Wisper 705 / 905 SE 2018 Model
December 2018 2nd edition
We strongly recommend that you read this entire manual before using your Wisper bike
Introduction
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 traveling 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 wet as 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, handlebars, 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!
Amps Electric Bikes Ltd
Caring for your Wisper bike and pre-use checks
Your Wisper bike has been thoroughly tested at the factory prior to delivery
and has undergone a redelivery 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.
2.1.3 Check brakes are functioning properly.
2.1.4 Check tire pressures are correct and tires 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 the bicycle and turn it on with the switch located
at the rear right-hand side of the battery. To remove the battery turn the
battery key hold in the unlocked position and slide the battery out. Remove
key from the battery and keep safe 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. Turning the pedals for more than ¼
of a revolution or twisting the throttle will now activate the motor.
2.1.9 To avoid unplanned acceleration, always make sure that the LCD assist
level is set to 0 when mounting, dismounting, and turning the bike off when
leaving it unattended.
To set the assist levels, toggle with the up and down arrow buttons (see fig
- 2.1.10 For full information regarding the LCD display please refer to a
separate handbook available from Amps Electric Bikes or your retailer.
2.1.11 Remember to validate your warranty by visiting https://wisperbikes.com/support/registeryour-e-bike/ 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 etailer).
2.2.1 Check the tires for any visible damage.
2.2.2 Check the tire pressures.
2.2.3 Check for any loose nuts, bolts, or fixings.
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.
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 its 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 the 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 it 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 is included in the warranty section of this manual.
- The most common cause of battery failure is 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 bikes 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 you leaving it discharged, or not recharging when advised as 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 overnight.
ii. Never recharge a battery outside, in damp conditions, or in temperatures less than 0 degrees centigrade.
iii. Never open a battery case, try and fix the battery or give it to anyone 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.
2.4 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 and indicate the battery is charging. When the red 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.
2.4.2 When charging the battery, always do so in a well-ventilated area.
2.4.3 Do not leave the charger connected to the mains when not in use.
2.5 Water
2.5.1 Your electric bicycle is rain and splash-proof and can be used in all weathers.

Other general torque settings depend on the thread size. M4: 2.5-4.0N.m, M5:
4.0-6.0N.m, M6: 6.0-7.5N.m.
2.6.3 Your bike has a rear derailleur that will automatically tension your
chain. However, if the chain becomes loose or frequently comes off the front
chainwheel, please seek advice from your Wisper dealer.
2.6.4 Brake levers should lock the wheels when compressed halfway between
their open position and touching the handlebars.
2.6.5 Warning: Handlebar hand grips or tube end plugs should be replaced if
damaged, as bare tube ends can cause injury.
2.6.6 Front and rear brake pads must be replaced if the pad material wears to
less than 1mm.
IMPORTANT! braking distances increase on wet or icy roads.
2.6.7 Lubrication:
6.7.1. Lubricate all pivot points on the derailleur and chain with light oil
or chain lube on a regular basis.

Controls and equipment
In this section, the functions and any specific maintenance needed on all the
main controls and ancillary equipment are described.
3.1 Battery on/off switch and lock
3.1.1 Your Wisper bike is supplied with two identical keys. The key locks the
battery on the bike.
3.1.2 The battery is connected to the electrical system of the bike
automatically when you slide the battery into the rack. To turn on the bike’s
electrical system, press 1 on the switch located on the right-hand side at the
rear of the battery. To turn off the power, press 0.
3.1.3 When the battery has been turned on, the bike is now ready for use. The
on/off button (the top button c- on the handlebar control) isolates the power
from the bike.
When the on/off button is pressed for 3 seconds the LCD symbols will become
visible. When the on/off button is pushed again for 3 seconds, the LCD symbols
will disappear – you have turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you
will not get any assistance from the battery and motor and the bike is
effectively an unpowered pushbike.
3.1.4 To lock the battery into the bike frame, slide the battery into the
battery holder in the rack until you hear a click. To unlock the battery, turn
the key fully anticlockwise and hold it in this position whilst siding the
battery out.
3.1.5 The battery can be charged either on or off the bike.
3.2 The ON/OFF button and Light button
3.2.1 To turn the power on so the pedelec system is operational, simply press
the on/off button (marked with a-c-) on the handle bar control for 3 seconds –
the LCD symbols will become visible showing the power is on. When the on/off
button is pushed again for 3 seconds and the LCD symbols become invisible you
have turned the bike “off”. When the bike is “off” you will not get any
assistance from the battery and motor and the bike is effectively an unpowered
pushbike. If the bike is left for ten minutes without being ridden, the bike
will automatically turn off. The battery capacity indicator lights provide an
indication of the battery capacity remaining with four bars indicating the
battery is at full capacity. The display also incorporates a diagnostic
function as described above.
3.2.2 The LIGHT button is the + button found under the on/off button. If you
press and hold down for 3 seconds when the bike’s power is on, the LED
headlight and rear light will illuminate.
The LCD display will also become backlit. Press it again for 3 seconds to
switch off the lights.
The power for the lights comes from the bike battery, but due to the low power
consumption of the LED lights, you will not noticeably reduce your range.
IMPORTANT
Do not press the – (minus) button to turn off the lights as this will activate
the walk along with mode and the bike will start to move forward.
3.3 The Throttle
3.3.1 The twist grip throttle can be found on the left-hand side of the
handlebars. Further details of the operation are provided below. The twist and
go throttle has two functions:
i. To power the bike sufficiently to help when walking the bike to a maximum
of 4mph 6km/h. This can also be achieved by pushing the – button for 3 seconds
and holding.
ii, To increase the power to the motor when on a level road. The throttle
takes the bike out of torque sensor mode. Your range will decrease if you use
this option.
3.4 Battery capacity meter, riding style, and affect on a range
3.5.1 The range of the bike (distance covered between recharging of the
battery) is greatly influenced by the level of assistance selected, the amount
of pedal assistance provided by the rider, and the use of the throttle.
3.5.2 If a high level of assist is selected, then the range of the bike will
be reduced compared to using a lower level of assist.
3.5.3 The Wisper cadence sensor system detects the speed at which the pedal
cranks are turning and the This information is fed into an onboard computer
(controller) to give the rider the most natural riding experience possible.
3.5.4 The optimum range is achieved when the rider pedal effort is maximized,
and an ideal situation is for the rider to aim to match the power being
provided by the bike on an equal basis.
3.5.5 The battery capacity indicator is provided to give an approximation of
the battery capacity remaining. Each bar on the LCD approximates a ¼ of the
capacity. However, this indicator relies on sensing battery voltage that will
rise and fall depending on the amount of power being demanded at any given
time, ambient temperatures, etc, hence the meter should only be used for
indication purposes.
3.5.6 The battery capacity indicator, built into the top of the battery (four
LEDs) provides a similar indication and operates on the same principle.
3.5.7 Under heavy power situations (full throttle or high levels of assist)
the battery voltage will temporarily dip resulting in the capacity meter
showing a lower level of charge. When the heavy power usage is reduced, the
capacity meter will rise again as the battery naturally recovers its voltage.
3.5.8 During the discharge period of the battery, the voltage will drop from
an initial voltage of nearly 42 Volts to a minimum of 31.5 Volts. The bulk of
the discharge period will be in the range of 38 to 36 Volts which provides the
optimum performance for the bicycle. Hence due to this wide range in voltage,
the performance of the bike will vary depending on the state of charge of the
battery. To achieve the best possible performance, it is better to start a
journey with a fully charged battery and recharge it at the end of each
journey.
3.5 Brakes
3.6.1 Disc brakes are fitted to the front and rear wheels of the bicycle. Disc
brakes offer several advantages over traditional rim brakes, including better
braking in wet, muddy or other adverse conditions and less braking power fade
over extended downhill braking.
3.6.2 Details of how to adjust and maintain your brakes are as follows:
3.6.3 Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. If they have reached the wear
limit of 1mm, replace them immediately.
3.6.4 Front brake, remove the caliper from the fork leg, complete with the
mount adapter by removing the two 6mm Allen caliper fixing screws. For the
rear brake, remove the caliper by removing the two 6mm Allen caliper fixing
screws on the bike frame. The pads can then be removed by unscrewing and
removing the pad retaining screw (which passes through the tabs of the brake
pads) using a 3mm Allen wrench. Then lift the pads complete with the spring
out of the rotor slot in the caliper body.
Warning! Do not loosen any other screws on the caliper.
3.6.5 To refit the pads, hold the pads complete with spring as an assembly and
insert them into the caliper slot with the metal backing towards the pistons.
Refit the pad retaining screw ensuring it passes through the holes in the pad
tabs and through the hole in the spring and tightens to 3– 5 N.m. Refit the
caliper loosely using the two Allen screws, apply the brake lever and tighten
securely to 6 to 8 Nm whilst continuing to apply the brake lever. ( N.B.
use of a thread locking compound is recommended on the caliper fixing screws).
Warning: If you are unsure about any part of the brake installation
process you should seek advice from a Wisper service center or a qualified
mechanic.
Caution: The pads and rotor must be kept clean and free from oil or
grease-based contamination. If the pads become contaminated you must discard
them and replace them
with a new set. A contaminated disc should be cleaned with a proprietary brake
cleaning solution.
3.6 Stem and handlebar clamp 905 and 705
3.7.1 Your bike has been fitted with an adjustable handlebar and stem clamp
that allows you to change the angle and height of the bars to find the most
comfortable riding position.
3.7.2 The handlebars can be adjusted before you use the bike by slackening the
four clamp bolts (shown in the picture below) using a 4mm Allen key. Once a
comfortable position is achieved, securely tighten the four clamp bolts
evenly, ensuring an even gap is left between the two halves of the clamp
housing, and the serrations on the two halves of the clamp mate correctly with
the fixed part of the stem. Tighten the four bolts to a torque setting of 12Nm
3.7.3 To alter the rake of the handlebars, slacken the central Allen screw in
the side of the stem and rotate the stem up or down until the desired position
is obtained. Retighten the Allen screw securely to 17-18.5 Nm.
3.7.4 The handlebars can be adjusted before you use the bike by sliding the
lock button marked with a white arrow towards the back of the bike. When
unlocked, lift the lever and adjust to the riding position that suits you
best.
3.7 The connectors
3.8.1 All electronic components have individual connectors, this allows for
the easy removal for diagnosis, repair, or replacement of any of the
electronic parts. The connectors, being a push-fit are simple to disconnect or
reconnect and click into position when fully engaged. Each connector has a
different number of pins and an alignment arrow, so it is important to ensure
the connectors are only mated in their original positions, damage may occur to
the pins if this procedure is not followed.
3.8 Quick release saddle height adjustment
3.10.1 Your Wisper bike has been fitted with a quick-release saddle post
fitting to facilitate the movement of the saddle height.
3.10.2 It is important that the knurled nut on the fitting is tightened so the
post will not move in the bike tube. Make this adjustment with the quick
release lever in the open position.
3.10.3 Adjust the seat to the correct height and close the lever firmly. When
you sit on the saddle there should be no vertical movement at all in the
saddle post beyond the seat post suspension movement. Never apply grease to
the saddle post.
3.9 Rims and spokes
3.11.1 It is essential to have your spokes checked and tightened after 300
miles. This is a free service provided by your supplier. If this service has
not been undertaken at the correct time, this may cause damage to the wheels
and spokes that will not be covered under our Warranty.
3.10 Chain and drive wheel removal
3.12.1 To completely remove the rear wheel, it is necessary to disconnect the
main motor cable connecting the motor to the bicycle electrical system. This
operation is best achieved by turning the bicycle upside down.
3.12.2 Locate the motor cable where it emerges from the center of the wheel
axle on the left-hand side of the bicycle, slide back the top hat protector to
locate the wheel nut.
3.12.3 Trace the route of the motor cable along the rear stays and locate the
quick-release motor cable connector shown in the image above. Disconnect the
two halves of the connector, taking care not to strain the cables, and unclip
the motor cable from the frame. Note the alignment marks on the two halves of
the connector.
3.12.5 Loosen the two large motor axle nuts and remove the nut from the right-
hand side, taking care to note the position of any tab washers fitted. Unscrew
the left-hand nut as far as is possible towards the cable exit from the motor
axle, being careful not to damage the cable.
3.12.6 Lift the wheel from the frame dropouts, being careful not to snag or
strain the motor cable.
3.12.7 Installation is the reverse of the above. Take care to locate the tab
washers correctly in the drop-out slots and tighten the axle nuts to the
torque specified in the manual. Reconnect the two halves of the quick release
connectors, taking care to ensure the pins and alignment arrows align
correctly. Re-clip the cable to the frame, ensuring that the cable cannot rub
against the tire and that the cable exits in a downwards direction from the
axle to avoid water ingress into the motor. Refit the rubber top hat cover.
Because the bicycle has a rear derailleur, the chain will be automatically
adjusted.
3.11 Derailleur and gear change
3.13.1 Full details on how to adjust and maintain your derailleur can be found
in the Shimano manual.
If the difficulty is experienced with changing gear after the initial
operation of the bicycle, it is likely that some cable stretch will have
occurred in the gear change cable. To compensate for this turn the knurled
adjuster shown in the center left-hand side of the image below by pulling it
away from the outer cable stop in the direction of the cable towards the rear
of the bicycle and turning it ½ turn anticlockwise when viewed from the rear.
This will compensate for the cable stretch. If necessary, repeat the operation
again until smooth gear selection is obtained, or return your bicycle to your
Wisper dealer for further adjustment.
3.13.2 To change gear, use the 7-speed rapid-fire gear shifter located on the right side of the handlebar. The two levers located underneath the shifter can be pulled and pushed to select the gears over the range of 1 to 8.

4.1 Battery maintenance and user responsibilities
4.1.1 Your Wisper bike is equipped with a powerful, high-quality lithium-ion
battery. Lithium-ion is recognized as being the very best type of battery for
electric bicycle use.
4.1.2 All lithium-ion batteries must be well cared for to optimize useful life
and range. It is the responsibility of the bike owner/operator to ensure the
battery is looked after properly.
Incorrect use or storage of your battery may cause damage and void your
warranty.
4.1.3 It is not unusual for a well-maintained battery to last for several
years. Though your bike will feel less powerful as the battery gets older, and
the range will diminish, you can continue using the battery for many years to
come.
A key point to remember when choosing a battery is to check the battery
capacity (V x Ah = Wh the battery’s capacity) i.e.16Ah x 36V = 576Wh. When
such a battery loses 30% of its capacity, it will still have nearly 400Wh
left, still more than a new 36V 10Ah (378Wh) battery. Choosing a larger
battery not only gives you more power and range but is often more economical
in the long term.
4.1.4 The key to having a long-lasting battery is to look after it. This means
never leaving your battery fully discharged and always conditioning the
battery when not in use i.e. in the winter.
4.1.5 If a battery is not cared for as per our instructions, it will not reach
its optimum performance and may not be covered by our warranty.
We reserve the right to check batteries claimed under warranty to ensure they
have been maintained as per our instructions.
