Angry guy on eBay

[Rab C Nesbitt]

Hello all
Stumbled across this - I know nothing about Oxford Gearbox, but this guy is obviously not a happy bunny and with some justification given the amount he's forked out.

Anyway, just a warning to anyone thinking of going down this route

This looks like an adaptation of the Cyclone 3 piece chainwheel kit with twin motors.

The Cyclones are best at 350 watts (or 500 watts if the extra is essential), and I've never recommend the twin motor setup.

Poor bloke, at least he wont need to order any weightlifting kit in the foreseeable future!

That is a crying shame. Some people just dont have any god-damned morals.

I sold two lifepo batteries, but not until I had tested them fully.

This ebike thing is hard enough- nothing worse than getting on your bike, dropping the hammer and.....nothing.

Obviously, this is happening with regularity. When I sold my batteries, one of them sold in a matter of hours. Hours. The reason? The UK buyer saw he was dealing with an Irish seller and that if there were any beefs, the seller wasn't 15000 miles away.

It's poor form, but until we get some dedicated British-Isles sellers who offer this stuff at reasonable prices, it is going to keep happening.

I looked at some ebay listings from that seller when I was researching my own kit.

The claims he made in his adverts were blatant lies, and extremely misleading. I reported him to ebay there and then, but heard nothing back.

It really pays to do your homework before you make a purchase!

Ebay is being swarmed {some would say steamed} by re-sellers and cowboys, from the Far East, who sell this stuff in an fashion which is attractive to us over here. Bottom line is....its not really worth the risk, Buying Inter-Forum is your best bet.
