I have an Oxygen eMate MTB. 90% of the time, when I'm commuting, I'm on the largest front chainring. However, when I go onto bridleways and encounter steep bits, having the option to change down to one of the smaller two rings is very useful. As was mentioned earlier, if the battery expires out...

'...haven't had a puncture in two years' is what I meant to say!

I had the bike serviced today & had the rear derailleur, cassette & chain replaced. I also had new gear cables fitted. Wow! What a difference. The changes are now slick, immediate and light. I hadn't realised how carp the changes had become over the miles. One advisory was that I need to change...

Jimmy at BGA Reworking is your man for a recell: https://www.bga-reworking.co.uk/e-bike-batteries.html

The issue seems to have rectified itself, so I assume it was caused by water ingress somewhere that has now evaporated.

So far BGA have been very supportive. They have arranged for UPS to collect the battery today and are going to rectify it under warranty. Brownie points for Jimmy...

Without knowing too much about your needs, the first bike that I thought of was a Haibike Trekking model - there are several. Haibike are sold throughout Europe and use either a Bosch or Yamaha mid-drive system. The Trekking models have racks and mudguards fitted as standard. They are also...

I don't think it'll be anything like that. It was taking a charge fine, then it was laid up a month or so during the Beast from the East. It was charged up during the time it was in the integral garage, but when I took it out and put it back on charge, I just got the green light using both of...

I was hoping to use the Orbit now the weather has improved, but the battery isn't taking a charge. It's going back to BGA to fix it. I assume it's only a minor BMS fault & I'll have it back soon. The Oxygen is great, but the Orbit is nicer to ride on roads, much quieter mechanically &...

I notice that Schwalbe now do Land Cruiser & Land Cruiser Plus tyres. I think the difference, apart from £1.50 more in price, is a thicker puncture protection band. My Land Cruisers are coming up for replacement & I'll probably buy the Plusses for the extra reassurance, although I have had a...

I had a d'oh moment earlier. I wrapped up & packed the battery and measured the box sizes, as requested, then set about replying to BGA's email. They only asked me to send the charger as well! I can't think why, as they must have hundreds! Well, I suspect they wanted to eliminate that as the...

Fortunately, the battery is under warranty from BGA & is going back to them a) once I've found the key to remove it & b) once I have packed it up & given them the dimensions.

Oh, I wasn't naiive enough to pay! I saw the delivery date slipping and thought better of it. I bought a Panda kit last year. Mostly things went well, except for the PAS that wasn't sent with the kit. I might still cough up later rather than sooner, as it is a very good deal for a...

Having contacted them through the website, delivery is now in July apparently... Oh, the motor fits the standard Brompton forks without modification.

Thank you! Whilst it is still needed, it appears that the issue is being caused elsewhere. The connector was bone dry yesterday, but the bike still wanted to wander off this morning. I assume it's down to the damp weather I've been riding in and ingress of water somewhere...

Thanks d8veh. I'd appreciate one if you manage to find it.

It used to have a throttle, but it wouldn't fit the bars I replaced the standard ones with. It is currently just dangling at the front of the bike rather exposed to the elements. Can caps be got & from where?

Good point! The throttle isn't connected, BUT its yellow connector is hanging loose from the display & is exposed to the elements and it's been wet on my last two rides. The bike has been in a heated storeroom for the last 3 hours and it didn't activate when I just switched it on. I'll seal it...

So, I switch on my eMate, as usual, and it starts powering the rear wheel intermittently when stationary. Enough for it to fall over this morning. It's not in Walk mode, just Eco mode, power level 6. I have done nothing to the bike recently except bleed the brakes and change the tyres. The...
