I'm considering the Wisper 806 (Torque) but I'm not going to be able to see one in the flesh, so to speak, before ordering.
My concern is that, looking at the few pictures I've seen, the mounting bars for panniers seem to be positioned in such a way as to prevent the bags being mounted towards the back of the rack. If I get one I'll be using it for supermarket shops so I want to be sure that I'm not going to get any heel strike with full panniers.
Any 806 riders out there who can reassure me or offer any advice on this bike?
For background, I'm looking to get a folding e-bike because I don't have room for another full size bike. I'm looking for something that's not quite a cargo bike but can carry a reasonable load, so a rear rack is essential.
