    Ok so really I'm best getting the woosh Mtb with road tyres. If at some point I want to off road I will need to get either different tyres or a second bike?

    Wow you are literally in the same position as me (well you were but now you seem to be much fitter than me). I think I am now in a position to say I will be getting a MTB and now it is more about value for my money. I'm not an extreme biker (not rode per the title) and after speaking to the...

    Thanks for the responses. My commute from north wales to Chester is about 9 miles and I would say is 90 % flat, however, there are 3 steep inclines (and declines) back to back. (when I say steep there is no sign for the incline on the road, so probably not to bad for an experience rider). So...

    Ha, it's my bad I really know nothing about bikes... So I'm very confused now . I like the look of the oxygen MTB and it seems a rack can be put on back (although looks sold out). How would the hybrid bikes perform on say a dirt trail through the park? Or is that a no go are they really just...

    (sorry didn't realise could edit last comment) is one bike going to be quicker than the other? I prefer the look of the oxygen, but to my untrained eye it looks to have a smaller battery and cost more? Also - Is there anything else on this price range that compares with these?

    thanks for the reply. What is the benefit of the focus over say http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb I despise the colour scheme on the woosh (can this be changed)?

    Hi All, New poster but have been browsing for a while... I have a few questions, which I am struggling to find answers for. About me: I am 34, 5,9" around 14.5 stone. Very unfit.... Use - As much as I would like to pretend the bike is going to be used for off road, the reality is it will be...
