Wisper Wayfarer H series Hub-Drive Crossbar Electric Bike
The Wayfarer H7 is the stablemate of the H9 crossbar version, its very stiff step through frame is perfect for the rider who really cares about comfort but wants excellent control. In City spec it is a comfortable commuter or day to day workhorse but underneath the city exterior beats the heart of a true thoroughbred. Hidden away the Wayfarer super hi torque hub motor develops 50Nm at the wheel which is about the same as 100Nm at the pedals. Strip off the comfort products and change the tyres and you have the perfect off roader for a day in the hills and forests.

From Manufacturer
"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.
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.
Wayfarer Adventure
Built for the more adventurous. We fit Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance, DD, RaceGuard, 27.5” x 2.6” 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.
Wayfarer Mountain
Completely stripped back but fitted with Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance, DD, RaceGuard, 27.5” x 2.6” tyres with extra safe Double Defence puncture protection so there is nothing to get in the way of an exhilarating day in the hills.
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."
