In 2011 I bought an Oxygen Emate City from 50 cycles in Richmond. Just within the two year warranty period I had a motor problem and contacted 50 cycles. They told me they had stopped selling Oxygen bikes and were unable to help me. I contacted Andrew direct who owned Oxygen at the time who...

Sorry to hear that Nealh. Any dramatic failure of a tyre has potentially very serious consequences. I heard of another member experience the same problem that I had and It put me off the brand. I have to say that the Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres that I...

That's not a Ducati, this is a Ducati

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/terry-scott-gets-badasse.24180 I loved the humour in this thread from some time ago. We all have entrenched views on this topic with the restricted lobby rightly able to take the moral high ground. If Wolfie were writing it today the rather lovely and...

I prefer not to wear one, and would be against legislation that forced everyone to wear one like Australia. In the country where more people ride a bike than anywhere else, Holland, people agree with me and don't wear one. However I think I am now in the minority in the UK where most other...

Although as a non tech eee it is strangely relaxing reading a thread like this I cannot but come to the conclusion that there is a massive elephant in the room. Take the bike back. Get your money back. Buy a different bike that is actually fit for purpose. End of. It is a brand new bike and...

I would actually recommend getting an extra battery asap to avoid the full to flat regime that you are inflicting on your battery at present and may be one of the worst ways to ensure the longevity and capacity retention of your existing expensive battery. It sounds as if your battery almost...

For me as a commuter how tough, puncture resistant and hard wearing a tyre is wins over all other considerations. The bottom line is that you really do not want any punctures if you need to be at work at a specific time. My Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in...

I had a problem with side wall failure leading to dramatic blow out rear wheel punctures on the rear wheel when I had a pair of schwalbe smart sam plus tyres fitted and now use another brand. The schwalbe tyre everyone speaks highly of is the Marathon plus and perhaps I would still be using...

The 400wh battery on my sDuro Yamaha 2015 that I commute to work and back on is the original one and still performs almost as well as it did when new. The bike has now covered 10190 miles. I charge the battery to full as close to departure as possible for my 14 mile cross country ride to work...

Ordinary mountain bike rim brakes got really powerful towards the end of their development and worked well off road. I managed to get a cheap pair of Mavic ceramic rimmed wheels for my old Marin rim braked bike that allowed me to put my brakes on as hard as I liked. If you make the...

Actually thinking about your issue I realize that if you change the connectors on your battery and charger while warranty remains you absolve the company from fixing any other warranty issue that may arise with either item. I think this is more about the service or lack of service that the...

Sorry to hear of our similar battery/charger issue. Your situation highlights that their customer service is even worse than I thought as your bike is under warranty and they still will not fix it. As I have shown, with care it is just a matter of replacing the Yamaha connectors (which are a...

I did not really consider that my crank drive mountain bike would save me money by replacing car journey's on my ride to work and back but was more interested in the ability of the bike off road, the exercise I would get and most importantly the fun! However two return trips saves a gallon of...

Lovely sunny Autumnal 16 mile ride to work this morning. The idea had been to take a number of pictures but my wonderful daughter had worn out the batteries in the digital camera without replacing them so this was the only one I was able to take and may have ended up on the directors cutting...

Probably me, but I agree that these ebikes become quite addictive. Good that we are both enjoying them.

I have not gone so far as to get rid of my motorcycles or cars but find that I am using my electric bikes as my go to form of transport nearly every day, commuting to work and back, shopping and any number of other errands and tasks. They really are very useful. Yesterday both I and my wife had...

Hi Biscitt, I am afraid that I am no expert at diagnosing or mending these systems. My own dealer has been very good, but was unable to help me with my own out of warranty battery problem. Fortunately my problem was broken connectors at the battery and the charger and this was relatively easy...
