I have a mark 1 Oxygen ST which developed the same battery problem as yours- would only charge to 37/38v. Sent the battery off to Torqu-e-cycles at 139 Babbacombe Rd, Torquay TQ1 3SR , see website. No rebuild needed, BMS at fault. BMS repaired and battery charging to 42.8v. Great result. Lot...

Try Torqu-e-cycles, Babbacombe, Torquay TQ1 3SR . Tele 01803 325945 . They are opening on Tuesday 4/10/23, after a shop refurb. They recell batteries, I'm waiting to call them re my battery - not the same as yours but worth a call?

According to the ebike batteries website, Jimmy is in ill-health and so his business will be closed for an indefinite period. Let's hope he is able to return to good health - his battery re-celling service will be badly missed. Does the forum have an alternative recommendation for battery...

I purchased a Kalkhoff Agattu for my wife to use for her local shopping trips in Dec 2007 and it is still being used for shopping two or three times a week. Has done about 10,000 miles and the current battery (13Ah) is now 7yrs old and still looking good. Never had any problems, changed the...

Good news (for me)!! For the past 3-4 days, I've no longer got the Brexit thread appearing in the "what's new" or the "new posts" sections? I have done nothing myself to cause this, presumably some site adjustment? While I've no complaints at all with this arrangement, it is not listed in my...

How does one now ignore a thread? For over a year I,ve been able to enjoy this forum as a "Brexit-free" escape. After a few months you even forget it exists. So, any help enabling a return to ignoring threads would be a great early Xmas gift and much appreciated!

Hello Tomwal, I'm of a similar age to you and have been riding a step-thru Agattu for the past 8years. I've covered about 5000miles purely for pleasure, and at no great pace, with no problems at all. I've renewed the chain, 1 set of tyres and several sets of brake blocks. The saddle is coming...

God help us if this is one of our most "charismatic" politicians!

It seems that there are two choices - remain in the EU or will we all go to hell, leave the EU and we will all go to heaven! What a shame that at the moment we have a bunch of uninspiring politicians in all parties?

So you agree that we don't have the same voting powers re the EU as we do in relation to our own politicans and so we have lost part of our democratic rights- we now have "democratic underpinning"?

Cowardice on the part of who? Those who want outside of the EU or those who think it is best to stay within the EU, the so called unknown or the known? You could argue that going into the "unknown" is the braver option?

But we are not going to stay in the "present known", we will be going into an unknown future whether we stay in the EU or not. The future of the EU is now looking more uncertain than it has ever done since it's inception.

But at least you can vote our politicians out of office - we don't have the same power re our EU rulers?

Is it your opinion or is it a judgement on your part that "Most will vote on very limited issues without knowing all the implications of their choice"? If you are not included in this majority, perhaps you could assist the less well informed? "The price of democracy" never included the...

It's a pity the CBI did not say how many billions the EU were making in trade to the UK. Then we could see who benefited most from the 10 billion cost of EU membership?
