Wisper Tailwind City Crossbar E-Bike 250W

Power and Performance

The Wisper Tailwind City Crossbar Electric Bike is expertly designed for reliable performance and agile handling in urban settings. Featuring a 250W high-torque brushless motor, it delivers smooth and consistent pedal assistance, making light work of city inclines and stop-start traffic. With intuitive handlebar-mounted controls, you can adjust assistance levels on the go for a seamless ride every time.

Battery and Range

Tailor your ride to suit your needs with a choice of two dependable lithium battery options. The slimline 360Wh battery provides up to 50 miles (80km) of assisted range, while the extended 540Wh version takes you further—up to 70 miles (110km) on a single charge. Both options are managed for maximum efficiency, giving you the confidence to go the distance without worry.

Lightweight and Nimble

Weighing just 19kg with the 360Wh battery or 20kg with the 540Wh, the Tailwind City is exceptionally light for an electric bike in its category. The low overall weight and balanced geometry enhance manoeuvrability, making it ideal for weaving through busy streets, lifting onto public transport, or navigating tight corners with ease.

Shimano 9-Speed Drivetrain

Take on a variety of terrains with confidence thanks to the reliable Shimano Alivio 9-speed drivetrain. With smooth gear transitions and a wide range of ratios, it enables efficient pedalling whether you’re accelerating away from traffic lights or cruising along open cycle lanes.

High-Performance Tyres

Fitted with 27.5" Kenda puncture-resistant tyres, this e-bike delivers superb grip and comfort. Reflective detailing along the sidewalls enhances visibility in low-light conditions, while the tread design ensures a stable ride across tarmac and light gravel—perfect for mixed urban journeys.

Backlit LCD Display

Keep track of your ride at a glance with Wisper’s backlit LCD display, positioned conveniently on the handlebars. View your speed, battery status, assistance level, trip data, and more, all with minimal distraction. Handlebar-mounted remote controls allow quick adjustments without interrupting your ride.

Comfort-Focused Design

Enjoy every journey with a comfort-optimised setup, including an upright riding position, wide handlebars, and Wisper’s own comfort saddle. Whether commuting to work or taking a leisurely weekend ride, the Tailwind City is built for a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Durable Frame and Clean Aesthetics

Crafted from tough yet lightweight 6061 aluminium alloy with smooth welds and internal cable routing, the frame offers long-lasting durability and a refined, uncluttered appearance. Mounting points for an ABUS frame lock and additional accessories make it easy to customise the bike to your lifestyle.

Confident Braking

Ride with peace of mind thanks to powerful hydraulic disc brakes—180mm at the front and 160mm at the rear. These deliver strong, reliable stopping power in all weather conditions, enhancing control and safety across every ride.

Style Meets Practicality

Available in a sleek Black or sophisticated Stone finish, the Wisper Tailwind City Crossbar Electric Bike strikes the perfect balance between modern style and everyday practicality. Built for city life, it’s a versatile companion for commuting, errands, or casual rides, offering performance you can count on.
