Crank It Cycles is excited to announce that we are now an authorised Wisper electric bike (e-bike) dealer.
Wisper 905se City
There has been interest in e-bikes for a while and we have been waiting until a range of high quality, well-engineered bikes becomes available.
E-bikes are ideal for people who want assistance to either travel longer distances or climb hills with ease. The more you pedal, the longer their range and they charge up in a few hours from a regular mains socket.
The batteries in Wisper e-bikes are light weight and user-friendly Lithium-polymer or Lithium-ion (the same as cell phones and cameras) so they are light, perform best, tolerate regular topping up and don’t mind being run flat.
There are standard and step-thru frame models, a folding bike and a kit to upgrade an existing or new bike available. We have in stock a 905SE City and a 705SE City step-thru frame bike.

The benefits of 29ers are now well established:
- Bigger wheels roll over bumps easier
- Bigger wheels hold their momentum better
- Bigger wheels have a larger contact patch with the ground, meaning increased traction for corning and climbing
The drawbacks with early 29ers are now mostly remedied:
- slow steering improved through geometry enhancements
- taller gearing remedied with new hubs and cassettes
- greater wheel and tyre choices mean the wheels aren't as heavy and therefore accelerate just about as well as 26” wheels
- shorter riders are accommodated with smart geometry
Read and hear more from Gary Fisher himself, one of the most famous 29er pioneers, at his website.
If you're curious then ask about our Gary Fisher Mamba demo bike! Or talk to Phil, he now has two Gary Fisher 29ers and he and his wife Linda ride a Jeffson custom 29er tandem.
We have 5 models in stock, or coming soon, and several available:
Gary Fisher Mamba 24-speed hard tail
Gary Fisher Rig single speed
