 30 km/h give take a km or two. Of course the biggest kick I get is riding up the Ngaio Gorge hill at the end of the day, which I do at 18 to 24 km/h depending on wind and whether there are any other cyclist grinding up the hill at 10 km/h to show off to! Despite riding an electric bike I am still getting plenty of exercise on it and in fact I am losing weigh at the moment.I am trying to talk my partner in to buying a Wisper bike as I would like us to go cycle touring on electric bikes.}

^{Thank you! I'm so enjoy cycling into Auckland city from Whenuapai [note: on a Wisper 705se] and having an electric bike just makes it more achievable (about 26km each way) getting 3 trips to work and back off 1 charge. I will experiment more now with the green button.Thanks again}
