    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    If those prices are for the motor only, I'll try calling Oxydrive. They're out of stock at the moment, so the time may pass before winter's out.

    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    Yes, I've approached Oxygen without luck so far. I thought I'd explore other, probably cheaper, options as well. Thanks for the guidance everyone.

    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    Forgive my ignorance, but could I run a 48v motor using a 36V battery and 36v controller? What I'm after is a quick 10-minute wheel swap without anything else to worry over.

    Oxygen S-Cross MTB

    Not the same bike, but an Oxygen I'm very happy with: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/oxygen-e-mate-mtb13ah.21767/

    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    Right, thanks. I'm running unrestricted and weigh 85Kg. I'm happy at 20-25MPH and don't want silly speeds. Assuming I have to buy in from China, how much does the VAT/HMRC add on to the price?

    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    I'd definitely want to keep the 9-speed cassette to be able to have a straight swap. Is one more reliable than the others?

    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    I love my Oxygen. I'm commuting on it through the winter & it's quicker than the car. I have spiked tyres on it at the moment, and the weather is rather changeable. On my other non-powered MTB I have a spare set of wheels with knobblies & city tyres on them and I can swap over quite easily to...

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    You're probably right, but I'll still have a tinker. Two things bug me about the seatpost, neither of which relate to the quality of the item: 1) I wish the supplier had told me that it came with the neoprene cover as standard. I bought one at the same time & whilst it was only about 4 Euros...

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    Thanks. I can compare it to a (much cheaper) Woosh and two converted bikes and it is a massive step up in quality and performance over all of those machines. Since the last update, I've fitted the Suntour NCX seatpost with a shim and the Schwalbe Ice Spiker tyres. The guys at work said it looks...

    [Dec 26, 2016] Boxing Day Warwickshire Ride to blow away the Yule Cobwebs (Warwickshire)

    There are two stipulations: a 15MPH average speed (easily achievable) and a common-sense 'be prepared' one. Is that too many?

    [Dec 26, 2016] Boxing Day Warwickshire Ride to blow away the Yule Cobwebs (Warwickshire)

    No takers? Well, I've had an alternative offer for Boxing Day, so unless there's firm interest, I'll do this another day when the weather's probably better...

    Carrera Crossfire E v Oxygen S-Cross MTB.

    I have extensively reviewed my Oxygen eMate MTB on the review board. In essence, I love it - although I accept that it isn't the same model as the S-Cross. Battery life is great, the motor pulls like a train, even in Eco mode, and the componentry is very good for the price level. I can't...

    Suntour NCX Suspension Seatpost, 31.6mm

    30.8, I think. Now SOLD.

    Suntour NCX Suspension Seatpost, 31.6mm

    I recently bought this on ebay assuming it would fit my Oxygen ebike. It doesn't! I'm going to get a 27.2 one and a shim to fit it to my bike, so this one is surplus to requirements. I'm after what I paid for it; £35 posted.

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    Another update: The brakes are still working fine and inspire a lot of confidence now. I haven't had to do an emergency stop, but the power is there, if need be. The Beavertails are OK, but the rear one deposits clag onto the rear mech because it's too short. I could move the bracket to the...

    46yr old tubby guy trying to get back to the great outdoors

    Oxygen's MTB offerings are very good value. I have one of their eMate MTBs and it is an excellent bike at a very good price.

    [Dec 26, 2016] Boxing Day Warwickshire Ride to blow away the Yule Cobwebs (Warwickshire)

    I'm hopeful I can persuade a punter or two to join me on the ride starting from Warwick Station taking in The South Warwickshire countryside and some landmarks en route. Route proposal here. Setting out about 11am to make the most of what little daylight there is then. These landmarks are...

    Oxygen E-Mate FS

    'Twas I who bought it, and yes, I'm delighted with it. I have detailed my tweaks on the reviews board, should you be interested, but it's essentially untouched.
