1Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Wisper electric bicycle.
Before you use your Wisper electric bike it is important that you read this manual carefully. If there
is anything you do not understand completely, please contact us.
Please observe traffic regulations, and do not lend your bicycle to anyone who is unfamiliar with it.
In the UK the bicycle can only legally be used on the road by a person aged fourteen years or older.
We strongly advise you to always wear an approved cycle helmet when riding your bicycle. If you are
unfamiliar with cycling,we advise attending a cycle proficiency course prior to using your new bicycle
on the public highway.
When using any bicycle, it is important that you stay within safe limits; if you feel as if you are
travelling too quickly, you probably are.
Always test your brakes prior to using the bike, and remember the bike will not stop as quickly in the
wetas it would in the dry!
Before you use the bike for the first time, please make absolutely certain that it has been correctly
assembled. You can do this by 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 bars and any self assembled items have been fitted correctly.
Avoid consuming alcohol before you ride your electric bike. The use of alcohol greatly reduces
reflexes and limits your ability to ride safely.
If you need to replace your battery, please either dispose of it properly or preferably send it back to
us at Wisper or one of our distributors and we will make sure it is properly recycled.
Above all, enjoy your Wisper bike, happy cycling!

2Caring for your Wisper bike and pre-use checks
Your Wisper bike has been thoroughly tested at the factory prior to delivery, and undergone a pre-
delivery inspection by your Wisper Stockist.
It is very important that you check the bike thoroughly before its first use. Equally important are
frequent and regular spot-checks, as they will protect you and your Wisper bike.
Please read this manual carefully. Only on full understanding all of the functions of this electric
bicycle should you attempt to use it.
2.1 Before you set off for the first time
2.1.1 Check the handlebars and handlebar stem are properly tightened.
2.1.2 Check all other nuts, bolts and fixings are properly tightened.
Check all folding mechanism clamps are closed tight and locked.
2.1.3 Check brakes are functioning properly.
2.1.4 Check tyre pressures are correct and tyres are not damaged.
2.1.5 Check reflectors and lights if fitted, are functioning properly.
2.1.6 Make sure the battery is fully charged.
2.1.7 Load the battery into bicycle and turn on with the switch located at the rear right hand side
of the battery. To remove the battery, turn the battery key hold in unlocked position and
slide the battery out. Remove key from battery and keep save during operation of the bike.
2.1.8 Turn on the bike by pressing the on/off switch adjacent to the left hand grip for two
seconds. (Turn off the bike by repeating the same process).

The bike will be ready to ride and the LCD will activate showing battery state, assist level,
time, trip and speed. Exerting pressure on the pedals or twisting the throttle will now
activate the motor.
IMPORTANT: Always start off in level 1 or 2 assistance to avoid the possibility of loss of
control. When you are moving forward then you can change to higher levels of assistance.
2.1.9 To avoid unplanned acceleration, always make sure that the LCD assist level is set to0 when
mounting, dismounting and turn the bike off when leaving it unattended.
To set the assist levels, toggle with the + and –buttons (see fig 1)
2.1.10 For full information regarding the LCD display please refer to separate hand book available
from Amps Electric Bikes or your retailer.
2.1.11 Remember to validate your warranty by visiting www.wisperbikes.com/mywarranty and
filling in your details.
2.2 Before each use
It is important you check your bike prior to each time you use it.Checks should include the following:
(If you do find any damage or problems, do not use the bike until the problem has been solved or
you have had the faulty item checked by an electric bike mechanic or your retailer).
2.2.1 Check the tyres for any visible damage.
2.2.2 Check the tyre pressures.
2.2.3 Check for any loose nuts, bolts or fixings.Check all folding mechanism clamps are
closed tight and locked.
2.2.4 Check the brake functions.
2.2.5 Check the electronic functions.
2.2.6 Check the reflectors are in place and the lights are working.

2.2.7 Check the battery for any visible signs of damage.
2.3 Battery care
2.3.1 Your Wisper bike comes with a high quality lithium ion battery. All lithium batteries need to
be looked after to ensure years of full use. The latest Wisper 575Wh batteries come with
new technology installed to assist you in looking after your battery and will be dealt with
separately. Following these easy steps will ensure the long life of your battery
2.3.2 Recharge your battery after every use if possible.Keeping your battery charged extends its
life and your bike is always ready to go.
2.3.3 You do not have to “condition” your battery by charging and discharging before it’s first use.
This was the case with old lithium ion technology but is not necessary on modern batteries
2.3.4 Never leave your battery completely discharged for more than 24 hours. Voltage dropping
below minimum for any length of time will cause serious damage to your battery cells. *
2.3.5 Recharge your battery every month even if you are not using the bike. Most lithium Ion
batteries will continue to discharge even when the bike and battery are turned off (see
above). If your battery falls below minimum Voltage, it may not be recoverable. *
2.3.6 Do not expose the bicycle or battery pack to fire, heat sources, acid or alkaline substances.
2.3.7 When leaving your bicycle during hot weather, always leave in a shaded well ventilated area.
2.3.8 For best results, always recharge and store the battery at room temperature.
2.3.9 Before unloading the battery, make sure it is turned off and unload the battery using its
handle.
2.3.10 Further information on user responsibilities and battery maintenance are included in the
warranty section of this manual.
* The most common cause of battery failure the owner not keeping to points 4 and 5 above.
This is the most common reason for customers to need to replace batteries. This is
particularly noticeable in the spring when customers are using their bike for the first time in
the new year. We get most calls regarding failing batteries during this period.
IMPORTANT
If your battery is damaged due to your leaving it discharged, or not recharging when
advisedas per this manual your battery is not covered by our warranty.
Battery safety
2.3.11 i. Never leave a battery connected to the charger or mains power over-night.
ii. Never recharge a battery outside, in damp conditions or in temperatures less then 0
degrees centigrade.

iii. Never open a battery case, try and fix the battery or give it to any one other
than a registered Wisper Stockist for maintenance. (Failure to comply will void the
warranty)
iv. If a battery is,or appears to be damaged or overheating for any reason, do not use the
bike and immediately return the battery to your retailer for advice and a safety check.
IMPORTANT
Ignoring any of the safety rules above could cause serious injury or fire.
2.3.12 Wisper 575Wh Lithium Batteries
Bikes fitted with the latest Wisper long range batteries (optional) have extra featuresto help
keep it in good health.
i. “Deep sleep” or “hibernation” mode.
Once recharged the new Wisper 575Wh battery does not need recharging for up to 6
months over the winter. We recommend the battery is recharged every 6 months. To put
the battery into deep sleep mode simply press the LED button on the battery for 10
seconds. If the battery is below 29V, deep sleep will be activated automatically after
24 hours of non-use. The battery will automatically wake up when you turn your bike
back on.
ii. Remote Control Service System (RCSS)
Using the very latest technology we can connect the new Wisper 575Wh battery and
charger system directly to the battery manufacturer’s technical department’s computer.
Software updates will be uploaded to the battery and charger and system diagnostics will
take place. The battery manufacturer will make recommendations to resolve any issues.
In some cases, fixes can be made remotely. All Wisper Stockists will be able to check the
condition of both battery and charger. Information such as the charging history, battery
capacity, etc. will be available on screen.
iii. Phone Charger
The socket on the battery used for connection to the RCSS can also be used to charge
a mobile phone.
2.4 Recharging your battery
2.4.1 Before charging, make sure the charger is turned off and connect your battery to the charger
at the charging socket. Plug the charger into a mains socket and turn on the mains socket.
A red lamp will light up on the charger indicate the battery is charging. When thered light
turns green, the battery is fully charged. To optimize battery life, leave the charger
connected for a further hour and then turn off the charger and disconnect it from the
mains after charging. Always disconnect the charger from the mains before disconnecting
the charger from the battery. It is possible that the battery will take up to twelve hours to
charge on the first three charges.
