Whisper bikes. On hire

[Kernow]

I’ve seen a few of these out locally never heard of them before a bit unusual as they only seem to make a carbon frame New eMTB - Wisper Bikes
Turns out they are on hire , There’s a little bike hire at the farm shop on the edge of our village they are renting out these quite nice looking whisper ebikes .
Anyone visiting this area who wants to Ride our local trails it’s an option , always happy to show you around .
I don’t know the bike hire owner so Iam not advertising , it’s just an option if you are in the area without your bike and want to ride some great trails or hire what looks a fairly well sorted ebike .

I've had dealings with Wisper from years ago when I had one of the 905se traditional style ebikes. Small UK company good to deal with, very helpful. I believe they have a super light roadie ebike in development as well

looks a pretty sorted 150mm trail bike.
wonder what the geometry's like

would be good for someone on holiday who couldn't take their bike with them. Any chance of finding out what they charge or maybe a website? Also , which part of Cornwall are they and you in?

That’s what I was thinking , I may go and see them and perhaps offer a bit of guiding because the trails up here aren’t easy to find . Iam on Bodmin moor , the village is Pensilva just below caradon hill .
Just Google’s them here’s a link to the website Cornish Cycle hire – cycle hire for Cornwall
There’s a video there but it’s only showing some of old disused railway tracks none of the decents etc And one of the lake which has a cyckeceay around it . I guess to be fair they may not be encouraging serious off road use , but I don’t think they know about the decent trails iether .
It an area that’s generally overlooked by the typical holiday makers Cornwall tends to get thankfully

They had a newer version on display at Eurobike, with an integrated 630wh battery IIRC, but no sign of it yet on their Website - I think it was in one of @Rob Hancill videos when he was there.

Integrated battery , no use to me , or carbon for that matter

The geometry chart appears to have gone from the website, but from what I can remember it wasn't particularly progressive. Think '18 Levo rather than '19 Levo.

Yeah I did speak to them at Eurobike. I remember the bike being really good value and they were talking about 630wh battery back then, but was a prototype model they had on display if I remember correctly.

 

[Doomanic]

RRP is £5799 with the 504Wh battery, so not horrendously expensive but not exactly cheap either.

I love this video and how that wee bloke from Lapierre does so well managing to pretend he doesn't know what a big deal Rob from "Rob rides emtb" is

Thanks Kernow. They have spent decent money on the bikes so should expect them to be used on serious trails, you would have thought. As you say, it’s just knowing where the trails are.
Maybe you should do a mini forum rideout in the summer. I think folks would like the idea of coming down for the weekend and riding something different .

That bike geometry and shape look a lot like a Bulls FS3 with smaller battery.

 

[R120]

I suspect the frame is form or a variant of the Light Carbon OEM frame, which is used by quite a few brands (and nothing wrong with that)
