Wisper E-Bikes Gets New Owner and Supply Chain After Daforza Takeover
Distribution firm Daforza has confirmed it has taken full ownership of the Wisper Electric Bikes brand, having completed its acquisition from AMPS Bikes earlier this year. The company says it has now established an independent supply chain for the marque, separating it from arrangements previously overseen by the former owner.
Alongside the announcement, Daforza has moved to clarify its stance on an ongoing dispute involving Cycleman, a matter it inherited as part of the takeover. The firm says it wants to be transparent with retailers and customers about where responsibility lies, stressing that the disagreement predates its involvement with the Wisper brand and relates to obligations set up under the previous ownership structure.
Wisper has built a loyal following among UK e-bike riders over the years, particularly for its touring and commuter models, so any uncertainty around ownership or supply naturally raises questions about spare parts, warranty support and battery servicing. Daforza says its priority now is to reassure existing owners that aftersales support will continue uninterrupted, while it works through the legacy issues tied to the previous corporate arrangement.
Details of the new supply chain remain relatively light, though Daforza indicates that sourcing and logistics will be brought more directly under its own control rather than relying on third-party arrangements inherited from AMPS Bikes. The company has not given a specific timeline for when riders might notice changes in stock availability or component sourcing.
For readers considering an e-bike purchase, or those already running a Wisper, ownership changes like this are worth watching closely. Brand transitions in the e-bike sector can affect everything from firmware updates to battery replacement lead times, so continuity of support is just as important as the bike itself when it comes to long-term reliability on the road.
