Introduction
T ank for c oosing a Wisper electric bicycle.
By making t e decision to use an electric bike you are elping to safeguard our
environment by saving our planet’s precious resources and reducing carbon pollution.
Before you use your Wisper bike it is important t at you read t is manual carefully. If
t ere is anyt ing you do not understand completely please contact your retailer.
Please observe traffic regulations, and don’t lend your bicycle to anyone w o is
unfamiliar wit it. T e bicycle can only legally be used on t e road by a person aged 14
years or older.
We strongly advise you to always wear a cycle elmet w en using your bicycle and if you
are unfamiliar wit cycling to attend a cycle proficiency course prior to using it. Your
Wisper Works 806fe is not toy and s ould be considered a serious mode of transport.
As wit all bicycles it is important t at you stay wit in safe limits, if you feel as if you are
traveling too quickly for t e road conditions you probably are, so slow down. Hig speed
will increase forces in t e case of an accident and increase t e possibility of injury.
Test your brakes prior to using t e bike every time you use it and remember t e bike will
not stop as quickly in wet or icy conditions as it would on a dry road.
Before you use t e bike for t e first time you must make absolutely certain t at it as
been correctly built. You can do t is by eit er taking it to your nearest cycle engineer or
if you are proficient in cycle mec anics inspecting it yourself. In particular you must
make sure t at t e pedals, saddle, andle bars and any self assembly items ave been
correctly fitted.
NEVER drink alco ol and ride your electric bike. T e use of alco ol greatly reduces
reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely. Even a very small amount of alco ol will
limit your ability to be safe on t e road.
W en you need to replace your battery please eit er dispose of it properly or preferably
send it back to us or your supplier and we will make sure it is properly recycled.
Happy cycling!

14.2 T e brakes on your Wisper bike are fitted wit cut outs w ic are required by
law. T is means t at w en you pull on eit er t e back or front brake lever t e
motor immediately stops working.
14.3 Full details of ow to adjust and maintain your brakes:
Once a mont , inspect brake pads for wear. If t e grooves in t e braking
surface are less t an 2 mm deep, replace t e pads.
V brake:
14.3.1. Use 5mm Allen key to loosen bolt A,
t en take t e cable out. Use 5mm Allen
key to loosen bolts C (rig t & left), t en
take t e spacers and was ers out
14.3.2. Install new brake pads, t en wit bot
pads pressed against t e w eel rim,
ensure t at distance B (in t e diagram)
does not exceed 65mm. To decrease
distance B, exc ange wide & narrow
spacers on eac brake pad. Before finally
tig tening brake pads, make sure t ey are aligned correctly on t e rim,
and t ere is a gap of 1mm between t e top of t e rim and t e top of t e
pad. Hold eac pad against t e rim (one at a time) & tig ten bolt C.
Finally tig ten to 6-8N.M
14.3.3. Insert cable into bolt A, slot cable guide pipe into older and fit
protector over t e guide pipe end. Set cable in bolt A so t at combined
pad/rim clearance (t e gaps from left pad to left rim surface and from
rig t pad to rig t rim surface) is 2mm, t en tig ten “A” bolt. Finally
tig ten to 6-8N.M.
Balance brake arms by turning screw D. Depress brake lever a few times
w ile c ecking to see t at tension is equal for bot arms. Pad/rim
contact s ould occur at t e same time eac side. Clearance s ould be
1mm eac side. Do not set tensions too ig .
14.3.4. Re adjusts pads so t ey are properly aligned (see step 2), as tension
adjustment will probably ave altered t e original pad alignment.
14.3.5. Installing brake pads.
14.3.5.1. Position eac pad on an opposite side of t e older so t at
two breaking surfaces are facing eac ot er.
