3.1 Battery on off and battery lock 3.9.1 Your Wisper bike is supplied with 3 identical keys. The key is only used for locking the battery into the bike. Please keep a careful note of the key number as we cannot replace it without this number should it become mislaid.

3.2.3.7 If a problem is suspected with the bike press the set button and down arrow simultaneously to display any error code. Refer to section 2.8 for the error code descriptions. Contact your Wisper dealer for advice should this occur.
3.4 Pedelec mode and ASSIST mode 3.4.1 When you first ride your 806Classic you will notice that after half to one turn of the pedals the motor will start working assisting you ride the bike by adding power to the front wheel. This is the standard or pedelec mode.
3.5 Throttle Mode 3.5.1 The throttle is located on the left hand handlebar and can be used independently to the pedelec mode to provide full power irrespective of assist level selected (providing at least level 1 is selected) but the operation will vary depending on the country where the bike is supplied. Bikes are set up to be legal in the region in which they are supplied and will either provide full power (100%) or power up to 4 mph (6kph) (walkalong mode) independently of the pedelec.
Page 18
The Wisper pedelec system simply detects that the pedal cranks are turning and any continued forward motion of the cranks will result in the bicycle electronics proving the full level of assistance selected on the handlebar display regardless of rider input effort.
3.7 Gear shifter 3.6.1 The 806 Classic is fitted with a 7 speed Shimano Nexus gear unit contained within the rear hub. 3.6.2 The twist grip gear shifter is located on the right hand side of the handlebars. Turning the twist grip away or towards you as shown by the arrows on the grip you will change gear which will be indicated by a corresponding gear number in the twist grip housing.
3.8 Brakes 3.7.1 Front and rear V brakes are fitted to the bicycle. 3.7.2 The brake levers are fitted with cut outs which are required by law. This means that when you pull on either the back or front brake lever the motor immediately stops working. 3.7.3 Inspect brake pads for wear on a regular basis.
3.7.6 Re insert the curved tubular cable into the left hand brake arm and adjust the brake cable so that the combined pad/rim clearance (the gaps from left pad to left rim surface and from right pad to right rim surface) is 2mm. This adjustment can be made either at the handlebar brake lever cable adjuster or the inner cable clamp screw on the right hand brake arm.
3.10 Quick release saddle height, handlebar adjustment and folding mechanism 3.9.1 Your Wisper bike has been fitted with a quick release seat post clamp to facilitate the movement of the saddle to change the riding position. 3.9.2 It is important that the knurled nut on the collar is tightened so the post will not move in the seat post tube when the clamp lever is closed.

3.9.5 To fold the bike first fold each pedal by pushing the pedal inwards and then fold the pedal through 90 degrees as shown below. Lower the handlebars to the lowest position using the quick release clamps above, then release the quick release clamp at the base of the handlebar stem and fold the handlebars downwards taking care not to strain any of the control cables.
Page 24
The picture below shows the bike in the correct folded position. 3.9.6 To unfold the bike follow the reverse steps above ensuring all quick release clamps are securely fastened and no cables are trapped. Ensure the safety catch for the handlebar lower quick release lever is engaged after making the adjustment.
3.11 Saddle post suspension 3.10.1 For your comfort your bike has been fitted with saddle post suspension and it has been set for a person weighing 75kg. If you are lighter than this you may not feel any benefit and if you are heavier you may feel the suspension bottoming out.
3.13 Drive wheel removal 3.12.1 To completely remove the rear wheel it is necessary to disconnect the main motor cable connecting the motor to the bicycle electrical system. This is located on the front fork. Turn off all electrical systems on the bike and un plug the two halves of the connector by carefully pulling them apart taking care not to strain the cables.
3.14 Chain adjustment 3.13.1 It is important that the chain is correctly tensioned. The correct tension is obtained when the chain can be deflected by approximately 10mm in the middle of the chain run between the chainwheel and the rear sprocket under moderate finger pressure. If it is necessary to adjust the tension slacken the rear wheel spindle nuts and move the wheel spindle backwards or forwards in the frame dropouts until the correct tension is achieved.
