A full-throttle electric bike allows you to ride at speeds of up to 15.5 mph without pedalling. This feature provides faster acceleration, improved control at low speeds, and a more inclusive cycling experience for those who may need extra assistance.

For more information, visit the Wisper Full Throttle Option information page.

The certification process for a full-throttle Wisper eBike typically takes 2–8 weeks. This includes testing by the DVSA for Single Vehicle Approval and ensuring compliance with UK regulations. So please allow for an extended lead time if you choose the full throttle option.

Using the throttle can reduce the bike’s range significantly. For maximum efficiency, it’s best to use the throttle only when needed and rely on pedal assistance for longer rides.

• Hub-Drive Motor:
  Located in the front or rear wheel hub, this motor directly powers the wheel. Hub motors are quieter, require less maintenance, and are ideal for flat terrain and leisurely rides.
• Mid-Drive Motor:
  Positioned at the bike's centre, this motor powers the drivetrain. Mid-drive motors provide better balance, higher torque for climbing hills, and more efficient battery usage. They are preferred for challenging terrains and high-performance riding.
