Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Wisper electric icycle. By making the decision to use an
electric ike you are helping to safeguard our environment y saving our planet’s
precious resources and reducing car on pollution.
Before you use your Wisper ike it is important that you read this manual carefully. If
there is anything you do not understand completely please contact us or your retailer.
Please o serve traffic regulations, and don’t lend your icycle to anyone who is
unfamiliar with it. The icycle can only legally e used on the road y a person aged 14
years or older.
We strongly advise you to always wear a cycle helmet when using your icycle and if
you are unfamiliar with cycling to attend a cycle proficiency course prior to using it. Your
Wisper Works 905Se City is not a toy and should e considered a serious mode of
transport.
As with all icycles it is important that you stay within safe limits, if you feel as if you are
traveling too quickly for the road conditions you pro a ly are so slow down.
Test your brakes prior to using the bike every time you use it and remember the bike
will not stop as quickly in wet or icy conditions as it would on a dry road.
Frequently check your tyre pressures. They should e 60 psi or 4.1 ar. Low tyre
pressures will result in damage to the tyres and will massively reduce your range.
Before you use the ike for the first time you must make a solutely certain that it has
een correctly uilt. You can do this y either taking it to your nearest cycle engineer or
if you are proficient in cycle mechanics inspecting it yourself. In particular you must
make sure that the pedals, saddle, handle ars and any self assem ly items have een
correctly fitted.
N V R drink alcohol and ride your electric bike. The use of alcohol greatly reduces
reflexes and limits your a ility to ride safely. Even a very small amount of alcohol will
limit your a ility to e safe on the road.
When you need to replace your attery please either dispose of it properly or prefera ly
send it ack to us or your retailer and we will make sure it is properly recycled.
Happy cycling!

Part 2 Controls and quipment
In this section we will descri e the functions and any specific maintenance needed on all

9 Battery on off and attery lock
9.1 Your Wisper ike has 1 set of 2 keys. The key for turns the attery on/off and
locks the attery in the ike. Please keep a careful note of the key num ers as
we cannot replace them without these num ers should they ecome mislaid.
9.2 On ikes uilt after April 2009 the attery is connected to the electrical system
of the ike automatically when you slide the attery into the frame. Pre April
2009 ikes need to e connected via a ca le that plugs into the side of the
attery. To turn on the ikes electrical system, turn the key in the attery
clockwise, to turn off the power turn the key anti clockwise.

the ike is “on” you will see the attery power lights illuminate a ove the red
utton. When the ike is “off the lights are not illuminated. When the ike is
“off” you will not get any assistance from the attery and motor and the ike is
effectively an unpowered push ike. Press the red utton to toggle etween
“on” and “off”
9.4 To lock the attery into the ike frame turn the key clockwise to unlock turn the

9.6 To remove the attery turn off the power y turning the key to position “OFF”, If
your attery has a socket in its side (pre April 2009) disconnect the plug and
socket. If your ike is fitted with a connector at its ase (after April 2009) this is
not necessary. Remove the seat post. Using the handle on top of the attery lift
the attery out.
9.7 To replace the attery reverse the procedure for removing it.
On the handle bars
10 The red utton
10.1 When the red utton is pushed and the lights go out you have turned the ike

11 The green utton (not USA, Canada and some European countries)
11.1 The green utton (when fitted) can e found on the left hand side of the handle
ars. The green utton delimits the motor power and lets the rider ride the ike
a ove 25kph (15mph) with assistance from the motor to a out 30kph (19mph).
The green utton should only e used on private land and never on the pu lic
highway.
IMPORTANT WARNING
The use of the green button on the public highway in many countries turns the bike
into a moped and any rider operating the green button on the public highway would
render themselves open to prosecution, fines, penalty points and loss of driving
license. It is important that you verify the legality of the green button in your region, if
it is not legal do not use the bike and we will remove it for you free of charge.
