Introduction and Purchaser Responsibilities
Thank you for choosing a Wisper electric bicycle. By making the decision to use an
electric bike you are helping to safeguard our environment by saving our planet’s
precious resources and reducing carbon pollution.
Before you use your Wisper bike you must read this manual carefully. If there is anything
you do not understand completely please contact Voltage Bikes Ltd or your bike dealer.
The statements below set out your responsibilities as the owner/rider of an electric bike.
It is your responsibility as a cyclist to obey all relevant federal and provincial laws and
regulations that apply to the operation of a power assisted bicycle. The laws that apply to a
power assisted bicycle are similar to those for a normal bicycle. However, there are some
minor variations. For example, in British Columbia, the bicycle can only legally be used on
the road by a person aged 16 years or older. In addition, an approved bicycle helmet must
be used when riding.
If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we recommend that you attend a cycle proficiency course
prior to using your electric bike. As with all bicycles it is important that you stay within
safe limits and adjust your riding to match conditions; remember the bike will not stop as
quickly on wet or icy surfaces.
It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure they are in proper physical condition to ride a Wisper
electric bicycle.
The bicycle must be assembled by a person competent in bike mechanics. None of Wisper
Bikes Ltd, Voltage Bikes Ltd or any of its distributors, accept any legal liability for accident or
injury caused by improper installation of any of the components utilised on this electric
bicycle. If you are not fully competent with bicycle maintenance and tuning procedures,
you must have your bike checked over by a qualified bicycle technician before riding it.
The rider is responsible for inspecting and making sure the bike is in safe working order
prior to riding each time. Before each use of your bike you should:
1) Check the handle bars and handle bar stem are properly tightened;
2) Check all other nuts and bolts and fixings are properly tightened, pay particular
attention to the motor fixings, wheel nuts, side kick stand, yoke and steering head
