Get the Wisper gear that suits your commute. Go for a Wisper bike, a Wisper bike and accessories, or just accessories – it’s your choice. With Cyclescheme, you can
buy your new Wisper eBike online and have it delivered to a retailer of your choice! Choose your favourite
eBike and accessories, and put together your own perfect commuter package up to the value of £1,000. Don’t forget – with Cyclescheme you can shop from sale
at Wisper Bikes, making your money go even further.
Once you have decided which Wisper bike and accessories you require, you just need to request your certificate from Cyclescheme here and let them know you’re ready to get your new bike! Once it’s been approved your certificate will be issued via email to you ready for you to get your Cyclescheme package
It’s time to trade your certificate for your Cyclescheme package. Simply fill your shopping basket with the items you want – your new Wisper eBike and accessories – and redeem the certificate at checkout. The value of the certificate will be deducted from the total cart balance. This is when your Hire Agreement kicks in and you start making impressive tax savings (at least 25%!). For the next 12 months, you’ll pay a fixed amount from your salary every time you’re paid. This is taken from your pre-tax salary and reduces the amount of Income Tax and National Insurance you pay resulting in great savings. For standard rate payers this is 25%, or for higher rate 42%.
After 12 months, we transfer ownership to you for a small one-off fee. If your Cyclescheme package was under £500 you’ll pay just 3% of the original value, or for packages over £500 you’ll pay just 7%. So if you had a package worth £1,000 you’ll pay just £70. And that’s all you need to do!
For the next 36 months, your Cyclescheme package will remain ‘hired’ with no more payday payments to make. At the end of this time, ownership of your package will automatically transfer to you.

I like the build quality, no rattles whatsoever, the gear changes are simple and precise, the performance from the motor is excellent, when folded you won’t want to carry it far but if like me you only go as far a the car boot, then fine. At the age of 71, cycling is now more fun than when I was was a teenager…. I say get a Wisper, you won’t be disappointed.

My first electric bike and over the moon with it. Very easy to manoeuvre. I live at the top of a steep hill which was horrendous on my pedal bike but now feels as if i’m cycling on a flat road.
Yvonne
Great design, the flexibility available on power packs make the 806 an ideal companion to our motorhome. Great to see a British Company leading the way
Selwyn Cooper
A big thank you to Wisper bikes for their excellent support in buying the exceptional Wildcat Carbon e bike. It’s a dream to look at and ride.
Many thanks

easy to adjust from a normal bike to the EBike with wisper. I have been highly delighted with the performance of this bike, I am 67 yrs old and found the battery assistance really helpful although I only use this function occasionally. With the additional throttle on the handlebars I can whizz up steepish hills without further injury to my joints. I have only had my Wisper bike for 3 weeks but would recommend it if you are thinking of buying an EBike. Also a big thank you to the guys in Frodsham where I purchased the bike who took the time to explain all the functions to me in detail.
Margaret Barrat
Haven’t cycled for years mainly because we live on a steep hill and I could’t face the cycle home. Also my legs are quite weak after breaking my leg in an accident. With my new bike I raced up the hill no problem and can easily keep up with my husband! It’s early days but so far I LOVE my bike! It has greatly restored my confidence, and I am looking forward to getting fitter as well as having fun!
Lynn Churches
Great bike to ride either with or without assistance. The electric motor makes all the difference to enjoying cycling for someone of older years, and weaker knees than in my youth. Multiple levels of assistance mean you can choose how much help you want from the bike depending on the gradient, or how tired you are. Gear change easy, comfortable saddle, and the bike looks good.

I’ve moved to the Wisper 705 Torque model from a different brand. I’ve been riding it for about 10 days and it’s been excellent in nearly every aspect. There were a few minor teething issues but all were resolved with support from my local dealer as well as from Wisper.
Queries were responded to promptly and it’s a great bike.
