The Wisper Wayfarer… a New Concept

The Wisper Wayfarer a first in the cycling industry. The Wayfarer has been designed from the wheels up as a 27.5″ eMountain Bike. Mountain bikes are comfortable, safe, strong and easy to ride. We added strong anchor points for a chain guard, kick stand, luggage racks and our purpose built extra wide, tough aluminium mudguards. We then made a second frame without the crossbar, offering riders a step-through e-bike with eMTB DNA.

The Wayfarer offers three distinct riding styles based on the same frame.

1. Wayfarer City

Perfect for commuters, shoppers and those that want leisurely rides in the country. We utilise all the anchor points, adding front and rear mudguards, a rear rack and kick stand. For comfort, low noise and low rolling resistance we fit Kenda Town and Country tyres suitable for metaled roads and well made tracks.

2. Wayfarer Adventure

Built for the more adventurous. We fit Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance, DD, RaceGuard, 27.5” x 2.25” tyres with extra safe Double Defence puncture protection that fit neatly under the existing wide Aluminium mudguards. Ready for more adventurous away from the road riding. Perfect for the hills and dales with huge grip and control in the dust, gravel, grass and mud.

3. Wayfarer Mountain*

Completely stripped back but fitted with Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance, DD, RaceGuard, 27.5” x 2.25” tyres with extra safe Double Defence puncture protection so there is nothing to get in the way of an exhilarating day in the hills. (*Not suitable for competition, extreme down-hill riding or high drops)

Mid Drive or Rear Hub Drive?

Although very different, neither one is better than the other. The choice though is very important and will change from person to person depending on where the bike is to be ridden and your riding style. IMPORTANT: 50Nm measured at the hub is almost exactly the same as 100Nm measured at the crank axle. Both motors have the same power 250W nominal.

100Nm Mid Drive puts the power through the bike gears giving the rider better hill climbing capability

50Nm Hub drives the wheel directly, it’s more efficient and does not cause wear to the gears and chain

Specify your new Wisper Wayfarer in very much the same way as you would a new car…

Choose a frame? Step through or Crossbar (Step through – product code 7. Crossbar – product code 9.)
Choose a motor? 50Nm Hub Drive or 100Nm Mid Drive (Hub drive – product code H. Mid Drive – product code M.)
Choose a battery 450Wh standard range or 700Wh long range
Choose a colour Iridium Silver is only available on Mid Drive bikes. Deep Red or Deep Blue are only available on Hub Drive bikes
Choose a style City, Adventure or Mountain (Mountain riding is not recommended with the step through frame)
Choose whether you would like a Front Rack fitted to your bike

From these six simple choices you can create your own “bespoke” Wisper Wayfarer.
