Thanks very, Andy. That is really helpful. I was wondering why you chose the Oxygen S-Cross MTB instead of the S-Cross CB which come with lights, mudguards, and a pannier rack? I am happy to pay the extra money if it is a better bike but to be honest, I don't understand the difference between...

Hi Mooksy, Which bike did you settle on? I am looking at the Oxygen and would appreciate any first hand experiences with it. I was contemplating a mid-drive motor bike previously but ran into problems with my current bike - a Kalkhoff - that have rendered it almost useless because the mid-drive...

Deal! Thanks.

Thanks D8veh - I spoke to Oxygen today and they said de-restricting their bike invalidates the warranty (which is fair enough) but it can be done and pointed me towards the forums. Is there a link to a thread on this forum that tells you how to do it?

It could be a great bike but your'e only really saving £50: https://www.axcess-electric-bikes.co.uk/elife-voyage-lightweight-folding-bike/

Hi d8veh, I have been doing some research into CD vs Hub drives and I have come to the conclusion you are right concerning the reliability issues of CD bikes, especially in terms maintenance and heavy expense of keeping them on the road if something goes wrong. I therefore have been looking at...

Hi Gaz, I take it you have one? If so, how do you rate it? Can you recommend any other ebikes? Toby

Hi Trevormonty, Thanks for your comments. Is there any commuter bikes you would recommend?

Hi d8veh, Thanks for your comments. It is most appreciated. Just wondering why you would favour a hub motor as opposed to a drive train? Is it purely the reliability of the motor and the relative difference in repair costs or does it run deeper than that? My understanding is that hub motors...

Many thanks but I am not sure I really like the look of that one. More of a personal preference. I would prefer something that is fully kitted out with mudguards, pannier racks, lights, etc. Do you have any other recommendations?

Hi, I'm looking to get a new ebike mainly for commuting and I am prepared to spend circa £2500-2700 for a bike with mudguards, pannier rack, lights, etc. I'm torn between these options: http://www.50cycles.com/electric-bikes/kalkhoff-bikes/integrale_i8.html...

Hi, I replaced the bolt for the speed senor on the back part of the frame for a dongle but seem to have lost the original bolt put the original senor in place. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement online?

I had 50 Cycles assess the bike and they advised me it requires a new motor. There is nothing I can do to patch it.

Thank for posting d8veh - I didn't know that.

The torque sensor on the bike is no longer working, which means the motor requires replacement. 50 Cycles can replace the motor for £600 with 3 year warrantee. Bike itself is in good condition with some superficial scratches. Gear hub was recently replaced (£200) and the 36 volt 540wh battery...
