Oxygen MTB off-road speed

[Tugwell Gibson]

hi all. For some reason my throttle will got to 16.5 unassisted. Then cuts out . As does peddle assist.
I read on here about chnging wheel size to a smaller setting to fool the speed sensor.

Well. The motor doesn't cut out at all now. In fact My bottle went first. However it is now reading a much slower speed.

My real wheel size should be 700. Did someone on here once post what size smaller wheel to set it for so that You can use kph and that would be a fairly accurate mph? I thought I read it over xmas but cannot find it now.

Regards Paul.

Thanks Leigh. I'm the same as the OP I think. New version of the LCD puter. Doesn't have those options.

While your there Leigh. Great work on the videos. I watched them all and know the time and effort that goes into filming editing and uploading. They are great and really encouraged me to go for an emtb and spend a bit more. Once I saw how you were tearing across those fields. I'm now doing the same. Riverbanks and fields and unused tracks round here that no one even fancies walking through let alone trying to ride on are now easily accessible . Loving it.

D8veh rates your bike as very fast and he knows.

The latest Oxygens can all be derestricted to give about 24 mph or more. There's separate settings for the throttle and pedal sensor. You need the secret code.

Your comments are appreciated. But please don't encourage me. Click, click.

Thanks Dave. I've put the wheel size back to normal. As I'm not a great cyclist and I'm not going to use that speed. If I ever need it and it's legal to do so I guess I can just change the wheel size quickly.

 

[IR772]

Give him the secret code D8veh, then we can wait for the review !!!!!!

 

[Tugwell Gibson]

Lol. You would need another test pilot. I haven't even got a bike helmet yet. I'm bombing around in hiking boots and a fishing parka. Even within legal limits people must be thinking "blimey that sofa on wheel is going at a good clip"

As I've read on here. With de restricting an ebike You can't get any more power. It just cuts out assist at a higher speed. Is that right?

BUY A CYCLE HELMET.

 

[Tugwell Gibson]

It's on the shopping list.

What @IR772 said is right. I landed on my head on 24/12/16. Fortunately, my helmet stopped me from having nothing more than a scratched elbow over Christmas.

As for more power.. I dunno, it just goes faster. Do you mean power for hills? I must try that next time I'm out.

It must be an English thing, I have never hit my head when I fell off my bike. Last time was at speed (27 km/h +) in a corner, I tried leaving too much room for a following car and went over a wall onto the footpath. The bike still bears scars, just to remind me to be more selfish...

Yep, I got lucky.. Lucky that it wasn't higher. Only around 4 ft down to the bottom of the ditch. Any deeper could have meant a broken neck. My helmet, right shoulder and right elbow took the brunt of the fall.

I was making progress (30+mph) when then pannier strap caught and drove the mudguard under the rear wheel.
Rear wheel skid followed and the back started to come round .
When I was at right angles to direction of travel the grip returned and I high sided at well over 20. Even with helmet on I blacked out and had concussion. Very dashed and confused.
And I'm not English.

 

[IR772]

Ouch!

Bet you went large with the ice pack.

Did you also get "how bloody stupid at your age".

I was going slowly on an off-road cycle track when a small twig got stuck between my front mudguard and the wheel. I heard the rubbing noise, so looked down to see what it was. The next thing,I went straight over the handlebars. The twig tucked the mudguard back on itself so it jammed between the wheel and the fork-crown, making a rather good brake.

Glad you are, more or less, [emoji108]

I , once I might add, dangled a carrier bag of shopping of my left handlebar grip

Going no more than 10mph absolute max it swung into the front wheel and stopped it dead. I went straight over the bars and Inot the back of a stopped taxi.

Never forgiven myself for such idiocy. Luckily minor injuries to everything except my brand new Brooks saddle !

Regarding the speed; I have my eMate set to Eco mode, level 6, so plenty more power to come. On Wednesday I was riding home in the dark along the shared path I use when I caught up with a bike and got ready to overtake. I noticed it was a bike courier as he (I assume) had one of those square backpack things on. I went round him making a right racket with my spiked tyres. Did he not like that! He tried to speed up, so I went up a gear and pedalled a bit harder and left him behind, no doubt cursing me. I was doing about 23-24MPH as I went by. I wonder how fast I could go in Speed mode, level 6?
