Very, very new to this (ie yesterday)

[Horrible Bloke]

Hello all, I've just got a new Oxygen S-Cross MTB Mk2 for my commute and (hopefully) some off road cycling too.
I'll be completely honest, I joined this forum to see if I could find out how to derestrict my bike for the off road bit.
I know there's a video on YouTube explaining how to do this with the old display, but this bike has a new, smaller one.
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Don't forget that a derestricted bike is only legal off-road on private land with no public access; not on bridleways, tow paths, etc.

I'm in the same boat as you! I'm waiting for mine to be delivered tomorrow hopefully. Having contacted Oxygen, it appears that the very latest MTB MkII's can't be deristricted, and you can't fit a throttle to them either (which has pissed me off a bit!) However, I can't believe there's not a way around these issues.....

There's always a way round it. It just depends how much work you're prepared to do.

That's how I look at it- maybe between us we'll crack it!

I'm in the process of making enquiries. I'll let you know when I have something. I'm not convinced that what's being said is correct.

Why are you ?
They are selling legal pedelecs so now seem to be applying the letter of the law.

If you want throttle and de-restriction then simply buy a different bike.

As ebikes move forward we may see more of these not so easy to tamper systems on more bikes.

Fingers crossed we come up with something!

No mention was made on any literature from Oxygen that there were any changes on the latest versions of this bike, and it was never a problem on older ones. However, having bought it, I'm not going to 'simply' buy another bike, a) I don't need more than one, and b)
certainly not going to fork out another £1500!

Simply they don't need to state de-restriction or throttles as non comply with pedelecs law.
Just because older models were able to be nobbled doesn't mean new models will be the same.
