Wisper Tailwind Comfort Crossbar Commuter Electric Bike Throttle – Black

Wisper have made special arrangements with the DVSA to have their bikes tested and Type Approved as 250W L1e Low Powered Mopeds.

This means that Wisper Traditional, Tailwind and Wayfarer hub motor driven bikes are now available with a fully legal twist grip or thumb throttle option, powering our bikes up to 15.5mph without the need to pedal. You do not need insurance or tax to ride these bikes and they can be ridden on all the places you can ride a standard pushbike.

Full throttle bikes are easier and safer to handle in slow moving traffic than pedal cycles and the use of the throttle improves your ability to accelerate away from traffic lights, perfect for commuting. They offer a quick, eco-friendly and cost-efficient option for city commuters at a time when everyone is looking to save on rising fuel and transport costs.

Please Note: Models will be Type Approved & certified by the DVLA to order. This process typically takes approx. 4-8 weeks from order, however should you require fast-tracked registration please contact us & we’ll assist where possible.

Wisper introduce their all new Tailwind. This Comfort variant of course adopts the core specification as the City variant, however is equipped with some handy extras to aspire adventure.

Tailwind is formed around a 6061 Alloy hand welded frame that boasts straight tubing and accompanying blade forks to achieve that simplistic, sleek aesthetic that’s proving to be immensely popular amongst all demographics currently. Although it’s electric running gear is discreet, perhaps indistinguishable to the untrained eye, Tailwind packs either a 360Wh or 540Wh tubular battery which powers its 250w high efficiency hub motor to achieve up to 50 miles from a single charge! Plenty to get you from A-B, and back to A. (Please note: 540Wh battery upgrade protrudes the frame tube. See image 2)

Adventure is bound to throw curve-balls your way quite often, especially if your route changes, so Wisper have included a set of mechanical disc brakes & a Shimano Alivio 9 speed gearing system that allows the bike & indeed the rider to adapt & thrive within it’s surrounding terrain.

Let’s talk comfort. This model features dual full mudguards, front lighting a rear mounted pannier rack with integrated rear lighting to broaden that comfort zone & cater to whatever mother nature might throw at you.

Rolling on 27.5″ Alloy double-walled wheels, wrapped in generous 2.2″ hybrid tyres.

We offer throttle electric bikes that can be tested by the DVSA and Single Vehicle Approved as an L1e in the 250W LPM (250Watt Low Powered) Moped category. This process, can take between 2 and 8 weeks. It involves taking the bike to an approved MVSA centre for Single Vehicle Approval tests. These tests ensure that our standard eBike is safe. Complying with current EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) regulations.

Once these tests are completed, we are presented with a British National Type Approval, Minister’s Approval Certificate bearing your bike’s frame number. This ensures the certificate can only be used in conjunction with specific bikes. The certificate must be kept in a safe place. Just like an MOT certificate, although we and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency will keep a record of your bike’s Type Approval.

Unlike an MOT Certificate, the Single Vehicle Approval Certificate lasts for the lifetime of the bike. This does not need to be renewed.

The use of a full throttle on an electric bicycle is legal in the UK on the condition that the bicycle has been tested, and approved by specific DVSA centres. The correct approval certification must have been issued by the DVSA. The approval certificate must show the bike’s make, model and frame number.

Without the correct certification electric bicycles with a throttle may not legally be used anywhere in the UK where the public has access. This includes private land where a footpath runs across or adjacent to the land.

Extra Information:

  • This Electric Bike will be SUPPLIED ASSEMBLED complete with charger and everything you see included.
  • Upon arrival, simple attachment of the pedals and the straightening of the handlebar will be required.
  • 360Wh 36v – 20-40
  • 540Wh 36v – 30-50 Miles*

*This will vary depending on weight of user, terrain and mode of pedal assistance used.
