It might sound a bit extravagant but I would seriously consider getting the Oxygen as well as the cx powered bike you already have. Almost by accident (quite literally) I have a Yamaha PU crank drive hardtail mountain bike and an old Oxygen hub powered Emate city. To explain I was knocked off...

I have both an old Oxygen Emate City hub powered bike and a Haibike Yamaha PU motored torque sensor crank drive Haibike and if you want exercise and assistance as well as the ability to tackle serious terrain off road the crank drive wins all up. However I have not ridden the highly acclaimed...

I might be wrong but I thought Oxygen was based in Yorkshire. Their rear hub mountain bike is very well thought of by owners with a long thread in the reviews section.

Sounds like you are having fun. Those custom settings sound a good way to fine tune the way the bike supports your efforts to take into account your weight, fitness terrain etc and you can obviously change them as your fitness improves, weight reduces or how the mood takes you. I also went...

Hi Kangooroo, Oxygen turned up trumps and after getting me to send them the above pictures had a rummage and found the last one they had in a box that I have duly bought and should be on its way to me. By the way how are you getting on with the replacement battery you bought for your Emate of...

Unfortunately my magnetic disc that activates my pedalec assist has taken a knock and broken into a number of pieces. Could anyone recommend a good contact / somewhere to get a quick replacement. It appears to have 5 magnets and looks to have the letters SM and A on the disc. This is a 2011...

I commute to work and back on a 2015 Yamaha PW powered de restricted Haibike sDuro Hard seven mountain bike with rear rack panniers mudguards and puncture resistant tyres. I have just completed four days with a total of 94 miles covered, averaging around 24 miles a day. My total milage since...

Valid point about drive train maintenance on a hub drive. I have an old 2011 Oxygen Emate City hub drive that I still use to get me to work on occassions (10 miles) and a hub drive is very relaxing to ride. At the cost of an Oxygen you could even budget to replace it every three to four years so...

I guess another issue trying to go quicker using more power on the road with higher gearing is that wind resistance would be a much greater factor and you would be hammering your battery a lot more.

I run a de restrricted 9 speed/single chainring set up with Yamaha PW and have managed to get it to perform the dual role of predominantly off route to work using some demanding single track sections and a return journey on the road where I try to average around 20mph for my 10 mile journey. I...

More beautiful weather for my cross country ride to work. Ride on Tuesday before disaster struck! Tuesday should have been a sublime ride to work (see pictures above) but a hidden branch sheared the bolt that attaches my right hand side pannier support rod and the impact pitched me off the...

Its always good to track down the source. Sometimes it is innocuous but you never know. With the price of batteries you sure don't want one of them falling off!

Another spurious noise. I have just completed a total of 70 miles in three days commuting to work and back in glorious weather enjoying my summer xc tracks. However I have had a noise seeming to coming from the front end area of the bike that has been infuriating to track down. It sounded...

I always do the basic AA £39 deal where you claim £20 of boots vouchers. You always have to agree to an automatic renewal and remember to cancel it after you have got your vouchers.

Just charge the battery back up at the other end of your commute before the return trip.

I know what you mean Deere John I found a really nice trail tucked away behind an overhanging tree that I had been passing by for a couple of years none the wiser. Felt a bit of a fool when I eventually discovered it. I use it quite a lot now.

Your forensic cleaning ability is always deeply impressive and somewhat humbling for us mere mortals. Very impressive though. After having to have my first motor replaced under warranty at 6000 miles and wanting the second one to last as long as possible I am now a bit paranoid about the...

I doubt it will be rocket science but it would have been nice to have had the heads up. I had to recently open my Yamaha battery on my Haibike to replace a broken charging socket after my dealer told me that the suppliers did not offer any facility to repair it leaving me with the only option...

Hi Gringo, this looks a very interesting bike with the new active line Bosch motor. It will be interesting to get your experiences as an owner going forward. I have not experienced one myself but like the look of them and like the reports that they are a very quiet motor in operation. I also...

I have to agree Trevormonty. A dual battery delite with rohloff hub would make as good a long distance all terrain tourer that I can think of. I think the rear rack is an inspired bit of thinking to allow you to carry panniers in an elegant way on a full suspension bike and in so doing removing...
