Hey everyone,

Both of these bikes are in my budget and look like they might be the ones for me. Been going through the different specs and reviews and unsure about which to pull the trigger on.

I plan to cycle on the roads and some limited off roading. Dirt paths in country parks nothing too adventurous.

Thanks to this site I saw this ongoing review of the Oxygen and was impressed: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/oxygen-scross-mtb-mk-ii-ongoing-review.35952/

Only concern I have is the frame size at 19" might be a little to small for me (5' 11" - 180cm).

I've seen a review for the Delta here:

However it's a little light on details.

So if anyone has any insights or advice they wish to share I would be very grateful.

Camino should do a good job for that sort of riding too: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?camino
Less posh components and maybe you don't like the very visible battery, but will save quite a bit (even with big battery)

The Oxygen will be fine, sizewise. Note that it's changed since that review was done. There is no longer a throttle and the speed limit can't be adjusted.

The battribike looks OK, but £680 for a battery is a rip-off. It might be a standard battery that you can buy for around £300 from Aliexpress.

Thanks for the heads up, wasn't aware that the battery was not worth what they were pricing it at.

Thank you vfr400

Thank you for bringing Swoosh to my attention, I think I possibly found a bike for me:


Seems like a beefer version of the Camino but it's specs will support my weight. Thank you sjpt!
