    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    I don't mind, but I won't put the price here. If you look in the Classifieds thread you'll see RonnyUK's ad. That's the bike and I paid a little under his asking price, plus he very generously delivered it. It equates very nicely to the current price of a new 13AH Karoo.

    That's well worth knowing for when the battery gives up the ghost, thanks.

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    Forgive my ignorance, but are these 48V batteries plug and play, or are any other mods needed?

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    I've had the bike almost two weeks now, so have had time to get used to it in the 250 miles I've done on it since buying it. I should add that it was bought secondhand, so I can't vouch for the battery's care since new, but it seems OK. It had only c.120 miles on the clock when bought. It's a...

    Woosh Sirocco CD

    I have just bought a secondhand Oxygen e-Mate MTB after having had a Woosh Sirocco CDL and two converted bikes over the last 18 months or so. Put simply, it is brilliant compared to all of the above. It is well put together and there are no cheap components. It sails over bridleways and the...

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    :) Fixed now and no brake rub. A short test ride saw everything working as it should. The mudguards & bar ends will have to wait until tomorrow!

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    (Offensive language? Hopefully you pressed the wrong button...) Thanks for the advice. I'm assuming the anti-rotation washers have the lug between the axle and the dropout? Or does it go the other side of the axle?

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    Right, since dropping the rear wheel out and reinstalling it I'm having alignment problems. My fault, as I didn't make a note of the fastener positions before removing the wheel. (In my defence, it's a heavy lump and fell out of position whilst up on the stand.) Any chance someone could tell me...

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    I took it on a couple of bridleways on the way home the last two days. It handled well, although at muddy stretches it showed its weight. Yesterday I got a puncture, so had a good excuse to swap the tyres over to the Land Cruisers. It sailed along very quickly and much quieter today due to the...

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    On ECO setting 5 I did 9.7 miles in 33 minutes today. That's an average speed I'm very happy with. Once the Land Cruisers are fitted I should be able to be even more efficient. The battery conked out on the way home today, but only after 35 miles of similarly rapid riding.

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    A question: Which setting would use most power/battery: Eco mode level 5 Normal mode level 3? I'm finding the bike quite powerful enough with 1), but wondering which would be optimal. Until I sort the brakes out, I don't want to go any faster...

    Worth a try, thanks. I'm busy with my new Oxygen, so might just let time do the work.

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    Thanks for that. I'll have a play with the different settings over the next few days to and from work. whilst it has the knobblies on I might even take the cross country route home before the clocks change. Update: Settled for Eco Mode, PAS level 5 this morning and it's still faster than the...

    Oxygen E mate MTB13AH

    I've just bought mine off RonnyUK OTP. First impressions are very favourable. I've been out for a 6-7-mile spin on it and in the Power mode it goes like stink. I tried the Normal mode next and it still pulls like a train. Next I put it into Eco mode and it's still more powerful than my converted...

    Hmm, thanks for the help so far. I have no way of discharging the battery, AFAIK.

    OK, 41.6V at the battery outlets. The wiring looks fine too. Controller?
