Thank you Kenny.The Rio is now on the Woosh website and states that the controller is neatly integrated in the frame.
I've always disliked controllers hanging in a separate bag or box.
Looks so much neater when it's out of sight.
yes, it has the usual functions, battery meter, trip meter, odometer and usual settings, wheel diameter, miles/km, maximum assist speed.Does the LCD show any more info than just speed and a battery indicator?
The XF08C CST kit that I sell has a cassette adapter on the motor, the SWX02 has a larger core and thread for a screw-on freewheel. Both run from the same battery and controller.Whats the difference between a CST motor and a SWX02 motor or is it the same thing.
The Oxygen is sold through a large dealer network, with local dealer service that has to be paid for. If I sell to a shop the Rio MTB at £1,049, the same price I sell from my website, the dealer has to add his 30%, making it £1,399 in his shop. I will eventually have to sell my bikes through the shops but not yet.ying to work out why the Oxygen is £450 more for the same 13ah battery version.....they seem very very similar
Youve confused me even more on the motor nowyes, it has the usual functions, battery meter, trip meter, odometer and usual settings, wheel diameter, miles/km, maximum assist speed.
The XF08C CST kit that I sell has a cassette adapter on the motor, the SWX02 has a larger core and thread for a screw-on freewheel. Both run from the same battery and controller.
If you want to use an SWX02 on a bike with cassette fitting, you have to buy an equivalent freewheel.
Therefore, if your bike has 9-10 speed cassette, the XF08C is a better choice, if it has 7-8 speed, cassette or freewheel, the SWX02 is better choice for torque.

Yes. Bafang make motor shells in 120mm, 140mm and 160mm in diameter. Both bikes use 140mm shell.The oxygen has the CST kit apparently...yours has the SWX02...for the ignorant amongst us, well me anyway...does it basically provide the same thing but different because of the different number of gears on each bike then?
Cassettes usually give you choice between 11T-32T, Shimano freewheels 14T-34T. Cassettes therefore let you have more gear inches compared to freewheels.Is there any benefit in having a cassette over a freewheel on an e-bike?
There you go, confusing me againCassettes usually give you choice between 11T-32T, Shimano freewheels 14T-34T. Cassettes therefore let you have more gear inches compared to freewheels.
The Woosh Rio has a DNP 8-speed freewheel, 11T-30T.
There is not much between an DNP 11T-30T freewheel and a 11T-32T cassette. DNP make also 9-speed and 10-speed freewheels to replace corresponding cassettes.

Now you're trying to confuse mehttp://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/
its a small frame tho so prob to small for you but its £1300 and they can make a bike based around that motor.
what you want is a cheap decent doner bike to send him like this.
